Bovine serum components in Cysticercus bovis
(University of Nairobi, 1985)
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for livestock hydatidosis based on a partially purified thermo-stable antigen.
(1990)
A total of 227 livestock sera including: 68 sera from cattle (35 from cattle with hydatid cysts at post-mortem inspection and 33 from cattle with no hydatid cysts); 80 sera from sheep (25 with hydatid cysts and 55 without); ...
An evaluation of the applicability of crossed immunoelectrophoresis in seroepidemiological studies of hydatid disease in livestock.
(1986-12)
Hydatidosis is both an economic and public health problem all over the world. Although various tests have been used on serodiagnosis of the disease in laboratory infected sheep, there is a problem in detecting antibody to ...
Effects of three nematode anthelmintic treatment regimes on flock performance of sheep and goats under extensive management in semi-arid Kenya
(1997)
A study was undertaken in a semi-arid area of Kenya between August 1991 and June 1993 to evaluate the effects of anthelmintic treatment using ivermectin before or during the rains, on performance of mixed sheep and goat ...
Serological diagnosis of hydatid disease by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using partially purified hydatid cyst fluid antigens
(1986-12)
Experimentally, two hydatid cyst fluid (HCF) antigens (antigens 4 and 5) were found to be the most immunogenic antigens in HCF. The two antigens were precipitated together from HCF. This was done by adding 2M phosphotungstic ...
Development and survival of infective larvae of gastrointestinal nematodes of cattle on pasture in central Kenya
(1998)
On a series of pasture plots, 2 kg pats of bovine faeces containing known numbers of strongylid (Haemonchus, Cooperia, Oesophagostomum and Trichostrongylus) eggs were deposited at intervals of 4 weeks from July 1995 to ...
Evaluation of the indirect haemagglutination test (IHA) in diagnosis of Taenia saginata cysticercosis (Cysticercus bovis) infection in cattle.
(1980)
hree protein fractions, F1, F2 and F3, were obtained from antigens prepared from mature Taenia saginata. Using the IHA test, crude antigen and F1 consistently gave high titres with sera from calves experimentally infected ...
