Plant growth, water relations and transpiration of two species of African nightshade (Solanum villosum Mill. ssp. miniatum (Bernh. ex Willd.) Edmonds and S. sarrachoides Sendtn.) under water-limited conditions
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-09-11)
Solanum villosum is an important leafy vegetable in Kenya whose production faces low yields. Two potentially high leaf-yielding genotypes of S. villosum, T-5 and an octoploid have been developed. Field experiments were ...
Protracted environmental issues on a proposed titanium minerals development in Kenya’s south coast
(Taylor&Francis, 2006-02-24)
This study takes cognizance of the fact that the TIOMIN (TIOMIN Resources Inc of Canada) project has resulted in controversy over its handling of environmental issues and especially the Environmental Impact Assessment ...
The rate of outcrossing in grain Amaranths
(John Wiley, 2006-04-28)
Studies of intra specific and inter specific out crossing rates were carried out for grain amaranths using two populations of A. hypochondriacus (populations 1008 and 1024) and two populations of A. cruentus (populations ...
Filarial-specific antibody response in east African bancroftian filariasis: effects of host infection, clinical disease, and filarial endemicity
(The American Society of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2006)
The effect of host infection, chronic clinical disease, and transmission intensity on the patterns of specific antibody responses in Bancroftian filariasis was assessed by analyzing specific IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, and IgE ...
Accept ability of human immunodeficiency virustesting in patients with invasivecervical cancer in Kenya
(Int J Gynecol Cancer, 2006)
Invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is common in areas where human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is also prevalent. Currently, HIV seroprevalence as well as acceptability of HIV testing in ICC patients in Kenya is unknown. The ...
Plant growth, water relations and transpiration of two species of African nightshade (Solanum villosum Mill. ssp. miniatum (Bernh. ex Willd.) Edmonds and S. sarrachoides Sendtn.) under water-limited conditions
(Elsevier, 2006-09)
The adaptation to drought stress of two African nightshade species, Solanum villosum and S. sarrachoides was investigated in pot and field experiments between 2000 and 2002. Two genotypes of S. villosum (landrace and ...
Laboratory tests of oviposition by the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, on dark soil as influenced by presence or absence of vegetation
(BMC, 2006-10-12)
Background
Physical objects like vegetation can influence oviposition by mosquitoes on soil or water substrates. Anopheles gambiae s. l. is generally thought to utilize puddles over bare soil as its prime larval habitat ...
Malaria hotspot areas in a highland Kenya site are consistent in epidemic and non-epidemic years and are associated with ecological factors
(BMC, 2006)
Background
Malaria epidemics in highland areas of East Africa have caused considerable morbidity and mortality in the past two decades. Knowledge of "hotspot" areas of high malaria incidence would allow for focused ...
Secrets in stone
(Kenya Museum Society, 2006-01)
