Impact of mosquito-proofing houses upon mosquito entry as well as investment and motivation by householders
(Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi, 2009)The quality of housing has been shown to influence malaria transmission, which in most African settings, takes place at home with around 80% occurring indoors. Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes are usually nocturnal, endophilic ... -
Modeling potential impact of climate change on Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and Cowpea (Vigna inguiculatas growth and performance under different tillage and cropping systems in semi-arid areas of Eastern Kenya
(Department of land resource management and agricultural technology, faculty of agriculture university of Nairobi, 2012)Crop models can be used to assess risk associated with climate change and variability. The output can be more useful to farmers if the process involves their input. This study was hinged on a participatory concept and ... -
