Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi antibodies in Kenya
(1995)The distribution of Salmonella typhi, S. paratyphi A. and S. paratyphi C. agglutinins among 364 sera from a randomly selected group of healthy individuals in Nairobi and Naivasha (Kenya) were analysed in relation to ... -
Agglutinins for Brucella antigens in blood sera of an urban and a rural population in Kenya
(1996)The antibody titres for Brucella arbotus and Br. melitensis in 364 sera from healthy individuals in Nairobi and Naivasha are presented. A majority (96%) had no detectable agglutinins. Reactivity was markedly higher in the ... -
Nitrogenase activity in the papyrus swamps of Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(1992)Nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction activity) was found to occur universally in the Cyperus papyrus swamp in Lake Naivasha. Low rates of acetylene reduction activity (0.9–104.9 nmol C2H4 g d.wt. roots-1 h-1) were ... -
Strategies for Maintenance and Improvement of Soil Productivity Under Continuous Maize and Beans Cropping System in the Sub-humid Highlands of Kenya: Case Study of the Long-Term Trial at Kabete
(2012)Inappropriate soil management practices are cited as the main causes of soil fertility decline of cultivated lands in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Small-scale farmers are faced with daunting challenges and limited opportunities ... -
Some physiological studies of diazotrophic bacteria associated with maize in a temperate and a tropical soil In:Nitrogen fixation with Non-legumes
(1998)Previous studies on Azospirillum spp. (Day and Dobereiner, 1976) and Klebsiella oxytoca isolated from wheat roots in Turkey (Cakmacki et al., 1981) indicated little activity below 24°C and high activity at 30–40°C In this ... -
