Seasonal variation in the prevalence of malaria and vector species in Northern Namibia
(©2012 Academic JournalsSchool of biological sciences, 2012-08)The prevalence of malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum and the abundance of malaria vector species were studied in selected areas of northern Namibia during the wet and the dry seasons. Female mosquitoes were collected ... -
Seasonal variations of phytoplankton species in Lake Victoria and the influence of iron and zinc ions on the dominant species identified during 2006–2007 studies
(2013)The current study was conducted for 2 years (2006 and 2007) during January, April and September to investigate seasonal variations in biological parameters and planktonic biodiversity observed at four sampling sites (MRM, ... -
Seasonal-to-Interannual Climate Variability in the Context of Development and Delivery of Science-based Climate Prediction and Information Services Worldwide for the Benefit of Society
(2010)Examples of seasonal-to-interannual rainfall variability in Africa demonstrate how the society is under serious threat due to increasing natural disasters linked to climate variability and change. Recognition of the different ... -

Seasonality of some species ofGracilaria (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) from Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1993)Studies on the seasonality of 5Gracilaria species (G. corticata, G. crassa, G. millardetii, G. salicornia, G. verrucosa) were carried out. The seasonal abundance of the various species varied with time and geographical ... -
Secondary bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance among tungiasis patients in Western, Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Tungiasis or jigger infestation is a parasitic disease caused by the female sand flea Tunga penetrans. Secondary infection of the lesions caused by this flea is common in endemic communities. This study sought to shed light ... -

Seismic Contributions of the Kenyan Rift Valley
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, 1994)The past and the present understanding of the deep lithospheric structures beneath the Kenyan Rift Valley is reviewed and the results of the long-range explosion seismic experiment are discussed. A sill like intrusive body ... -
Seismic hazards in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2013)The East African Rift System (EARS), and by extension the Davie Ridge, which is considered as the seaward extension of eastern branch (Kenya Rift Valley) of the East African Rift Valley (Mougenot et al., 1986), are ... -
Seismic images illustrate the deep roots of the Chyulu Hills volcanic area, Kenya
(1995)A recent delay time tomography experiment has revealed the still ongoing processes that formed the East African Rift, the world's largest continental rift system. These new data have been used to produce tomographic images ... -
