DifiFerentiation of Vector Species of Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Kenya by Chorionic Sculpturing of Their Eggs
(Entomological Society of America, 1992)
Chorionic sculpturing on eggs of Phlebotomus pedifer Lewis, Mutinga, and Ashford; the closely related Phlebotomus aculeatus Lewis, Minter, and Ashford (=P. elegonensis Ngoka, Madel, and Mutinga); and Phlebotomus martini ...
Evaluation of pine woolly aphid damage to Pinus patula and its effect on yield in Kenya
(1978)
It is reported in this further paper on the damage caused by Pineus pini (Gmel.) to Pinus patula in Kenya [see preceding abstract] that reduction in the elongation of the needles and stems occurs only after crown damage ...
Effect of Temperature and Season on Food-transmission Activity of Three Ant Species as Shown by Radioactive Tracers
(1971)
Investigations into the effect of temperature and seasonal changes on the food-transmission activities of three ant species (Formica polyctena, Lasius niger and Myrmica ruginodis) using radioactive P32were carried out at ...
Ecology of Echinometra mathaei (Echinoidea: Echinodermata) at Diani Beach, Kenya
(1971)
Studies were carried out on the inner and outer coral reefs at Diani Beach on the Kenya coast to assess the distribution, density and behaviour of Echinometra mathaei (de Blainville). Transects 1 m wide were run on the two ...
Occurrence of Simulium (Edwardsellum) damnosum s.l. (Diptera: Simuliidae) in nine river systems in Kenya
(1986)
Six river systems in Kenya were found to harbor Simulium damnosum Theobald s.l. Two CDC light traps, during 12-h overnight collections at the Isiukhu and Nzoia rivers, caught 3 and 116 adult S. damnosum s.l., respectively. ...
Population dynamics of pine woolly aphid, Pineus pini (Gmelin) (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), in Kenya
(1980)
The population dynamics of Pineus pini (Gmel.) was examined in two locations in the Kenya Highlands where the mean annual precipitation ranges from 620 to 1400 mm. Variations in population densities were related to rainfall. ...
Effect of the cassava green mite, Mononychellus progresivus, on the development and reproduction of the introduced predatory mite, Phytoseiulus longipes (Acari: Tetranychidae; Phytoseiidae), at different temperatures
(© 2012 Systematic & Applied Acarology Society, 2012-11)
The cassava green mite (CGM), Mononychellus progresivus Doresta allowed for a limited development of the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus longipes Evans at three experimented temperatures. When the predators were confined with ...
Typhlodromalus aripode leon (acari: phytoseiidae) development and reproduction on major cassava pests at different temperatures and humidities: an indication of enhanced mite resilience
(2014)
Both prey type and abiotic conditions limit performance of phytoseiid predators. The exotic predatory
mite, Typhlodromalus aripo developed and reproduced when maintained on eggs and active stages of the cassava ...
Management of cassava green mite Mononychellus progresivus (Acari: Tetranychidae) in different agro-ecological zones of Kenya
(2015)
The cassava green mite (CGM), Mononychellus progresivus Doreste, causes serious leaf damage on cassava
leading to low root yield in the dry savanna regions of Africa. A study to compare effectiveness of the predatory
phytoseiid ...
