Rono, Martin K.; Muturi, Catherine N.; Ochieng, Richard; Mwakubabanya, Ramadhan; Wachira, Francis N.; Mwangangia, Joseph; Kinyanjui, Sam; Njunge, James; Mireji, Paul O. (Elsevier, 2019-10)

Cadmium is one of the widely used heavy metals (HM) in commercial and industrial products and contributes to environmental contamination in an urban setting. In our previous studies, we established that An. gambiae sensu ...
Characterization and Evaluation of Repellent Effect of Essential Oil of Mangifera indica L. from Kenya

Wanzala, Wycliffe; Alwala, O. J.; Inyambukho, R. A.; Osundwa, E. M.; Ndiege, I. O. (Taylor & Francis, 2010)

Ethnopharmacologically, the mango has a lot of applications in life in human health and ethnoveterinary medicines since ancient times. The study aimed at characterizing the essential oil of Mangifera indica L. leaves and ...
A comparative study of Anopheles gambiae Male mosquitos response to frequency modulated (FM) and pulse modulated (PM) waves at different acoustic frequencies and distances

Maweu, Onesmus M.; Deng, A. L.; Muia, L. M. (2009)

The efficiency of an electronic device meant to disrupt acoustic communication between male and female Anopheles Gambian mosquitoes was tested by recording approaches of the males towards the device as a function of distance ...

Wanjala, Cornelius C.; Maniafu, Barasa M.; Wilber, Lwande; Ndiege, Isaiah O.; Akenga, Teresa A. (Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2009-09)

Three Plumbago spp have been tested for mosquito larvicidal activity. The crude extracts exhibiting the highest larvicidal activity against Anopheles gambiae were hexane (LC50 = 6.4 μg/mL) and chloroform (LC50 = 6.7 μg/mL) ...
Transmission parameters of the sound of a female mosquito

Maweu, Onesmus M.; Muia, L. M.; Deng, A. L. (2011)

The audio spectra of three different species of female mosquitoes in flight were taped and analyzed. This work has established the modulating frequency (intelligence) to be at 97.7 Hz for all the species of mosquitoes ...
