Multi-locus genotyping reveals absence of genetic structure in field populations of the brown ear tick (Rhipicephalus appendiculatus) in Kenya
Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is an important tick vector of several pathogens and parasitizes domestic and wild animals across eastern and southern Africa. However, its inherent genetic variation and population structure ...
Urban consumption of meat and milk and its green and blue water footprints—Patterns in the 1980s and 2000s for Nairobi, Kenya
The problem: Various studies show that the developing world experiences and will continue to experience a rise
in consumption of animal proteins, particularly in cities, as a result of continued urbanization and income ...
Analyses of mitochondrial genes reveal two sympatric but genetically divergent lineages of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus in Kenya
The ixodid tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus transmits the apicomplexan protozoan parasite Theileria parva, which causes East coast fever (ECF), the most economically important cattle disease in eastern and southern Africa. ...
Exploring Niches for Short-Season Grain Legumes in Semi-Arid Eastern Kenya: Coping with the Impacts of Climate Variability
Climate variability is the major risk to agricultural production in semi-arid agroecosystems
and the key challenge to sustain farm livelihoods for the 500 million people who
inhabit these areas worldwide. Short-season grain ...
