Characterization of body louse midgut proteins recognized by resistant hosts.
Ochanda James O.; Mumcuoglu, K Y; Ben-Yakir, D; Okuru, J K; Oduol, V O; Galun, R (Department of Biochemistry, 1996)The human body louse, Pediculus humanus, showed eighteen midgut proteins ranging between 12 and 117 kDa, when analysed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Seven of them (12 kDa, 17 kDa, 29 kDa, 35 kDa, 40 kDa, 55 kDa and 97 kDa) ... -
Immunization of rabbits with faecal extract of Pediculus humanus, the human body louse: effects on louse development and reproduction
Mumcuoglu, K Y; Ben-Yakir, D; Ochanda James O.; Miller, J; Galun, R (Department of Biochemistry, 1997)Immunization of rabbits with a faecal extract of the human body louse (Pediculus humanus) induced a high titre of specific IgG. The mean weight of blood taken by females fed on the immunized rabbits was significantly lower ... -
Inhibition of bloodmeal digestion in glossina morsitans fed on rabbits immunized with tsetse midgut homogenate
Olembo, N K; Nguu, E K; Ochanda James O.; Ochieng, V O (Department of Biochemistry, 1994)The efficacy of bloodmeal digestion in teneral Glossina morsitans centralis fed on rabbits immunized with tsetse fly midgut extracts was progressively monitored over a period of 96 hours. Flies fed on immunized rabbits ... -
Partial characterisation of a trypanosome-lysing factor from the midgut of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria
Ogoyi, D O; Achieng, D; Nguu, E K; Ochanda James O. (Department of Biochemistry, 2003)OBJECTIVE: Screening and biochemical characterisation of trypanosome-lysing factor (trypanolysin) from non-vector insect, Schistocerca gregaria. DESIGN: Laboratory based experiment. SETTING: Department of Biochemistry, ... -
Temporal synthesis of cuticle proteins during larval development in Glossina morsitans
Ochieng, V O; Osir, E O; Ochanda James O.; Olembo, N K (Department of Biochemistry, 1993)Larval development in Glossina species occurs in utero with the mature third instar larva being deposited after a developmental period of 7 days. 2. In this study, the patterns of cuticular protein synthesis during larval ...
