Lectins in the brown ear tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus: detection and partial characterization
(University of Nairobi., 1998)
Lectins (agglutinins) were detected and isolated from the hemolymph and gut of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, the vector of Theileria parva, using various vertebrate red blood cells (RBC). Although the hemolymph lectin ...

(University of Nairobi., 1984)
Natural and experimental infection of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus with pathogens and their potential for control of ticks
(University of Nairobi., 1995)
Susceptibility of different breeds of goats in Kenya to experimental infection withTrypanosoma congolense
(Uniiversity of Nairobi., 1985)
To assess whether there was any evidence of genetic resistance to African trypanosomiasis, five breeds of goat (East African, Galla, and crossbreds between East African and Galla, Nubian or Toggenburg) were experimentally ...
Achieving sustainable food production in Africa: Roles of pesticides and biological control agents in integrated pest management
(University of Nairobi., 1994-04)
Food production in Africa is declining, while her population is increasing rapidly. Some factors responsible for low food productivity are mentioned; special attention is given to the problem of agricultural pests. The ...
Microorganisms associated with tsetse in nature: Preliminary results on isolation, identification and pathogenicity
(University of Nairobi., 1990-06)
Six genera of bacteria: Serratia, Providencia, Enterobacter, Aeromonas, Cedecea and Bacillus were isolated from field-collected G. pallidipes. Four genera: Serratia, Providencia, Enterobacter and Aeromonas were isolated ...
The use of entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, as bio-pesticides for tick control
(© International Scholars Journals, 2012-08)
This paper reports promising results on the use of entomopathogenic fungi for tick control. The aqueous formulations of the entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae isolate RS2 and Beauveria bassiana isolate NM2 ...
Parasitism of Amblyomma variegatum by a Hymenopteran Parasitoid in the Laboratory, and Some Aspects of Its Basic Biology
(University of Nairobi., 1994-06)
Unfed Amblyomma variegatum F. nymphs were experimentally infected in the laboratory with a hymenopteran parasitoid, Ixodiphagus hookeri (Howard). The parasitoid was originally obtained from ticks collected from cattle in ...
