Studies On The Development And Survival Of Rhiphicephalus Pulchellus And Amblyomma Gemma Under Field Condition In Ethiopia
(University of Nairobi., 2001)
Protection of Metarhizium anisopliae conidia from ultra-violet radiation and their pathogenicity to Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi ticks
(University of Nairobi., 2008-12)
Metarhizium anisopliae conidia were formulated in water or in olive oil containing 3% commercial sunscreens (Everysun or E45 Sun Block 50) and exposed to an artificial UV source for up to 5 hours. Survival of conidia after ...
Performance of a prototype baited-trap in attracting and infecting the tick Amblyomma variegatum (Acari: Ixodidae) in field experiments
(University of Nairobi., 2006)
Investigations were commenced to study the potential use of the fungi, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and the attraction-aggregation-attachment pheromone (AAAP) for the control of Ambloyomma variegatum as an ...
The potential for antitick plants as components of an integrated tick control strategy
(University of Nairobi., 2004)
Prevalence of ixodid ticks and trypanosomosis in camels in southern rangelands of Ethiopia
(University of Nairobi., 2004)
The prevalence of ixodid ticks and trypanosomosis of camels was studied in the semi-arid rangelands of southern Ethiopia between 1995 and 1996. A total of 24077 ticks were collected from 510 camels aged between 6 months ...
Effects of combining the fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhiziumanisopliae on the mortality of the tick Amblyomma variegatum (ixodidae) in relation to seasonal changes
(University of Nairobi., 2005-06)
The effect of formulation, fungal concentration, type and seasonal changes on the mortality of the tick Amblyomma variegatum was investigated. A previous study demonstrated high pathogenicity of strains of the fungi Beauveria ...
The potential for antitick plants as components of an integrated tick control strategy
(University of Nairobi., 2000)
Extracts from various African plants have been shown to possess strong acaricidal and/or tick repellent properties. Some of the plant extracts are capable of reducing tick feeding, molting, fecundity, and viability of eggs. ...
Laboratory Evaluation of Pathogenicity of Entomogenous Nematodes to African Tick Species
(University of Nairobi., 2000)
Five strains of entomogenous nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsæ strains DD, Mexican, SR, and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora strains 1S5 and HP88, were tested for their pathogenicity to various developmental stages of five ...
Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Entomogenous Fungi for Tick Control
(University of Nairobi., 2000-12)
Aqueous and oil-based formulations of two entomogenous fungi, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliæ were tested for their efficacy against the three major species of African ticks; namely, Amblyomma variegatum, ...
