Identification of spiroplasmainsolitum symbionts in anopheles gambiae.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Background: Insect symbionts have the potential to block the transmission of vector-borne diseases by their hosts. The advancement of a symbiont-based transmission blocking strategy for malaria requires the identification ... -
Identification of trypanosomes in Glossina pallidipes and G. longipennis in Kenya.
(School of Biological Sciences, 2004-03)The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify trypanosomes in Glossina pallidipes and G. longipennis caught in Kenya. Of 3826 flies dissected, 188 (4.9%) were parasitologically positive overall. The infection ... -
Identification of widespread pollution in the Southern Hemisphere deduced from satellite analyses
(University of Nairobi, 1991)Vertical profiles of ozone obtained from ozonesondes in Brazzaville, Congo (4°S, 15°E), and Ascension Island (8°S, 15°W) show that large quantities of tropospheric ozone are present over southern Africa and the adjacent ... -
Identifying human and livestock sources of fecal contamination in Kenya with host-specific Bacteroidales assays.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2009-11)Microbial source tracking to distinguish between human, livestock and wildlife fecal pollution using molecular techniques is a rapidly evolving approach in many developed countries, but has not previously been applied on ... -
Identity and authentication Model for Bring your own Device in Organizations
(University of Nairobi, 2020)The use of personal mobile devices for work related assignments and vice versa has become a common trend in business today. With escalated developments in technology, there has been a significant shift on how organizations ... -
IFN-gamma and delayed-type hypersensitivity are associated with cutaneous leishmaniasis in vervet monkeys following secondary rechallenge with Leishmania major.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Zoology, 1992)IFN-gamma levels and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses were evaluated in vervet monkeys, following secondary infection with Leishmania major (L. major). The animals had previously been vaccinated with leishmanial ... -
Image Fusion and Evaluation of Geological Disaster Based on Remote Sensing
(2014)The investigation of geological disaster in our article locates in southern Australia, which is characterized by wide range, high relief, inaccessibility and other unfavorable factors. Multi-spectral ETM+ and SPOT 5 pan ... -
Immunization of cattle against East Coast fever using Theileria parva (Marikebuni) and relaxation of tick control in North Rift, Kenya
(Department of Chemistry, 2001)A total of 90 animals was immunized against East Coast fever (ECF) using Theileria parva (Marikebuni) stock on three large-scale farms in Kiminini Division, Trans-Nzoia District, North Rift, Kenya. Another 90 cattle served ... -
