An experimental study of palaeosecular variation
(University of Nairobi, 1971-05-17)A total of 83 selected palaeomagnetic results are used in a latitude analysis of palaeosecular variation to show that Cox's 1970 model for secular variation fits the data, provided the dipole wobble is between 1 1/2° and ... -
Experimental transmission of Leishmania major to vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) by bites of Phlebotomus duboscqi (Diptera: Psychodidae).
(University of Nairobi.Department of Zoology, 1990-03)Experimental transmission of Leishmania major to vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) was accomplished by bites of Phlebotomus duboscqi sandflies. Three-day-old, laboratory-reared P. duboscqi were fed on leishmanial ... -
