IDENTIFICATION OF PREDISPOSING FACTORS TO AFLATOXIN CONTAMINATION OF MAIZE VALUE CHAIN IN EASTERN KENYA
(Uiversity of Nairobi, 2013)Maize is the staple diet of majority of Kenyan population but repeated outbreaks of mycotoxin poisoning in Eastern Kenya is a major food safety constraint. This study was conducted to determine maize production and ... -
Identification Of Resistance Sources To Wheat Stem Rust From Introduced Genotypes In Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Stem rust Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici of wheat is the most important disease in Kenya. Emergence of race Ug99 and other variants virulent to host resistance genes including Sr31 has rendered 95% of Kenyan cultivars ... -
Identification of Selected Actinomycete Isolates and Characterization of Their Antibiotic Metabolites
(Department of Plant Science and Crop Protection, University of Nairobi, 2008)Three antagonistic actinomycetes coded as 14P, 28P and CS35 were isolated from the soil and identified based on morphological, physiological and color formation on Czapeks Dox agar, inorganic salt starch agar and glycerol ... -
Identification of smallholder farmers and pastoralists' preferences for sheep breeding traits: choice model approach.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Animal Production, 2011-12)Identification of breeding objective traits pertinent to specific production environments with the involvement of target beneficiaries is crucial to the success of a breed improvement program. A choice experiment was ... -
Identification of suitable parents and temperatures for breeding Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato virus X (PVX) resistant potatoes
(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), National Potato Research Centre (NPRC), TigoniUniversity of Nairobi, Department of Plant Science and Crop Protection, 2011)Mixed infection of Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato virus X (PVX) together with other potato viruses have the potential of causing yield losses of up to 80 % in the major varieties grown in Kenya. In search for suitable ... -
Identification of the species of origin of fresh, cooked and canned meat and meat products using antisera to thermostable muscle antigens by ouchterlony's double diffusion test.
(Department of Public Health, pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Nairobi, 1986)Antisera to thermostable muscle antigens (TMA) from 14 species of bovidae were raised in goats and/or sheep. To achieve species specificity the antisera were absorbed with serum from the other species. While the absorbed ... -
Identification of the species origin of fresh meat using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure
(University of NairobiDepartment of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology,, 1982)A modification of indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been successfully applied to the detection of horse meat and beef. This technically simple assay requiring species specific antibody, conjugated ... -
Identification of Secreted Antigen 3 from Babesia gibsoni
(Department of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2009)A cDNA expression library of Babesia gibsoni was screened with the serum collected from a dog experimentally infected with B. gibsoni. A novel antigen sharing homology with secreted antigen 1 of B. gibsoni was isolated. ... -

Immunisation of cattle against heartwater by infection with Cowdria ruminantium elicits T lymphocytes that recognise major antigenic proteins 1 and 2 of the agent.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 2002-02)There is growing evidence that immunity of cattle to Cowdria ruminantium infection is mediated by T lymphocytes. C. ruminantium antigens that stimulate these responses are therefore of considerable importance to the ... -
Immunisation of goats against contagious caprine pleuropneumonia using sonicated antigens of F-38 strain of mycoplasma
(University of Nairobi, 1984)Three groups of 15 goats each were immunised against contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) using sonicated antigens of the F-38 strain of mycoplasma incorporated in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA), emulsified in ... -
Immunoaffinity chromatography and a biotin-streptavidin amplified enzymeimmunoassay for sensitive and specific estimation of estradiol-17 beta.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Animal Physiology, 1990-02)A sensitive test system has been developed for estimation of estradiol-17 beta (E2) in bovine plasma. Plasma extracts are first purified by a selective immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) using an antibody raised against ... -
Immunoassay and polymerase chain reaction techniques for detection of enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus
(Department of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 2005)To compare the Reverse Passive Latex Agglutination (RPLA) and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) techniques with a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for detection of enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus. A cross-sectional ... -

Immunogenicity of zona pellucida vaccines.
(Department of Public Health, pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Nairobi, 1996)Development of zona pellucida (ZP) based contraceptive vaccines raises a number of complications that challenge current immunological capabilities. Our research examines two aspects of these immunological problems. First, ... -
Immunohistochemical localization of retroviral‐related antigens expressed in normal baboon placental villous tissue
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Vetinary Anatomy and physiology, 2011-09)Abstract: Endogenous retroviral particles (ERVs) have been detected in the genome of all eukaryotes. They are generally non-pathogenic except in mice where they have been found to induce tumors and immunological disorders. ... -
Immunohistological confirmation of a diagnosis of rinderpest from a recent natural outbreak
(Department of Veterinary Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, University of Nairobi, 1990)Diagnosis of an outbreak of rinderpest in cattle, in which attempts to isolate the virus in tissue culture were unsuccessful, was confirmed with the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. -
Immunohistological demonstration of antigenicity of the various endogenous stages of Eimeria apsheronica in goats.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 1994)Ten naive goat kids obtained soon after birth were reared coccidia-free in cages indoors. At one month of age they were each infected with 25,000 oocysts of E. apsheronica. Infection was monitored by examining the faeces ...
