Cytotoxic lupane-type triterpenoids from Acacia mellifera.
(2004)
One new and eight previously described lupane-type metabolites were isolated for the first time from Acacia mellifera (Leguminosae). Based on spectral analyses, the structure of the new compound was elucidated as ...
Identification of trypanosomes in Glossina pallidipes and G. longipennis in Kenya.
(2004-03)
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify trypanosomes in Glossina pallidipes and G. longipennis caught in Kenya. Of 3826 flies dissected, 188 (4.9%) were parasitologically positive overall. The infection ...
The interaction of Trypanosoma congolense and Haemonchus contortus infections in 2 breeds of goat: 2. Haematology
(University of Nairobi, 2004)
The red cell destruction rate was measured with [51Cr] isotope and the erythropoietic response in the femoral bone marrow was examined in 2 breeds of goat infected with T. congolense and H. contortus and compared with ...
Specific PCR assay for a tannin-tolerant selenomonas ruminantium isolate, derived from helicase coding sequences
(2004)
Sequences from a tannin-tolerant Selenomonas ruminantium isolate (EAT2) that hydrolyzes gallic acid were identified. Two exhibited identity to helicases with a wide phylogenetic distribution. PCR amplification by using ...

(University Of Nairobi, 2004)
Background: A study was carried out in a village of the mainland region of Equatorial Guinea in order to
ascertain a) which members of Anopheles gambiae complex could be involved in malaria transmission and
b) the rate ...
Towards sustainable reductions in indoor air pollution exposure in poor countries
(University of Nairobi, 2004)
Introduction: Indoor air pollution from use of biomass fuels in developing countries accounts for 1.6 million deaths and 2.6% of global burden of disease (WHO 2002). Reducing this exposure among poor, vulnerable populations ...
Coping with drought: Strategies to improve genetic adaptation of common bean to drought-prone regions of Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2004)
Impacts of greenhouse gas and particulate emissions from woodfuel production and end-use in sub-Saharan Africa
(2004)
Household energy in sub-Saharan Africa is largely derived from woodfuels burned in simple stoves
with poor combustion characteristics. These devices emit products of incomplete combustion [PICs] that both
damage human ...
