A nested PCR assay exhibits enhanced sensitivity for detection of Theileria parva infections in bovine blood samples from carrier animals
(2010)
Theileria parva causes East Coast fever, an economically important disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. We describe a nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) assay for the detection of T. parva DNA in cattle blood ...

The FT - IR and Malarial Biological Studies of Copper(II ) Complexes Containing Thiosemicarbazone and Semicarbazone Ligands Derived from Ferrocene and Pyridyl Fragments
(University of Nairobi, 2010-03)
The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic and malarial biological studies of complexes derived from the reactions of 2- acetylferrocenyl 4-phenylthiosemicarbazone, 2-acetylferrocenyl-4-methylthiosemicarbazone, ...
Seasonal-to-Interannual Climate Variability in the Context of Development and Delivery of Science-based Climate Prediction and Information Services Worldwide for the Benefit of Society
(2010)
Examples of seasonal-to-interannual rainfall variability in Africa demonstrate how the society is under serious threat due to increasing natural disasters linked to climate variability and change. Recognition of the different ...
Thermal Shock Resistance of a Kyanite-Based (Aluminosilicate) Ceramic
(Society for Experimental Mechanics, 2010)
This paper presents the results of a combined
experimental and theoretical study of microstructure and
thermal shock resistance of an aluminosilicate ceramic.
Shock-induced crack growth is studied in sintered ...
Abundance anddiversity of bacillus subtilis andplant parasitic nematodes affecting common bean (phaseolus vulgaris) under different soil fertility management systems
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
Plant parasitic nematodes cause an estimated US$100 billion in damage to agricultural crops
worldwide and the most studied natural enemies of nematodes are bacteria and fungi. This study
sought to evaluate the influence ...
The Mainstreaming of Climate Change and Variability Information into Planning and Policy Development for Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
The economies of Africa, however, are predominantly dependent on rainfed agriculture and the associated industries. Current and future sustainable socio-economic development of the African nations will therefore heavily ...
