Cerebellar parameters in developing 15 day rat pups treated with propylthiouracil in comparison with 5 and 24 day old
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Vetinary Anatomy and physiology, 2001)ETHODS: Propylthiouracil (PTU) was fed to rat dams during mating, pregnancy and nursing and their pups in drinking water. Consequently hypothyroxinemia was induced in the dams and the developing foeti during prenatal ... -
The Influence Of Corm Source, Age And Size On Growth And Flowering Of Liatris Spicata L.
(University of NairobiDepartment of crop science, 1983)The influence of corm source, age and size on growth and flowering of Liatris spicata L. ov. Gloriosa (Gay feather) was studied. Adequately cold-treated 2, 4, and 6 months old corms were used. Equal numbers of vegetatively ... -
Genetic variation in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill sp.) in response to successive cycles of water stress
(Department of Plant Science and Crop Protection, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1994)Four pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill sp.] cultivars were studied during two cycles of development of water stress and recovery. During these two cycles the genetic variation in vegetative development, leaf water ... -
The distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus serotypes in Kenyan seafish, shellfish, marine water and sediment
(Department of Veterinary Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, University of Nairobi, 1982)Vibrio parahaemolyticus was recovered from 74 of 912 marine samples screened for the organism. Of 74 isolates of V. parahaemolyticus obtained from marine fish, crustacean shellfish (prawns, lobster, crabs), and molluscan ... -
Control of Taenia saginata by post-mortem examination of carcasses
(Department of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology,, 2003)A study to curb transmission cycle of a zoonotic Taema cestodiasis between humans and cattle is presented. To evaluate the reliability of meat inspection procedure in detecting carcasses of cattle with T. saginata ... -
Characterization of Kenyan isolates of Fusarium udum from pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] by cultural characteristics, aggressiveness and AFLP analysis
(2002)Isolates of Fusarium udum from pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) plants with wilt symptoms were collected from various districts in Kenya and were characterized using cultural characteristics, aggressiveness and amplified fragment ... -
Pathogenesis of Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) infections: Interactions of the virus with peripheral bovine blood cellular components
(Department of Veterinary Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, University of Nairobi, 1979)Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) is believed to reach the placenta via the hematogenous route as the virus has been recovered from the blood buffy coat cells of experimentally infected cattle. However, the manner in which the ... -
Current Stereological Methods and Tools for Simple Quantification of Biological Structure: A short Review
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Vetinary Anatomy and physiology, 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 ... -

Trypanosomiasis and the conservation of black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) at the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, Tsavo West National Park, Kenya
(Department of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1992)Tsetse populations and trypanosome infections were monitored at the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary to assess the impact of trypanosomiasis on rhinoceros. High densities of Glossina pallidipes were found near a permanent spring by ... -
The Effect of Pruning at Different Heights on Yields, Dry Matter Production and Partitioning in Clonal Tea (Camellia Sinensis) in Kenya
(University of NairobiCrop Science Department, University of Nairobi, 1985)Dry matter production and partitioning in old clonal tea bushes pruned and maintained at different heights were investigated. New tissues (leaves, new branches and small roots) consti- tuted a small fraction of the total ... -

Role of plasmids in the virulence of enteric bacteria
(Department of Veterinary Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, University of Nairobi, 1997)Plasmids have been shown to play an important role in the pathogenecity of most enterobacteria. Their involvement in various enterobacteria was discovered at different times and there is resemblance in the type of toxins ... -

The effect of GA3-application on growth and flowering of liatris
(University of NairobiDepartment of crop science, 1983)The effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) on breaking corm-dormancy, growth and flowering of Liatris spicata L. cultivar ‘Gloriosa’ (gay-feather) was investigated. GA3 could be substituted for the cold requirement in breaking ... -
Identification of the species origin of fresh meat using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure
(University of NairobiDepartment of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology,, 1982)A modification of indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been successfully applied to the detection of horse meat and beef. This technically simple assay requiring species specific antibody, conjugated ... -
