Transfecting Plasmodium berghei with the Plasmodium falciparum thiazole kinase gene
(University of NairobiSchool of Biological Sciences, 2010)As current antimalarial drugs become progressively ineffective due to parasite resistance there is need to develop and pursue new therapeutic strategies. Parasite-specific metabolic pathways promise to make an ideal ... -
The transfer ribonucleic acid methyltransferases from the bloodstream form of trypanosoma brucei
(University of NairobiFaculty of Science. University of Nairobi, 1984)The methyltransferases are a group of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of methyl groups from a donor substrate to a recipient substrate. The donor substrate is usually s-adenosyl-I-methionine (SAM), while the recipient ... -
Transgenic Expression Of The Tsetse Fly Glossina Fuscipes Fuscipes Olfactory Receptor, Or67d, In Drosophila Melanogaster
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Tsetse flies are the sole vectors of Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) and Animal African trypanosomiasis (Nagana). The insect is attracted to its suitable hosts through external signals which are perceived ... -
Transition metal chelates of some quinquedentate and tridentate ligands
(1987)Transition metal chelates containing tridentate and quinquedentate ligands have been prepared and studied. Three bis-Schiff bases, N,N'-disalicylidene-4-R-2, 6-di(aminomethyl) anisole (R = Cl, Br, CH3) were synthesized ... -

(Faculty of Science, University of Nairobi, 1987) -
Transport phenomenon of photo injected electrons in dye sensitized solar cells.
(University of NairobiSchool of Physical Sciences, 2008)Transport phenomenon of photo injected electrons in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) has been studied and reported whereby the movement of charge carriers has been assumed to be predominantly by diffusion. A theoretical ... -
Treatment of a recycled paper mill waste water using an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactor
(University of Nairobi, 1994)Manufacturing of paper by recycling of waste paper is currently receiving attention allover the world especially in the developing countries as a consequence of the high cost associated with production of paper from ... -
Trends in Low Birthweight Deliveries as an indicator of Malaria Transmission
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Low birthweight (LBW < 2500 g) is a phenomenon that is more pronounced in developing countries where infectious diseases are most prevalent. Malaria infection in all endemic areas of Sub-Saharan Africa has become an ... -
Trends In Sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine And Chloroquine Resistance Markers In Malindi And Busia Districts, Kenya.
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences, 2006)Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the high mortality rate of malaria in sub-Sahara Africa. In an attempt to monitor this disease and provide valuable information to the anti-malarial drug program, I have surveyed ... -
Tri-trophic interactions between parasitoids,Lepidopteran stem borers and BT maize
(School of Biological Sciences, 2009)One of the major constraints to maize production in East Africa is attack by lepidopteran stem borers, including Chilo partellus and Sesamia calamistis. Stem borer control by conventional methods has had variable success. ... -
