Response of Plasmodium falciparum to dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors in Malindi, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1985)The response of Plasmodium falciparum isolates to dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors (DHFRI) was examined in Malindi, Kenya. All 20 infected children treated with pyrimethamine/sulphadoxine responded. In contrast, after ... -
Antagonism of sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine antimalarial activity in vitro by p-aminobenzoic acid, p-aminobenzoylglutamic acid and folic acid
(University of Nairobi, 1985-01)The activity of pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine against two strains of Plasmodium falciparum has been studied in vitro by a radioisotopic technique. Low level antagonism of pyrimethamine resulted from the inclusion of ... -

Using health provider insights to inform pediatric HIV disclosure: a qualitative study and practice framework from Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Optimal pediatric HIV disclosure impacts illness and developmental experiences while improving access to timely treatment. However, disclosure rates in high HIV prevalence countries remain low and there are limited data ... -
One-sided tests in shared frailty models
(University of Nairobi, 2007)Tests for the presence of heterogeneity in frailty models use an alternative hypothesis in which the heterogeneity parameter is subject to an inequality constraint. As a result, the classical likelihood ratio asymptotic ... -
Heterogeneity of Smooth Muscle Cells in Tunica Media of Aorta in Goat (Capra hircus)
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Knowledge of the characteristics of vascular smooth muscle cells is important in understanding physicomechanical properties, functions, mechanisms of development, remodelling, regeneration of blood vessels, development and ... -

Time-mortality response in Spodoptera exempta (Walk.) infected with heat-treated nuclear polyhedrosis virus.
(University of Nairobi, 1981)The susceptibility of third-instar larvae of Spodoptera exempta (Wlk.) to a heat-treated nuclear polyhedrosis virus was tested in the laboratory. The polyhedral suspension was purified by differential centrifugation and ... -
Dosage-mortality and time-mortality responses of the armyworm Spodoptera exempta to a nuclear polyhedrosis virus.
(University of Nairobi, 1981)Third-instar larvae of Spodoptera exempta (Wlk.) were fed on young maize leaves treated with 20 mu l of polyhedral inclusion body (PIB) suspension of concentrations that varied from 1.6 X 102 to 1.6 X 109 PIBs/ml. Daily ... -
