Genotypic variations in field isolates of Theileria species infecting giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi and Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) in Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Biochemistry, 2013-10)Recently, mortalities among giraffes, attributed to infection with unique species of piroplasms were reported in South Africa. Although haemoparasites are known to occur in giraffes of Kenya, the prevalence, genetic diversity ... -
Molecular detection and characterization of potentially new Babesia and Theileria species/variants in wild felids from Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Biochemistry, 2012-10)Piroplasms frequently infect domestic and wild carnivores. At present, there is limited information on the occurrence and molecular identity of these tick-borne parasites in wild felids in Kenya. In 2009, a pair of captive ... -
Transcriptional profiling of inflammatory cytokine genes in African buffaloes (Syncerus caffer) infected with Theileria parva
(University of NairobiDepartment of Biochemistry, 2012-08)Theileria parva (T. parva) causes East Coast fever (ECF), which is of huge economic importance to Eastern and Southern African countries. In a previous bovine model, inflammatory cytokines were closely associated with ... -

Breeding Cycle of Thalamita crenata (Latreille, 1829) at Gazi Creek (Maftaha Bay), Kenya
(2002)Thalamita crenata (Latreille, 1829) is a crustacean decapod that occurs in inter- and sub-tidal environments in the main water channels of the eastern Africa coast. The sandy pools at Gazi creek are areas for artisanal ... -
Instrument-based distortions of leaf/air temperature differences and interpretations of bean drought stress resistance
(1988)The adaxial leaf temperatures of 3 cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris and 1 cultivar of Tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) were measured from 0600 to 1800 hours. 2 instruments having different measurement principles were ... -
The application of phenology to agroforestry research.
(1990)The collection, analysis and display of appropriate phenological information is discussed, with emphasis on woody perennials. Phenological information is readily obtained by observing the expression of phenological activities ...
