Bulletin of animal Health and production in Africa
(University of Nairobi., 1977)
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 ...
Pathogenicity of Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Serratia marcescens to the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus
(Uniiversity of Nairobi., 1993)
Two exotic fungal isolates, one of Beauveria bassiana (268–86) and another of Metarhizium anisopliae (100–82), three local isolates of B. bassiana (isolates I, II, III) and one of the entomogenous bacteria Serratia marcescens, ...
Prospects for biological control of livestock ticks, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Amblyomma variegatum, using the entomogenous fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae
(University of Nairobi., 1996-01)
Both Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae induced approximately 30% mortalities in adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus feeding on rabbits while M. anisopliae induced a mortality of 37% in adult Amblyomma variegatum. ...
Mortality and pathology in tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) treated with Neem extracts
(University of Nairobi., 1996)
Lectins in the brown ear tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus: detection and partial characterization
(University of Nairobi., 1998)
Lectins (agglutinins) were detected and isolated from the hemolymph and gut of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, the vector of Theileria parva, using various vertebrate red blood cells (RBC). Although the hemolymph lectin ...
Infection of Amblyomma variegatum with a hymenopteran parasitoid in the laboratory and some aspects of its basi biology
(University of Nairobi., 1984)
Natural and experimental infection of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus with pathogens and their potential for control of ticks
(University of Nairobi., 1995)
