(IJMR, 2017)
Abstract Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic disease that occurs sporadically in form of outbreaks and is transmitted by diverse mosquito species in different geographic regions. Knowledge on diversity, distribution and ...
Diffuse PAR irradiance under clear skies in complex alpine terrain
(Elsevier, 2004)
The diffuse component of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is important for models that calculate carbon dioxide uptake in photosynthesis by vegetation. Few PAR measurements are usually available, especially in ...

(JOOUST, 2023)
Black ants, Carebara vidua (Smith) is of critical value both in nutrition and medicine in Kenya. The insect is relatively widespread in the country; however, knowledge regarding its geographical distribution range and ...
Malaria vector species distribution and seasonal population dynamics across varied ecological zones in Baringo County, Kenya
(Journal of Mosquito Research, 2017)
Vector populations fluctuate on a seasonal basis annually. Knowledge on seasonal abundance and distribution of vector species at the local level would improve vector control programmes and contribute to malaria prevention. ...
