Serodiagnosis of bovine cysticercosis by detecting live Taenia saginata cysts using a monoclonal antibody-based antigen-ELISA
(2002)An ante mortem antigen-ELISA-based diagnosis of Taenia saginata cysticercosis was studied in artificially (n = 24) and naturally (n = 25) infected cattle with the objective of further validating the assay as a field ... -
Analysis of post-mortem diagnosis of bovine cysticercosis in Kenyan cattle
(2003)A total of 55 cattle divided into two groups of experimentally (n =30) and naturally (n = 25) infected animals were used to study the reliability of meat inspection methods in Kenya. Total dissection method was used ... -
Comparison of the survival of Theileria parva-infected adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Acari: Ixodidae) and their infection under simulated climate conditions in the laboratory and in the field
(2006)Five groups of adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neumann, with an average of 98 Theileria parva-infected salivary gland acini per tick, were exposed to four different temperature conditions in the laboratory or to ... -
Access, sources and value of new medical information: views of final year medical students at the University of Nairobi
(Faculty of Medicine, University of Nairobi., 2009-01)Summary Objectives To evaluate final year medical students' access to new medical information. Method Cross-sectional survey of final year medical students at the University of Nairobi using anonymous, self-administered ... -
The effect of temperature on the rate of transmission of Theileria parva parva infection to cattle by its tick vector, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
(1988)A steer was infected with Theileria parva parva Kilae stabilate; nymphal Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks were applied to its ears so that they completed repletion when the steer had a high piroplasm parasitaemia. The ... -
Survival of Theileria parva-infected adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus under laboratory and quasi-natural conditions
(Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 2003)Adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Muguga, having high or low intensities of Theileria parva Muguga infection in their salivary glands, were exposed to 20 degrees C and 85% relative humidity in the laboratory or quasi-natural ... -

Screening for Theileria parva secretory gene products by functional analysis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 2000) -
Comparison of the transmission of Theileria parva between different instars of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
(1996)The transmission of Theileria parva by nymphal and adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus was compared by the assessment of salivary gland infections in tick batches fed on the same group of infected cattle at the same time. ... -
Spectral analysis of the vertical gradient of the total magnetic field anomalies due to two-dimensional dykes
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1985) -
Estimation of heritability of susceptibility to infection with Theileria parva in the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
(1995)Heritability of susceptibility to infection with Theileria parva was estimated from full sib families of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks. Male and female ticks of 2 stocks were mated singly. Nineteen full sib families ... -
Saturation effects on collision broadened rotational lines
(Department of Physics , University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1976)Saturation effects on a three‐dimensional rigid rotator are studied as an extension to several previous works by Gross and the author. The solutions which are obtained for the Karplus–Schwinger (K–S) and the Gross–Lebowitz ... -
Survival of Theileria parva in its nymphal tick vector, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, under laboratory and quasi natural conditions
(2003)Groups of nymphal Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Muguga, having a mean of 1 or 9 Theileria parva Muguga-infected salivary gland acini per tick, were kept under quasi-natural conditions at an altitude of 1950 m or 20 degrees ... -
Vector competence of 7 rhipicephalid tick stocks in transmitting 2 Theileria parva parasite stocks from Kenya and Zimbabwe
(1998)The competence of 7 different stocks of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and R. zambeziensis to transmit 2 different stocks of Theileria parva was compared by feeding nymphae of each tick stock simultaneously on infected cattle ... -
An attempt to separate the long and short range forces by Gaussian method
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, 1979)In the study of phase transition problems, short range forces (SRF) play a dominant role. A constructive and rigorous study of the effects of short range forces has yet to be given. It is suggested in the present paper ... -
The effect of vaccinating S. mansoni-infected BALB/c mice either before or after treatment
(2006)In Schistosoma mansoni endemic areas, there are people with ongoing S. mansoni infection, others have been infected and treated while others have never been infected. What would happen if these different groups of people ... -
Kenya Women in Physics: Societal, Cultural, and Professional Challenges
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, 2008-10)In this paper we give an overview of the challenges Kenyan women physicists face in their educational and career engagements as a result of social‐cultural stigma, cultural prejudices, and balancing family and work demands. ... -
Two relaxation time model for orientational motion of molecules in a gas reservoir
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya, 1976)A classical treatment of a two relaxation time model is presented, and it is shown from a solution of the general initial value problem that the Debye relaxation rate is equal to the rate of angular momentum relaxation. -
Spatial Distribution of Suspended Particulate Matter in Mtwapa Creek and Funzi Bay, Kenya
(2004)Surface water concentrations of inorganic nutrients and suspended particulate matter (SPM) components from Mtwapa and Shirazi creeks in Kenya were measured and compared. This was aimed at assessing the contribution of ...
