global south has highlighted the existence of a widespread
“implementation gap” between the ambitious intent enshrined in
legislation and the often partial, ...
Food algae for Lesser Flamingos: a stocktaking
(Springer, 2016-07)
Lesser Flamingo, the flagship species of saline wetlands of Africa and India, is a specialised feeder subsisting on microscopic cyanobacteria and algae. To establish the relationship between flamingo occurrence and food ...
Does the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis exist in the soda lakes of East Africa?
(Springer, 2011)
Presently, the food chains of the famous
saline alkaline flamingo-lakes of East Africa are the
focus of intense scientific discussion as the lakes host
toxic cyanobacteria, which when consumed by Lesser
Flamingos, ...
A Comparison of the physico-chemical and bacteriological quality of greywater from water deficient households in Homabay Town and Githurai Estates in Kenya.
(Academic Journals, 2012)
Greywater, the untreated household wastewater that has not been contaminated by toilet waste, has been touted as a reliable all year-round source of water, especially in water scarce areas. Although it is commonly reused ...
Cyanobacteria and cyanobacterial toxins in the alkaline crater lakes Sonachi and Simbi, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2005-01)
The phytoplankton communities and the production of cyanobacterial toxins were investigated in two alkaline Kenyan crater lakes, Lake Sonachi and Lake Simbi. Lake Sonachi was mainly dominated by the cyanobacterium Arthrospira ...
Picocystis salinarum (Chlorophyta) in saline lakes and hot springs of East Africa.
(2012-01)
The occurrence of Picocystis salinarum in saline inland waters of East Africa was investigated using a polyphasic approach of small-subunit (SSU) rDNA phylogeny and light microscope observations. Recent studies have found ...

(2002)
A bloom of Anabaena flos-aquae, Anabaena discoidea and Microcystis aeruginosa, was characterized in Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria, near Kisumu, Kenya. According to classical literature data, A. discoidea was considered to ...
Temporal changes in phytoplankton structure and composition at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir, Kenya
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998)
Temporal changes in phytoplankton chlorophyll a, composition, diversity, biomass (density and fresh weight) and primary production were investigated at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir (Kenya) over a two year period (1994 and ...
Analysis of the cyanotoxins anatoxin-a and microcystins in Lesser Flamingo feathers.
(Taylor & Francis, 2006)
Feathers from carcasses of the Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor), which had died after ingesting cyanobacterial toxins (cyanotoxins) contained between 0.02 and 30.0 µg microcystin-LR equivalents per gram of feather ...
