Separation of Agromyzidae species and populations associated with legumes using discriminant analysis
(Cambridge University Press, 1998-03)
Agromyzidae populations occurring in legumes in Kenya were tested for speciation at host-type level and at the species level using discriminant analysis. Measurements were taken of various morphological characters of five ...
Frequency of antimicrobial resistance and plasmid profiles of Bacillus cereus strains isolated from milk.
(Kenya Medical Association, 1996)
Plasmid profile analysis and susceptibility to eight commonly used antimicrobial agents was done on sixty Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) strains isolated from milk. About seventy two percent (71.7%) of the isolates contained ...
Comparative evaluation of Cotesia flavipes and C. sesamiae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for the management of Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Kenya
(Cambridge University Press, 1999-02)
Cotesia flavipes Cameron, a gregarious larval endoparasitoid native to the Indo-Australian region, was imported from Pakistan and released in Kenya in 1993 for management of the exotic stemborer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe). ...
Diel activity pattern of the tsetse fly Glossina austeni Newstead (Diptera: Glossinidae) in the field and in the laboratory
(Cambridge University Press, 1993-12)
The diel activity patter n of Glossina austeni was studied on the south coast of Kenya, and in the laboratory. In the field, flies were sampled hourly by continuous catch from a standing vehicle, or by traps. In the ...
Proximity of Release Points of Pheromone Components as a Factor Confusing Males of the Spotted Stem Borer,Chilo Partellus, Approaching the Trap
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1994)
The effect of proximity of the release points of the two pheromone components (Z)-11-hexadecenal and (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol of the spotted stem borer,Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on behavior of the males and on ...
Visceral Leishmaniasis in Vervet Monkeys: Immunological Responses During Asymptomatic Infections.
(PubMed, 1995)
Nine vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) were infected intradermally with 8 x 10(7) virulent L. donovani promastigotes. Four animals developed clinical visceral leishmaniasis and died over a period of 18 months. The ...
Occurrence of Cystacanths of Polyacanthorhynchus Kenyensis Larvae (Acanthocephala) in Four Teleostean Fishes from a Tropical Lake, Lake Naivasha, Kenya.
(Folia Parasitologica, 1997)
From January 1992 to December 1993, a total of 2158 fish, namely Oreochromis leucostictus (Trewavas, 1983), Micropterus salmoides (Lacépède, 1802), Tilapia zillii (Gervais, 1848) and Barbus amphigrama (Boulenger, 1902) ...
Microgeographic Genetic Differentiation of Anopheles Gambiae Mosquitoes from Asembo Bay, Western Kenya: A Comparison with Kilifi in Coastal Kenya.
(PubMed, 1998-01)
Microgeographic differentiation in Anopheles gambiae from seven villages less than 10 km apart in Asembo Bay, western Kenya was estimated by analysis of variability in seven microsatellite loci. Results from the Asembo Bay ...
Abundance, population dynamics and impact of the leucaena psyllid Heteropsylla cubana Crawford in a maize-leucaena agroforestry system in Kenya
(Cambridge University Press, 1997-06)
We monitored abundance, population dynamics and damage impacts of the leucaena psyllid Heteropsylla cubana Crawford (Homoptera: Psyllidae) in a maize-leucaena agroforestry system. The abundance of local ladybird beetle ...
Densities of Prodiamesa olivacea (Neigen) (Diptera: Chironomidae) in a Second Order Stream, the Laan (Belgium): Relation to River Dynamics
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1992)
Larval densities ofProdiamesa olivacea were examined in the Laan stream for one year and matched against stream discharge and coarse organic detritus (COD) content of the sediments. The sediment grain size partitioning for ...
