Toxoplasma gondii: Sensitive and rapid detection of infection by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method
(2009)
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method amplifies DNA with high specificity, sensitivity and rapidity. In this study, we used a conserved sequence in the 200- to 300-fold repetitive 529 bp gene of Toxoplasma ...
Epididymal Epithelial Cell Involution Following a Single Intraperitoneal Administration of Ethane Dimethanesulfonate in the Goat (Capra hircus
(2001)
Ethane dimethanesulfonate (EDS) selectively destroys Leydig cells in rats and a few other smaller animal species but not in mice and quail. In the teleost fish, it stimulates testicular activity instead. It also causes ...
Controlled Polymerization of Substituted Diacetylene Self-Organized Monolayers Confined in Molecule Corrals
(2005)
We have shown that STM-tip-induced chain polymerization of 10,12-tricosadiynoic acid (TCDA) in a self-organized monolayer at the liquid−solid interface of TCDA on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite is possible. The oligomers ...
Massai indigenous Knowledge on Range vegetation analysis, Utilization and management
(2001)
A participatory vegetation inventory and research was conducted in Mashuuru Division, Kajiado District of Kenya, with an overall objective of capturing the indigenous knowledge of the Maasai pastoralist community on ...
Canine prostaglandin E2 synthase (PGES) and its receptors (EP2 and EP4): Expression in the corpus luteum during dioestrus
(2008)
In the dog CL are the only source of the progesterone in cyclic and pregnant animals. From a high expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox2) at the beginning of the dioestrus and a low one at the end it was suggested that ...
Effects of Neonatal High-Dose Short-Term Glucocorticoid Treatment on the Lung: A Morphologic and Morphometric Study in the Rat
(2003)
Glucocorticoids are often applied in neonatology and perinatology to fight the problems of respiratory distress and chronic lung disease. There are, however, many controversies regarding the adverse side effects and long-term ...
The Potential use of Plant Anthelmintics for the Control of Livestock Helminthoses in Kenya
(2004)
Helminthoses are a major constraint to livestock
production in Kenya. The control of these
infections by the use of synthetic anthelmintics is
constrained by a number of problems that
include; lack of foreign exchange ...
Incorporation of green manure plants into bean cropping systems contribute to root-knot nematode suppression
(2008)
Green manure plants were evaluated to determine their suitability as rotation crops with common bean to suppress root-knot (Meloidogyne spp.) nematodes. They were also evaluated as soil amendments in nematode control. The ...
Current Stereological Methods and Tools for Simple Quantification of Biological Structure: A short Review
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2004)
A statement like “the cells were more numerous” conveys little meaning unless numbers are attached to the observations. Fortunately, a set of general methods, known as stereology, may be used to quantify tissue structural ...
