Cytotoxic activity of medicinal plants of the Kakamega County (Kenya) against drug-sensitive and multidrug-resistant cancer cells
2018
Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance The geographical location of Kakamega County proximal to the Kakamega Rain Forest in Kenya and its rich flora represents an interesting resource of traditional medicinal plants. The medicinal plants in the present study are traditionally used to treat cancer in Kakamega County as recorded in published literature. Aim of the study Due to multidrug resistance (MDR) and severe side effects of currently used drugs in clinical oncology, new candidate compounds are urgently required to improve treatment outcome. The present study explored the in vitro cytotoxic potential of 34 organic and 19 aqueous extracts of Kakamega medicinal plants towards sensitive an…

Quantitative aspects of egg-laying behaviour contribute to the eruptive success of Cameraria ohridella parasiting horse-chestnuts.
2015
5 pages; International audience; The invasive leaf-mining moth, Cameraria ohridella, revealed to be a consistent eruptive species throughout Europe, at the expense of its host, the common horse chest-nut tree Aesculus hippocastanum. Its repeated outbreaks, year after year, are admittedly caused, in part, by the inadequacy of the ambient cortege of natural enemies as an effective mean of control of the dynamics of populations of this pest.Less attention has been given to other parameters also contributing to the moth’s impact in term of mines density, such as (i) the degree of selectivity of C. ohridella mothers among host-leaves prior to oviposition and (ii) the average clutch-size.Although…
Cytotoxicity of 91 Kenyan indigenous medicinal plants towards human CCRF-CEM leukemia cells.
2015
Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance Plants from Kenyan flora are traditionally used against many ailments, including cancer and related diseases. Cancer is characterized as a condition with complex signs and symptoms. Recently there are recommendations that ethnopharmacological usages such as immune and skin disorders, inflammatory, infectious, parasitic and viral diseases should be taken into account when selecting plants that treat cancer. Aim The present study was aimed at investigating the cytotoxicity of a plethora of 145 plant parts from 91 medicinal plants, most of which are used in the management of cancer and related diseases by different communities in Kenya, against CCRF-CEM …
Zirgkastaņu raibkodes Cameraria ohridella Deschka et Dimić populācijas dinamika un to ietekmējošais parazitoīdu sugu komplekss
2015
Zirgkastaņu raibkode Cameraria ohridella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) ir invazīva suga, kas izraisa lapotnes defoliāciju parastā zirgkastaņa Aesculus hippocastanum kokiem. Pētījuma mērķis bija apskatīt zirgkastaņu raibkodes populācijas dinamikas attīstību ietekmējošos rādītājus un identificēt raibkodes parazitoīdu sugu kompleksu. Jelgavas pilsētā 2014. gada veģetācijas periodā tika veikta raibkodes radīto lapu bojājumu novērtēšana. Veicot lapu paraugu izpēti un raibkodes īpatņu uzskaiti, tika apskatīta populācijas attīstības dinamika, fenoloģija, mirstības apmēri un noteikti mirstības cēloņi. Izolējot kūniņas, tika novērtēta mātīšu olu dēšanas produktivitāte. Izvietojot kūniņas ziemošanas …
