Purification and properties of the low molecular weight protein from haemolymph of the tsetse fly, glossina morsitans morsitans
(Facult of Science, University of Nairobi, 1990)Tsetse fly is an insect of great economic importance to man because it transmits sleeping sickness to both man and his livestock. The insect feeds on a bloodmeal thereby transmitting the disease from infected to healthy ... -
Purification, Physicochemical And Functional Characterisation Of Glossina Morsitans Centralis Fibrinolysins."
(University of Nairobi, 1987)Tsetse flies are blood-sucking insects. The ability to keep their blood meal in an anticoagulated state by means of anticoagulant(s), fibrinogenase(s), fibrinolysin(s) or plasminogen activator-like activities is essential ... -
Pyroclastic rocks as a tool to evaluate geothermal systems in the Kenyan Rift valley
(University of NairobiGeology, 2011)Pyroclastic rocks when studied keenly would be a big boost to identifying the geothermal system of a targeted area and better still a geothermal prospecting tool in potential regions, even before other surface investigations ... -
Qpen Source Spell Checker For Bukusu Dialect
