Genetic Variation Within Two Sympatric Spotted Gum Eucalypts Exceeds Between Taxa Variation
(2007)
Population substructure and hybridization, among other factors, have the potential to cause erroneous associations in linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping. Two closely related spotted gum eucalypts, Corymbia variegata and ...

(University of Nairobi Press, 2009)
This handbook has been prepared for clinical veterinary students and veterinary practitioners. The aim is to provide the reader with a set of standard annotations covering the basics of general pre-surgical materials and ...
Effects of xylazine on acid-base balance and arterial blood-gas tensions in goats under different environmental temperature and humidity conditions
(University of Nairobi, 2000)
The effects of acute exposure to 3 different temperature and humidity conditions on arterial blood-gas and acid-base balance in goats were investigated after intravenous bolus administration of xylazine at a dose of 0.1 ...
Some clinical features of osteoarthritis in the hip joints of adult dogs in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2005)
This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of 95% ethyl alcohol in PAIR technique. Animals naturally infected with Echinococcus were randomly divided into two groups. In the test group, cysts (n=7) were punctured, ...
Genetic variation for tolerance to low soil nitrogen (N) in common beans (Phaseolus vulgaries L.)
(2003)
Low soil nitrogen is an important biophysical constraint to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in East and Central Africa. An average of 660 kg N ha-1 has been lost during the last 30 years from about 200 million ...
African wildlife policy: protecting wildlife herbivores on private game ranches
(2000)
In large parts of Africa, wildlife herbivores spill over onto private lands, competing with domestic livestock for forage resources. To encourage private landowners to take into account the externality benefits of wildlife, ...
Development, Survival and Availability of Gastrointestinal Nematodes of Sheep and Pastures in a Semi-arid Area of Kajiado District of Kenya
(2004-08)
A study was carried out on a ranch in the semi-arid area of Kajiado District in Kenya during the period July 2000 to June 2001 to determine the seasonal patterns of development and survival of gastrointestinal nematodes ...
Seasonal patterns of gastrointestinal nematode infections in sheep in a semi-arid Kajiado District of Kenya
(2006)
The seasonal patterns of trichostrongylid nematode infections in Dorper yearlings in a semi-arid area of Kajiado District, Kenya were investigated by analysis faecal egg output, herbage infectivity and post-mortem worm ...
Multiple anthelmintic resistance on a sheep farm in Kenya and its implication for helminth control
(2007)
The occurrence of anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep on a farm in Kabete, Kenya was investigated between October 2005 and March 2006 when an outbreak of acute and fatal helminthosis occurred ...
The effect of weather on the occurrence and magnitude of periparturient rise in trichostronglyid nematode egg output in Dorper ewes in a semi-arid area of Kajiado District of Kenya
(2006-07)
An investigation was carried out to assess the effects of weather on the occurrence and magnitude of the periparturient rise (PPR) in trichostrongylid nematode egg output in breeding Dorper ewes. The study was conducted ...
