Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between virulence and repellency of entomopathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana to the termite Macrotermes michaelseni
David M. Mburu,L. Ochola,Nguya K. Maniania,Peter G. N. Njagi,L. M. Gitonga,Mary Ndungu,Anthony Wanjoya,Anthony Wanjoya,Ahmed Hassanali,Ahmed Hassanali +9 more
TL;DR: The results show an interesting co-evolutionary phenomenon in which the termite's response to either M. anisopliae or B. bassiana is directly related to potential harm these fungi can inflict on the insect and that the virulent strains are more likely to be recognized from some distance and avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of witchweed, Striga hermonthica, and stemborers in sorghum, Sorghum bicolor, through intercropping with greenleaf desmodium, Desmodium intortum
Zeyaur R. Khan,Charles A. O. Midega,Ahmed Hassanali,John A. Pickett,Lester J. Wadhams,Anthony Wanjoya +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that intercropping sorghum with D. intortum offers an effective control of both pests, leading to higher grain yields, and grain yields were significantly higher in the former than in the monocrop plots throughout the study period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Temperature on Virulence of Fungal Isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana to the Two-Spotted Spider Mite Tetranychus urticae
David M. Bugeme,David M. Bugeme,Markus Knapp,Hamadi I. Boga,Anthony Wanjoya,Nguya K. Maniania +5 more
TL;DR: Fungal isolates were more virulent at 25, 30 and 35°C than at 20°C and there were no significant differences in virulence between fungal isolates at 30 and35°C; however, significant differences were observed at 20 and 25°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Power of the Pruned Exact Linear Time(PELT) Test in Multiple Changepoint Detection
TL;DR: The PELT algorithm is implemented which uses a common approach of detecting changepoints through minimising a cost function over possible numbers and locations of changepoints and it was observed that the power of the test, for a given size of change, is almost the same at all changepoints location.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory Evaluation of the Aqueous Extract of Azadirachta Indica (Neem) Wood Chippings on Anopheles Gambiae s.s. (Diptera: Culicidae) Mosquitoes
Annabel F. V. Howard,Annabel F. V. Howard,Elizabeth A. Adongo,Ahmed Hassanali,Ahmed Hassanali,Francois X. Omlin,Anthony Wanjoya,Guofa Zhou,John M. Vulule +8 more
TL;DR: Aqueous extracts of neem wood and bark chippings can be produced locally and their use has the potential to be a low-tech component of integrated malaria vector control schemes in sub-Saharan Africa.
