Influence of cyclophosphamide on the haematological profile of laboratory bred African soft-furred rats (Mastomys natalensis)
(2005)
The African soft-furred rat (Mastomys natalensis) has been shown to be a possible model for propagation of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. This study aimed at determining the baseline biological reference values and reproductive ...
Tree Layer Dynamics under Different Land Uses and Soils in Semi-Arid Areas of Kenya
(2002)
A study was conducted to characterize the main factors critical to the distribution of key wood species and quantify the effects of land use on the tree layer in a semi-arid area of Kenya. Units studied were small-scale ...
Proinflammatory cytokine expression in the early phase of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection in vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops)
(2004)
A vervet monkey model of trypanosomiasis was used to study inflammatory cytokine responses in serum and cerebrospinal fuid (CSF). Gamma interferon levels were transiently up-regulated in serum between days 6 and 8 of ...
A molecular phylogenetic reappraisal of the Hysteriaceae, Mytilinidiaceae and Gloniaceae (Pleosporomycetidae, Dothideomycetes) with keys to world species.
(PubMed, 2009)
A reappraisal of the phylogenetic integrity of bitunicate ascomycete fungi belonging to or previously affiliated with the Hysteriaceae, Mytilinidiaceae, Gloniaceae and Patellariaceae is presented, based on an analysis of ...
Parallel evolution of hysterothecial ascomata in ascolocularous fungi (Ascomycota, Fungi).
(The Natural History Museum, 2009-12-01)
Ascoma morphologies have traditionally been used to classify filamentous ascomycete fungi. Phylogenies generated using DNA sequence data have since shown most of the previously identified groups not to be monophyletic. The ...
Multigene phylogeny of the Coronophorales (ascomycota): morphology and new species in the order.
(PubMed, 2009)
The phylogenetic relationships within Coronophorales have been debated because of uncertainty over the taxonomic usefulness of characterisitics such as quellkörper, number of ascospore appendages, presence of subiculum and ...
A new species of Melanochaeta from Kenya
(Verlag Ferdinand Berger & Söhne Ges.m.b.H., 2008)
Melanochaeta taitensis is described as a new species from Kenya. It is distinguished from the other known species of Melanochaeta by having large, 3-septate, strongly curved ascospores. Phylogenetic analyses of nuclear 28S ...
Two new xylariaceous species from Kenya
(Mycotaxon, 2009)
A survey of wood rotting ascomycetes in Kenya produced taxa in Biscogniauxia and Kretzschmaria that did not match descriptions of any known species and are hereby described as new species. The species of Biscogniauxia ...
Two new genera in the Magnaporthaceae, a new addition to Ceratosphaeria and two new species of Lentomitella
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
Ceratosphaerella is described as a new genus for C. castillensis and C. rhizomorpha. The genus is related to Ophioceras but distinguished by ascomata with a basal stroma and shorter, fusiform ascospores. Muraeriata is ...
