A type IVB pili operon promoter controlling nucleocapsid gene expression of SARS-CoV in Salmonella elicits full immune response by intranasal vaccination
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007)
Attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar typhi have been implicated attractive as
potential live oral delivery vector vaccines because of their ability to elicit the full array
of immune responses in humans. In this study, ...
Spontaneous amyloidosis in twelve chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes
(Journal of Medical Primatology, 2001)
Spontaneous amyloidosis was diagnosed in 11 male and 1 female chimpanzees and confirmed histologically and immunohistochemically. The chimpanzees were ≥15 years of age when first diagnosed and averaged 22.4 years of age. ...
The Serum Glycoprotein Fetuin-A Promotes Lewis Lung Carcinoma Tumorigenesis via Adhesive-Dependent and Adhesive-Independent Mechanisms
(The Journal of Cancer research, 2005)
Fetuin-A is a serum glycoprotein in the cystatin family
associated with the regulation of soft tissue calcification. We
tested the role of systemic fetuin in tumor cell growth and
metastasis by injecting Lewis lung ...
Type IVB Pilus Operon Promoter Controlling Expression of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Associated Coronavirus Nucleocapsid Gene in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi Elicits Full Immune Response by Intranasal Vaccination
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007)
Attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi strains have been considered to be attractive as potential live oral delivery vector vaccines because of their ability to elicit the full array of immune responses in humans. ...
ALGAL TURF DOMINATES MOMBASA MARINE PARK AND RESERVE IN KENYA, AN IMPLICATION OF NUTRIENT POLLUTION
(Agris, 2008)
Mombasa Marine Park and Reserve is one of the Marine Protected Areas in Kenya
established more than ten years ago. The Park is a no-take-zone, while the Reserve is a
zone where regulated extractive uses such as artisanal ...
Repellency of essential oils of some plants from the Kenyan coast against Anopheles gambiae
(Elsevier B.V, 2005-05)
Volatile oils extracted by hydrodistillation from six plant species growing in the Kenyan coast, Croton pseudopulchellus Pax, Mkilua fragrans Verdc. (Annonaceae), Endostemon tereticaulis (poir.) Ashby, Ocimum forskolei ...
Isolation and identification of the genera Acetobacter and Gluconobacter in coconut toddy (mnazi)
(African Journal of Biotechnology, 2008)
This study investigated the occurrence and identified the dominant spoilage genera of acetic acid bacteria in coconut wine (mnazi), by plating the dilution series previously pre-enriched in a basal
medium onto GYP agar, ...
Uncovering the tracks of a recent and rapid invasion
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
Phytophagous insects of the genus Bactrocera are among the most economically
important invasive fruit fly pests. In 2003, an unknown Bactrocera species was found
in Kenya. First identified as an ‘aberrant form’ of the ...
Detection of trypanosomes in small ruminants and pigs in western Kenya: important reservoirs in the epidemiology of sleeping sickness?
(BioMed Central, 2005)
Background: Trypanosomosis is a major impediment to livestock farming in sub-Saharan Africa
and limits the full potential of agricultural development in the 36 countries where it is endemic. In
man, sleeping sickness is ...
Pathogenic Escherichia coli and food handlers in luxury hotels in Nairobi, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2009)
Background: The epidemiology and virulence properties of pathogenic Escherichia
coli among food handlers in tourist destination hotels in Kenya are largely uncharacterized.
Method: This cross-sectional study among ...
