(African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2008)
This shade house study examined the effect of competition on the growth performance of cultivated (Oryza sativa) and wild (Oryza punctata) rice species in Kenya. Growth was assessed for the two ...
Ecological, socio-economic and livelihood differentiation of Kenya’s Lembus forest proximate communities: The case of the Tugen and Lembus. Anthropologist
(2009)
The Tugen and Lembus are indigenous communities found adjacent to the Lembus igenous forests. Other than these two communities, there are several others inhabiting this area the surrounding districts. The Lembus igenous ...
Efficacy of the novel diamidine compound 2,5-Bis(4-amidinophenyl)- furan-bis-O-Methlylamidoxime (Pafuramidine, DB289) against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection in vervet monkeys after oral administration
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
10 to 30 days to facilitate treatment with parenterally administered medicines. The efficacy of a novel orally administered prodrug, 2,5-bis(4-amidinophenyl)-furan-bis-O-methlylamidoxime (pafuramidine, DB289), was tested ...
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense transmitted by a single tsetse fly bite in vervet monkeys as a model of Human African Trypanosomiasis.
(PLOS, 2008)
We have investigated the pathogenicity of tsetse (Glossina pallidipes)-transmitted cloned strains of Trypanosoma brucei
rhodesiense in vervet monkeys. Tsetse flies were confirmed to have mature trypanosome infections by ...
Efficacy of the diamidine DB75 and its prodrug DB289, against murine models of human African trypanosomiasis
(Elsevier, 2008)
The choice of drugs for the treatment of sleeping sickness is extremely limited. To redress this situation, the recently synthesised diamidine, 2,5-bis(4-amidinophenyl)-furan (DB75, furamidine) and its methamidoxime prodrug, ...
A botanical inventory and diversity assessment of Mt. Marsabit forest, a sub-humid montane forest in the arid lands of northern Kenya

A botanical inventory and diversity of trees, shrubs (‡5cm diameter at breast height [dbh]), herbs, climbers and lianas was assessed in plots (154) of 20 · 5 m in Mt. Marsabit forest, northern Kenya. We recorded 52 species ...
Hematological changes in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) during eight months' adaptation to captivity
(American Journal of Primatology, 2007)
This study investigated fluctuations in hematological values of 50 wild-caught vervet monkeys (African green monkeys, grivets, Chlorocebus aethiops) during habituation to captivity. The monkeys were categorized into four ...
Haematology of experimental Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection in vervet monkeys
(African Journal of Health Sciences,, 2006)
Haematological aberrations associated with human infective trypanosomes were investigated in the vervet monkey model of the Rhodesian sleeping sickness. Four monkeys were infected intravenously with 104 Trypanosoma brucei ...
Development of a rodent model for late stage rhodesian sleeping sickness
(National Research Center for Protozoan Diseases, 2007)
A mouse model of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense that can be used in pathogenesis and drug studies for Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT) has so far not been developed. In an attempt to develop such a model, a study was ...
Lymphosarcoma in Adult African Green Monkeys (Chlorocebus Aethiops)
(Journal of Laboratory Animal Scienc, 2007)
The clinical observations and pathological manifestations of lymphosarcoma in two African green monkeys are described. Monkeys had been caught from the wild. Prior to the development of neoplasms one monkey had been ...
