Infectra(®)-kit: a device for restraining mice and confining tsetse flies during trypanosome infection transmission experiments
(Elsevier, 2013)
Chemical (anaesthesia) and manual techniques are commonly used to restrain mice during vector-mediated parasite transmission experiments in the laboratory. Chemical restraint may interfere with natural fly vector-mouse ...
Patterns of seed dispersal and establishment of the invader Prosopis juliflora in the upper floodplain of Tana River, Kenya
(African Journal of Range and Forage Science, 2011)
Invasive species in Africa have important impacts on food security and biodiversity conservation. African floodplains in arid areas are critical wildlife habitats in addition to crop production and dry season livestock ...
Plant Species Diversity and Composition of Two Wetlands in the Nairobi National Park, Kenya
(Asian Journal of Wetlands Ecology, 2012)
Two wetlands (Hyena and Nalogomon) in the Nairobi National Park were investigated by comparing plant composition in and around their immediate vicinity. The most common aquatic plant species in the Hyena wetland was Cyperus ...
Invasive Plant Species and Biomass Production in Savannas
(InTech: Biomass and Remote Sensing of Biomass, 2011)
Savannas are the second largest biome accounting for c. 30% of terrestrial production. Tropical savannas are distributed largely in Africa, Australia and South America occurring between tropical ...
Pharmacology of DB844, an orally active aza analogue of pafuramidine, in a monkey model of second stage human African trypanosomiasis
(PLOS, 2012)
Novel drugs to treat human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) are still urgently needed despite the recent addition of
nifurtimox-eflornithine combination therapy (NECT) to WHO Model Lists of Essential Medicines against second ...
Diamidines for human African trypanosomiasis
(Thomson Reuters, 2010)
Aromatic diamidines are potent trypanocides. Pentamidine, a diamidine, has been used for more than 60 years to treat human African trypanosomiasis (HAT); however, the drug must be administered parenterally and is active ...
Food Availability and Household Dietary Diversity in Ruiri-rwarera Area of Meru County in Kenya
(Science and Education Publishing, 2019)
Food security broadly encompasses availability, accessibility and utilization of food. Household dietary diversity that relies on the number of food groups consumed over a given period has previously been used to measure ...
Extension of Shelf-life by Limited Duration of Propylene and 1-MCP Treatments in Three Kiwifruit Cultivars
(The Japanese Society for Horticultural Science, 2016)
In order to extend the “eating window”, the optimum ripening phase suitable for eating, the combination of
treatment with propylene (an ethylene analog) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP; an ethylene inhibitor) was
assessed ...
Effect of MA Storage and 1-MCP on storability and quality of ‘Sanuki Gold’ kiwifruit harvested at two different maturity stages
(The Japanese Society for Horticultural Science, 2011)
The effects of modified atmosphere (MA) storage and application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) at harvest
on the storability and quality of ‘Sanuki Gold’ kiwifruit harvested at two different maturity stages were
investigated. ...
Characterization of ethylene biosynthesis and its regulation during fruit ripening in kiwifruit, Actinidia chinensis ‘Sanuki Gold’
(Elsevier, 2010)
Ethylene biosynthesis in kiwifruit, Actinidia chinensis ‘Sanuki Gold’ was characterized using propylene, an ethylene analog, and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an inhibitor of ethylene perception. In fruit harvested between ...
