Linkage disequilibrium between alleles at highly polymorphic mini- and micro-satellite loci of Theileria parva isolated from cattle in three regions of Kenya
(2006)
Theileria parva schizont-infected lymphocyte culture isolates from western, central and coastal Kenya were analysed for size polymorphism at 30 T. parva-specific variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci using a panel of ...
Anti-plasmodial Activities Of Flavonoids From Erythrina Sacleuxii
(University of Nairobi, 2006-02)
The acetone extracts of the root bark and stem bark of Erythrina sacleuxii showed antiplasmodial activities against the chloroquine-sensitive (D6) and chloroquine-resistant (W2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Chromatographic ...
Diversity of lepidopteran stem borers on monocotyledonous plants in eastern Africa and the islands of Madagascar and Zanzibar revisited.
(University of Nairobi, 2006)
Surveys were completed in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zanzibar to assess the lepidopteran stem borer species diversity on wild host plants. A total of 24,674 larvae belonging to ...

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa, with the largest freshwater fishery in the world. There are nine main affluent river basins (Sio, Nzoia, Yala, Nyando, Sondu-Miriu, Awach, Kuja, Mara, and Kagera), and one surface ...
Ecologists can enable communities to implement malaria vector control in Africa
(2006)
Integrated vector management (IVM) for malaria control requires ecological skills that are very scarce and rarely applied in Africa today. Partnerships between communities and academic ecologists can address this capacity ...
Distribution of applied cadmium in different size fractions of soils after incubation
(2006)
The size fraction of soils is one of the important
factors that influence the retention of heavy metals. The
sorptive properties of soils for heavy metals are principally
associated with clay and silt-size fractions. ...

African lake management initiatives: The global connection
(2006)
There is a global dimension to lake management in Africa and elsewhere that will require a concerted action not only from
individual riparian states, but also from regional, continental and global communities. The current ...
