Effects of bacteria, antibacterial compounds and trypanosomes on tsetse reproduction and longevity
(University of Nairobi., 1987-04)
Haemocoelic injections of live Escherichia coli and oral administration of three tetracycline compounds, namely Reverin, Maxitet and Terramycin to female Glossina morsilans morsitans prior to their first larviposition, ...
Insect immunity: Induction of cecropin and attacin-like antibacterial factors in the haemolymph of Glossina morsitans morsitans
(University of Nairobi., 1987)
Injections of live Escherichia coli into adult tsetse flies, Glossina morsitans morsitans induced an antibacterial activity in the haemolymph after a lag period of 6–18 hr. Peak activity occurred after 24–72 hr with a dose ...
Three-stage group screening with unequal group sizes and with errors in observations
(1987)
In this paper three-stage group screening in which group-factors contain differing number of factors is discussed. A procedure for grouping the factors in the absence of concrete prior information is described. Formulas ...
Tolerance of Kenyan Schistosoma mansoni to oxamniquine.
(University of Nairobi,, 1987)
Although 30 mg/kg oxamniquine produced high levels (85.5 to 99.5%) of egg reduction in Kenyan children infected with Schistosoma mansoni after a single oral treatment, cure rates from children at Mwea in Kirinyaga district ...
Leishmania major: the suitability of East African nonhuman primates as animal models for cutaneous leishmaniasis.
(University of Nairobi., 1987-12)
The susceptibility of four species of East African nonhuman primates to experimental infection with Leishmania major was investigated. Four Syke's monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis), two vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops), ...
