Four promising antigens, BgP32, BgP45, BgP47, and BgP50, for serodiagnosis of Babesia gibsoni infection were classified as B. gibsoni merozoite surface protein family
(2012)We determined the molecular characteristics of four proteins, BgP32, BgP45, BgP47, and BgP50, of Babesia gibsoni. Localization by subcellular fractionations followed by Western blotting revealed that the corresponding ... -
Transmissible Venereal Tumor with Subcutaneous and Bone Metastasis in a Dog
(Department of Clinical Studies, 2006)A five year old entire mixed breed dog was admitted to the University of Nairobi's small animal clinic with a 5-months history of subcutaneous masses. Physical examination revealed firm and mobile masses in the subcuticular ... -
Protective effect of a prime-boost strategy with plasmid DNA followed by recombinant adenovirus expressing TgAMA1 as vaccines against Toxoplasma gondii infection in mice
(2012)A heterologous prime-boost strategy with priming plasmid DNA followed by recombinant virus expressing relevant antigens is known to stimulate protective immunity against intracellular parasites. In this study, we have ... -

Changes In Plasma And Erythrocyte Sodium And Potassium Concentrations In Dairy Heifers During Starvation
(University of NairobiFaculty Of Veterinary Science, 1990)The effects of starvation on plasma and erythrocyte Na and K concentrations were determined in a group of 10 heifers over a period of 40 hours. Both the plasma and erythrocyte K concentrations decreased during starvation. ... -

Ampicillin Resistance And Extended Spectrum Β-lactamases In Enterobacteriaceae Isolated From Raw And Spontaneously Fermented Camel Milk
(University of NairobiDepartment of Food Science Nutritin and Technology, 2012)The prevalence of ampicillin resistance and extended-spectrum β-lactamases(ESBL)in the dominant Enterobacteriaceae from raw and spontaneously fermented camel milk (suusac) in Kenya and Somalia was characterized both ... -
The effects of Gibberellin 4+7 on the Vase life and Flower Quality of Alstroemeria Cut flowers
(University of NairobiCollege of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, 2006)Leaf yellowing is a major problem in Alstroemeria and absence of leaf senescence symptoms is an important quality attribute. Two Alstroemeria cultivars ‘Yellow King’ and ‘Marina’ were sourced from a commercial farm and ... -
Reaction of Potato Cultivars to Natural Infestation of Late Blight Caused by Phytophthora infestans in Kenya
(University of NairobiCollege of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, 2008)The late blight resistance and yield characteristics of 32 potato genotypes were studied at KARI-Tigoni between 2006 and 2007 under natural late blight inoculums pressure. Foliar late blight resistance was assessed on the ... -
Effect of Thidiazuron, NAA and BAP on in vitro propagation of Alstroemeria aurantiaca cv. Rosita from shoot tip explants
(University of NairobiDepartment of Plant Science and Crop Protection, University of Nairobi, 2010)The objective of the study was to evaluate the potency of Thidiazuron (TDZ) as a plant growth regulator when compared to combined auxin (NAA) and cytokinin (BAP) in evoking morphogenic responses from Alstroemeria aurantiaca ... -
Babesia gibsoni: Identification of an immunodominant, interspersed repeat antigen
(2008)In this report, an immunodominant antigen called BgIRA from Babesia gibsoni is identified and described. A highly repetitive antigen was screened from a cDNA library. The genomic BgIRA gene exists as single cope gene and ... -
Effect of food deprivation during early pregnancy on endocrine changes in primiparous sows
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1996)The effect of food deprivation during early pregnancy on maternal plasma endocrine levels and on embryonic survival was studied in primiparous sows. Twelve cross-bred (Swedish Yorkshire × Swedish Landrace) primiparous sows ... -
Characterization of the Babesia gibsoni 12-kDa protein as a potential antigen for the serodiagnosis
(2009)A novel gene, BgP12, encoding a 12-kDa protein was identified from Babesia gibsoni. The full-length cDNA of BgP12 contains an open reading frame of 378 bp, corresponding to 126 amino acid (aa) residues consisting of a ... -
Cold Storage and Flower Keeping Quality of Cut Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum L.).
(University of NairobiCollege of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, 2011)This study was carried out to investigate suitable postharvest storage and simulated shipment procedures for Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum L.) cut flowers. The post-storage performance of cut flowers was significantly ... -
