Brewers' spent grain in adsorption of aqueous Congo Red and malachite Green dyes: Batch and continuous flow systems.
(University, 2019)
Sorption of Congo Red (CR) and Malachite Green (MG) dyes currently used in pigments and clothing industries were investigated using brewers' spent grain (BSG) from a local brewery. Adsorption increased with a higher adsorbent ...
A search for snail-related answers to explain differences in response of Schistosoma mansoni to praziquantel treatment among responding and persistent hotspot villages along the Kenyan shore of Lake Victoria
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Following a four-year annual praziquantel treatment campaign the resulting prevalence of S. mansoni was seen to differ among individual villages along the Kenyan shore of Lake Victoria. We have investigated possible inherent ...
Assessment of the prevalence of Theileria lestoquardi in sheep from the Sudan using serological and molecular methods.
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Malignant theileriosis of sheep and goats caused by Theileria lestoquardi is considered to be among the most important tick borne diseases in the Sudan. Information on the prevalence of the disease in different parts of ...
Theileriosis in Mountain Bongo Repatriated to Kenya: a Clinical and Molecular Investigation.
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Mountain bongo (Tragelaphus euryceros isaaci) from Kenya were exported to zoological institutions in North America and Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. In the following 20-30 years bongo numbers declined in Kenya and the ...
Regeneration-Competent and -Incompetent Murids Differ in Neutrophil Quantity and Function
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Regeneration is rare in mammals, but spiny mice (Acomys spp.) naturally regenerate skin and ear holes. Inflammation is thought to inhibit regeneration during wound healing, but aspects of inflammation contribute to both ...
Biopiracy Versus One-world Medicine–from Colonial Relicts to Global Collaborative Concepts
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Background
Practices of biopiracy to use genetic resources and indigenous knowledge by Western companies without benefit-sharing of those, who generated the traditional knowledge, can be understood as form of ...
Electronically Divergent Triscyclometalated Iridium (Iii)2-1-naphthyl)pyridine Complexes and Their Application in Three Component Methoxytrifluoromethylation of Styrene.
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
A systematic study of the photophysical and electrochemical properties of triscyclometalated homoleptic iridium(III) complexes based on 2-(1-naphthyl)pyridine (npy) ligands is presented. A systematic investigation of ligand ...
Two Lignans Derivatives and Two Fusicoccane Diterpenoids From the Whole Plant of Hypoestes Verticillaris (L.f.) Sol. Ex Roem. & Schult
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Bioassay-guided screening of Hypoestes verticillaris whole plant CH2Cl2:MeOH (1:1) extract for anti-plasmodial activity yielded four new compounds: two lignans 2, 6-dimethoxysavinin (1), 2,6-dimethoxy-(7E)-7,8-dehydrohel ...

Curcumin-based photosensitization inactivates Aspergillus flavus and reduces aflatoxin B1 in maize kernels.
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Different methods have been applied in controlling contamination of foods and feeds by the carcinogenic fungal toxin, aflatoxin, but nevertheless the problem remains pervasive in developing countries. Curcumin is a natural ...
