Molecularand immunological characterization of Babesia gibsoni and Babesia microti heat shockprotein-70
(Department of Public Health Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2009)Serological immunoscreening was used to identify a gene encoding heat shock protein-70 from Babesia gibsoni (BgHSP-70) that showed high homology with HSP-70s from other apicomplexan parasites. This gene corresponded to ... -

Monitoring of Aphid Fauna in Passionfruit Orchards in Kenya
(University of NairobiPlant Science and Crop Protection department, 2013)Passionfruit woodiness disease viral pathogens limit passionfruit production and are non-persistently transmitted by aphid vectors. The study was conducted to identify aphid species and assess the population dynamics ... -
Monitoring of livestock health and production in sub-Saharan Africa
(University of NairobiDepartment of Public Health, 1995-12)We begin by stressing that relevant and adequate information is an essential ingredient of efficient decision-making processes aimed at optimising the performance of livestock enterprises. Such decisions are universally ... -
Monitoring Rain Fed Data In Order To Estimate Milk Production In Mweiga Location, Nyeri County, Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Dependence on natural pastures with little or no supplementation makes the dairy production systems among small scale farmers in the East African region vulnerable to seasonal weather variations, characterized by low ... -
Monoclonal antibodies identify two neutralization-sensitive epitopes in Besnoitia besnoiti endocytes
(Department of Veterinary Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, University of Nairobi, 2004)Four monoclonal antibodies were produced against endozoite membrane and cytoplasmic antigens of B. besnoiti. In immunofluorescence antibody tests, three of the clones, designated 2M3C5, 2M1G8 and 2M9G3 recognized antigens ... -
Monoclonal antibody binding to a surface-exposed epitope on Cowdria ruminantium that is conserved among eight strains.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 2000-11)Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) binding to Cowdria ruminantium elementary bodies (EB) were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and surface binding of one MAb (446.15) to intact EB was determined by ... -

Morphine induces aggression but not analgesia in the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber).
(University of Nairobi.Department of Animal Physiology, 1990)1. The antinociceptive effect in the mole-rat of morphine (1, 10, 20 or 30 mg/kg) and nefopam (10 or 20 mg/kg) was studied. 2. In the hotplate test, morphine had no analgesic effect. A reduced response latency after morphine ... -
Morphofunctional adaptations of the olfactory mucosa in postnatally developing rabbits
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy & Physiology, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, KenyaInstitute of Anatomy, University of Bern, CH-3000 BernInstitute of Veterinary Anatomy, Free University of Berlin, 2012)Rabbits are born blind and deaf and receive unusually limited maternal care. Consequently, their suckling young heavily rely on the olfactory cue for nipple attachment. However, the postnatal morphofunctional adaptations ... -
Morphogenesis of the foetal membranes and placenta of the root-rat (Tachyoryctes splendens (Rüppel))
(University of Nairobi, 1991)The morphogenesis of the foetal membranes and placenta of the root-rat Tachyoryctes splendens was studied by light microscopy. Implantation of the blastocyst is antimesometrial. The mode of implantation is secondary ... -

A morphological and morphometric study of the prosimian lung: the lesser bushbaby Galago senegalensis.
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1990)Among mammals, it is only in the order Primate that the extant members in fair measure present graded features approximating to the stages of the evolution from the early ancestral (prosimian) primates through to anthropoid ... -
Morphological And Physiological Changes During Thidiazuron-induced Somatic Embryogenesis In Geranium (pelargonium X Hortorum Bailey) Tissue Cultures
(University of NairobiPlant Science and Crop Protection, 1996)Somatic embryogenesis in geranium (Pelargonium x hortorum Bailey cv. 'Scarlet Orbit Improved') was achieved by culturing hypocotyls explantson media supplemented with either thidiazuron (TDZ) or indol-3-yl-acetic acid ... -
Morphological and Physiological Measurement of the Stay-Green Trait in Transgenic and Non-Transgenic Cassava under Green-House Water Stress Conditions
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Drought stress is the major abiotic factor that limits cassava productivity in many agro-ecological regions of sub-saharan Africa. In this study, stay-green trait in two transgenic cassava genotypes (transformed with ... -
Morphological and soil measurements for determining ecotypic variation in Trifolium tembense germplasm in the Ethiopian highlands
(1991)A study was initiated on selected populations of Trifolium tembense collected from the Ethiopian highlands. The species was an annual autogamous clover which is native to the African highlands. In the study, both plant and ... -
