Estimated Economics of theileriosis control in Africa.
(Elsevier B.V., 1992)Theileriosis, caused by the parasite Theileria parva, leads to considerable economic losses in cattle in Burundi, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia and Zimbabwe. These losses have ... -
Protozoan infections and HIV-1 infection: a review.
(PubMed, 1992)Reactivation of latent infection is the principal mechanism relating Toxoplasma gondii and Pneumocystis carinii to HIV. Less common is reactivation in Leishmania donovani, Trypanosoma cruzi, and microsporidian infections. ... -
Bancroftian filariasis in Kwale District of Kenya. I. Clinical and parasitological survey in an endemic community
(PubMed, 1994-04)A cross-sectional parasitological and clinical survey for Wuchereria bancrofti infection was carried out in an endemic community of south-eastern Kenya, to obtain background epidemiological information for detailed serological ... -
yphim Vi vaccine against typhoid fever: A clinical trial in Kenya
(PubMed, 1995)Safety, tolerance and immunogenicity of the purified Vi polysaccharide vaccine (Typhim Vi) against typhoid fever was evaluated in primary school children aged 5-15 years. A total of 435 children were vaccinated, each with ... -
Bancroftian filariasis in Kwale District of Kenya. III. Quantification of the IgE response in selected individuals from an endemic community.
(PubMed, 1995)One hundred and sixty-two individuals from a community in Kwale District, Kenya, endemic for bancroftian filariasis, were selected for a study on the IgE response to filarial antigen (prepared from adult Brugia pahangi). ... -
Collection and evaluation of Kenyan tomato landraces with special reference to salt and drought tolerance
(AGRIS, 1995)The tomato is a major vegetable species in Kenya. By providing salt and drought tolerant varieties, their productivity in the marginal areas of Kenya could be significantly improved. The aim of this work was to collect ... -
Generalized characteristics of intense rainfall and peak discharges in Athi basin, Kenya
(JSHWR Committee on Editorial and Publication Affairs, 1995)Presented in this paper is a study clarifying any distinctions or similarities in trends of extreme value statistics of rainfall and discharges recorded at stations sampled all over a basin traversing three distinct climatic ... -
Diversity of Rhizobia Nodulating Phaseolus vulgaris L. in two Kenyan soils with contrasting pHs.
(American Society for Microbiology, 1995)Rhizobia were isolated from two Kenyan soils with pHs of 4.5 and 6.8 and characterized on the basis of their host ranges for nodulation and nitrogen fixation, colony morphologies, restriction fragment fingerprints, and ... -
Simulation of Daily streamflows for hydrologically large catchments in drainage area 3, Kenya
(Journal of Japan hydrology and water resources, 1995)Tank Model found to be suitable for predicting daily discharges of tropical subbasins identified as having pronounced sluggish runoff response due to basin storage effect is presented in this paper. Runoff response in the ... -
A modified tank model and applications in some river basins in Kenya
(Journal of japan hydrology and water resources, 1996)Modified Tank Model which explicitly simulates surface runoff is proposed in this paper. The surface flow as applied here refers to the flow which travels through surface layer. The surface layer is considered as very ... -
Assessment of tolerance to salt stress in Kenyan tomato germplasm
(International Journal of Plant Breeding, 1997)Tomato is an important vegetable crop in Kenya and the development of salt tolerant cultivars would enhance its productivity in the vast marginal areas of the country. This study was aimed at determining the magnitude of ... -
Bacterial meningitis in children admitted in hospitals within Nairobi.
(PubMed, 1998)Four hundred and ninety nine children (aged between one month and five years) admitted with clinical features of meningitis were recruited in cross-sectional survey of bacterial meningitis in hospitals within Nairobi. ... -
Spot observation: advantages and disadvantages for household time use research
(Journal of Family and Economic Issues, 1998)The spot observation method of estimating time use is described in this article. Procedures for using this method in developing countries, where household activities are relatively easily observed, are contrasted with ... -
Bacterial meningitis in children admitted in hospitals within Nairobi.
(PubMed, 1998-02)Four hundred and ninety nine children (aged between one month and five years) admitted with clinical features of meningitis were recruited in cross-sectional survey of bacterial meningitis in hospitals within Nairobi. ... -
Competition in Kenyan soils between Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli strain Kim5 and R. tropici strain CIAT899 using the gusA marker gene
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998-07)The contribution of appropriate inoculum strains to more efficient nitrogen fixation by legumes has been difficult to assess due to the laborious nature of the assays involved in assessing establishment of inoculum strains ... -
An assessment of the economic impact of heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection) and its control in Zimbabwe.
(Elsevier B.V., 1999)Heartwater, caused by the rickettsial organism Cowdria ruminantium, is a serious constraint to livestock development in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Traditionally, the disease has been controlled by the use of chemical ... -
