A novel 57-kDa merozoite protein of Babesia gibsoni is a prospective antigen for diagnosis and serosurvey of canine babesiosis by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(Department of Public Health Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2007)We isolated a novel single copy gene encoding a 57-kDa merozoite protein of Babesia gibsoni (BgP57). The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA was 2387 bp with an open reading frame (ORP) of 1644 bp encoding a 57-kDa predicted ... -
Novel Characteristics Of African Streptococcus Infantarius Subsp. Infantarius Potentially Responsible For The Predominance Over Other Lactic Acid Bacteria In Spontaneously Fermented Camel Milk
(University of Nairobi, 2010)Streptococcus infantarius subsp. infantarius, a pathogenic species of the Streptococcus bovis/ Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC), was unexpectedly found to be predominating in spon-taneously fermented East-African ... -
A novel strategy for the identification of antigens that are recognised by bovine MHC class I restricted cytotoxic T cells in a protozoan infection using reverse vaccinology.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 2007-02)BACKGROUND: Immunity against the bovine protozoan parasite Theileria parva has previously been shown to be mediated through lysis of parasite-infected cells by MHC class I restricted CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes. It is ... -
Novel Streptococcus infantarius subsp. infantarius variants harboring lactose metabolism genes homologous to Streptococcus thermophilus
(Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Technology, University of Nairobi, 2012-08)Streptococcus infantarius subsp. infantarius belongs to the Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) commonly associated with human and animal infections.

Nuclear ribosomal DNA diversity of a cotton pest (Rotylenchulus reniformis) in the United States
(2008)The reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) has emerged as a major cotton pest in the United States. A recent analysis of over 20 amphimictic populations of this pest from the US and three other countries has shown ... -
Nuclear ribosomal pseudogenes resolve a corroborated monophyly of the eucalypt genus Corymbia despite misleading hypotheses at functional ITS paralogs
(Science Direct, 2007)Divergent paralogs can create both obstacles and opportunities for phylogenetic reconstruction. Phylogenetic relationships among eucalypt genera have been incongruent among datasets in previous studies, where morphological ... -
