Assessment of antibiotic potentials of insect antibacterial factors
(University of Nairobi., 1989-06)
Immune haemolymphs from the giant silkmoth, Hyalophora cecropia and, to a lesser extent, from the tsetse, Glossina morsitans morsitans possess antibacterial activities against several species of bacteria known to be ...
Fecundity and survival of tsetse maintained on immunized rabbits
(University of Nairobi., 1982-09)
Female Glossina morsitans morsitans maintained on rabbits previously immunized with whole tsetse body (WTB), engorged tsetse guts (ETG) or gravid tsetse uteri (GTU) for three successive generations showed no increase in ...
Cellular And Humoral Defenses Of Glossina (diptera: Glossinidae): Reactions Against Bacteria, Trypanosomes, And Experimental Implants
(Uniiversity of Nairobi., 1986-01)
Bacillus cereus was more pathogenic than Escherichia coli to Glossina morsitans morsitans (Diptera: Glossinidae) when injected into the hemocoel. Bacteria were phagocytosed by individual hemocytes, and small hemocyte clumps ...
Infection of Amblyomma variegatum with a hymenopteran parasitoid in the laboratory and some aspects of its basi biology
(University of Nairobi., 1984)
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 ...
Haemocytes of Glossina—I. Morphological classification and the pattern of change with age of the flies
(University of Nairobi., 1981)
Three morphological classes of haemocytes (prohaemocytes, plasmatocytes and granulocytes) were observed in the haemolymph of Glossina morsitans morsitans and G. pallidipes. In addition to the three types, a category of ...
