A study of the butterfly diversity in the Arabuko-Sokoke forest, Kenya
(1997)
In this study the diversity of butterfly fauna in the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest is examined by
looking into their population abundance and seasonality. Investigation of these were by means
of systematic collecting and trapping, ...
Comparative study of the effects of benzoquinones on mitochondria isolated from rat liver and insect flight muscle
(1992)
This study was intended to investigate the effects of four
biologically active benzoquinones namely: maesanin, maesaquinone,
juglone and embelin on mitochondria isolated from rat liver and insect
flight muscle.
These ...
Solid-phase peptide syntheses of oxytocin, oxytocin analogs and interferon short chain with the amide side-chain functionality of asparagine protected with 1-tetralinyl group
(1998)
The aim of the project was to transform ketones to the amines, which were
then used as precursors in the carboxamide protection of asparagine and
glutamine side chains. Peptide resins of oxytocin, oxytocin analogs ...
Use of short tandem repeats to describe genetic variability in Anopheles Gambiae from three countries in Africa.
(1996-01)
Macrogeographic variation in An. gambiae was measured by
analysing four polymorphic STR loci in four populations by
electrophoresis on horizontal slab polyacrylamide gels. Mosquitoes
were sampled from inland (Asembo) ...
Comparative study of some biochemical factors in human erythrocytes exhibiting "early"and "delayed" re-infection to placimodium falciparum"
(1997)
Malaria remains themost important ofall tropical diseases.
Some 200 million individuals in 102 countries are at risk. Nearly
85% of the cases and 90% of the carriers are found in tropical
Africa. InKenya, out of a total ...
Identification of homologues of the cell cycle regulators in mature in vitro cultivated plasmodium falciparum gametocytes
(1996)
This study was designed to define putative homologues of known
eukaryotic cell cycle regulatory proteins in mature in vitro cultivated Plasmodium
Jalciparum gametocytes. Cultures of mature gametocytes (16 day-old) ...
Physical characterization of a trypanosoma (nannomonas) congolense metacylic-specific variable surface glycoprotein expression site
(1993)
Trypanosomes are unicellular protozoans that alter their hosts I immune response by
antigen variation; a process during which the trypanosome periodically switches the antigen
profile of the variable surface glycoprotein ...
