Propagation of some endangered indigenous trees from the South Nandi District of Kenya using cheap, non-mist technology
(School of Biological Sciences, 2008)Vegetative propagation studies were carried out at Maseno University, Kenya in the year 2004 and 2005 using stem cuttings on three endangered indigenous tree species namely Asystasia schimperi, carissa edulis and Toddalia ... -
Properties of a factor in eland plasma that inhibits transformation of bloodstream-form Trypanosoma brucei brucei
(2001)Fresh plasma from the African eland, Taurotragus oryx, contains a factor that inhibits the transformation of bloodstream-form Trypanosma brucei brucei into procyclic (midgut) forms. Heating of the plasma at 42, 50 and 60 ... -
Properties of constants for a quadrature formula to evaluate Bromwich’s integral.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 1976)Further analytical and empirical properties of the weights and abscissae of a quadrature formula for evaluating Bromwich's integral are described. These are then used to determine the parameters which ensure that a set of ... -

Prospects of using tick parasitoids (Insecta) for tick management in Africa
(University of Nairobi.School of Biological Sciences, 1997)Since the first report of tick parasitoids by Howard (1907), sevens pecies belonging to the genus Ixodiphagus have been described. Apart from a few parasitoid releases in the USA and Europe in the first third of the century, ... -
Protection of Metarhizium anisopliae conidia from ultra-violet radiation and their pathogenicity to Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi ticks
(University of Nairobi.School of Biological Sciences, 2008-12)Metarhizium anisopliae conidia were formulated in water or in olive oil containing 3% commercial sunscreens (Everysun or E45 Sun Block 50) and exposed to an artificial UV source for up to 5 hours. Survival of conidia after ... -
