Development of improved method for isolation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis from bulk tank milk: Effect of age of milk, centrifugation, and decontamination
(Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 2005)Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne’s disease in cattle and it has been suggested that this organism may be associated with Crohn’s disease in humans. Cows at the advanced ... -
Use of SNP genotyping to determine pedigree and breed composition of dairy cattle in Kenya
(University of Nairobi.Department of Animal Production, 2010-10)High levels of inbreeding in East African dairy cattle are a potential concern because of use of a limited range of imported germplasm coupled with strong selection, especially by disease, and sparse performance recording. ... -
Genetic variation in the predacious mite, Amblyseius swirskii ( Acari: Phytoseiidae): Analysis of specific mitochondrial and nuclear sequences.
(University of NairobiSchool of Biological and Physical Sciences, 2004)Patterns of polymorphism of two DNA fragments with contrasted modes of evolution, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA), were used to study population structure and taxonomy of the predacious mite, ... -
