The phlebotomine sandfly fauna (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Kenya.
(2011-12)
Visceral and cutaneous leishmaniases are endemic in some parts of Kenya, where they are transmitted by phlebobotomine sandflies of genus Phlebotomus. This review is a compilation of the currently known distribution of ...
Biology of the coconut bug Pseudotheraptus wayi on French Beans
(1999)
The coconut bug, Pseudotheraptus wayi Brown (Heteroptera: Coreidae), is a major pest of a
wide range of economically important crops in Eastern and Southern Africa. The suitability of
French beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L. ...
17. Evaluation of Immune Associated Cells in Lesions of L. Major Infected Vervet Monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops)
(1995)
Vervet monkeys were used to characterize immune associated cell types recruited into lesion sites as a result of experimental primary and secondary infections with Leishmania major. A heavy cellular infiltration consisting ...
Comparative field evaluation of the Mbita trap, the Centers for Disease Control light trap, and the human landing catch for sampling of malaria vectors in western Kenya
(2004)
The mosquito sampling efficiency of a new bed net trap (the Mbita trap) was compared with that of the Centers for Disease Control miniature light trap (hung adjacent to an occupied bed net) and the human landing catch in ...
Gonotrophic cycle duration, fecundity and mating behavior of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes in a dryland ecosystem in Baringo, Kenya
(2014)
An entomological longitudinal survey was carried out over a 22 month period in two semi-arid villages in
Baringo District in Kenya to study how adult malaria vectors survive under semi-arid conditions and during
extended ...
Effect of puparia incubation temperature: increased infection rates of Trypanosoma congolense in Glossina morsitans centralis, G. fuscipes fuscipes and G. brevipalpis
(1992)
Puparia of Glossina morsitans centralis (Machado), G.fuscipes fuscipes (Newstead) and G.brevipalpis (Newstead) were incubated at 25 +/- 1 degrees C, 28 +/- 1:25 +/- 1 degrees C, day:night or 29 +/- 1 degrees C throughout ...
Development of an exposure-free bednet trap for sampling Afrotropical malaria vectors
(2002)
An exposure-free bednet trap (the 'Mbita trap') for sampling of Afrotropical malaria vectors was developed during preliminary studies of mosquito behaviour around human-occupied bednets. Its mosquito sampling efficiency ...
