Habitat characteristics and population structure of the fishes of the upper Victoria Nile, Uganda
(Maseno university, 2021)Globally, riverine fishes are important in supplementing lacustrine fish production. In Uganda, Upper Victoria Nile (UVN) is considered as a critical habitat to fish species reproduction, feeding, shelter and as source of ... -
Habitat Diversity, Stability, and Productivity of Malaria Vectors in Irrigated and Nonirrigated Ecosystems in Western Kenya
(Oxford University Press, 2022-11-05)Several sub-Saharan African countries rely on irrigation for food production. This study examined the impact of environmental modifications resulting from irrigation on the ecology of aquatic stages of malaria vectors in ... -
Habitat selection and vertical inheritance drive archaeal community structure in arthropod guts
(ECOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY DRIVERS OF MICROBIAL COMMUNITY STRUCTURE IN TERMITE GUTS, 2015)The arthropod gut is streamlined to anaerobically mineralize mostly plant-derived organic matter. In only five major arthropod groups (millipedes, scarab beetle larvae, cockroaches, and lower and higher termites) are ... -
Habitat use and ecological carrying capacity for the Eastern black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis michaeli) in Ruma National Park, kenya
(Maseno University, 2018)The population of black rhinoceros has declined in African range states since 1960s due to poaching and habitat loss. In Kenya the species population declined from an estimated 20,000 in 1970 to less than 500 animals by ... -
Haematological abnormalities in children with sickle cell disease and non-severe malaria infection in western Kenya
(Springer, 2021)In Plasmodium falciparum infection, clinical conditions such as anaemia, thrombocytopenia and leukocytosis are common. Mutation in haemoglobin sub-unit beta gene (HBB) may be a genetic factor responsible for these ... -

Haematological Parameters by Age and Sex of Asymptomatic Indigenous Cattle and Sheep Infected with Gastrointestinal Parasites in Kerio Valley, Kenya
(Science & Education Publishing, 2019)Gastro-intestinal parasites are prevalent and directly impede livestock production causing impaired productivity. Haematological parameters, which are likely to be influenced by parasites, are generally indicators of healthy ... -
Haematological response of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus Burchell 1822) fingerlings exposed to different concentrations of tobacco (Nicotiana tobaccum) leaf dust
(Hindawi, 2013)The present study set out to investigate the haematological effects of tobacco leaf dust on African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, fingerlings, with a mean weight of 3.01 ± 1.25 g using “static renewal bioassay system” ... -
Haemostatic disorders in patients with breast cancer at Kenyatta national hospital, Kenya

(BioMed Central, 2017-04-20)Background Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in pediatric severe malarial anemia (SMA) pathogenesis is a crucial step in the design of novel therapeutics. Identification of host genetic ... -
Haplotypes and α globin gene analyses in sickle cell anaemia patients from Kenya
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1987-02)Over 60 patients from the Luo and Luhya tribes of Western Kenya, aged 1–23 years. with severe sickle cell anaemia were evaluated through haematological and gene mapping analyses. Nearly all (56 of 58 tested) were homozygous ... -
Haplotypes of IL12B promoter polymorphisms condition susceptibility to severe malaria and functional changes in cytokine levels in Thai adults
(Immunogenetics, 2012)Polymorphic variability in immune response genes, such as IL12B, encoding the IL-12p40 subunit is associated with susceptibility to severe malaria in African populations. Since the role of genetic variation in conditioning ... -
