Efficacy and persistence of long-lasting microbial larvicides against malaria vectors in western Kenya highlands. Parasites & Vectors
(2018)ackground: Chemical-based malaria vector control interventions are threatened by the development of insecticide resistance and changes in the behavior of the vectors, and thus require the development of alternative control ... -
Efficacy of Chlorfenapyr and Clothianidin Insecticides on Anopheles Malaria Vector populations of Nyando, Bumula and Ndhiwa sub-counties, Western Kenya
(Maseno University, 2018)Malaria is a global health problem resulting in 435,000 deaths annually with 90% of the deaths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. Over 70% of the Kenyan population is at risk of malaria and western Kenya is an endemic region ... -
Efficacy of long lasting insecticidal nets compromised by insecticide resistance
(Research Information Ltd, 2014-01-01)Malaria control is heavily reliant on the use of insecticides given that the two most common control tools, long lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) and indoor residual sprays are both insecticide based. Of these, the ... -

(ILRI, 2019-05-20)Background: Worldwide, milk forms a major part of human diet especially for children and expectant mothers. However, milk in East Africa has been shown to be frequently contaminated with aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) and bacteria. ... -
Efficacy of peer counselling on emotional adjustment among orphaned learners in Kenyan schools
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2016)There has been an overwhelming rise in the number of orphans in Kenyan primary schools. The purpose of this study was to establish the efficacy of peer counseling on emotional adjustment among orphaned learners. The study ... -
Efficacy of synergized and non-synergized Tagetes minuta methanol extract in controlling Periplaneta americana within households
(Malhotra Publishing House, 2015)In this study, comparative analysis of Sesamum indicum L. oil synergized and non-synergized methanol extract of the T. minuta were assayed against P. americana collected from households within Maseno Division, Kenya. The ... -
Efficacy of the PermaNet Dual compared to the Interceptor G2 and the PermaNet 3.0 in experimental huts in Siaya County, western Kenya.
(Research Square, 2024-01-25)Pyrethroid-chlorfenapyr nets have shown significant epidemiological impact over pyrethroid-only and pyrethroid plus piperonal-butoxide (PBO) in Africa. Here we describe a non-inferiority evaluation of PermaNet Dual, a ... -
Efficacy of thermal ablation for treatment of biopsy‐confirmed high‐grade cervical precancer among women living with HIV in Kenya
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2023-09-15)The World Health Organization recommends thermal ablation (TA) as an alternative to cryotherapy within “screen-and-treat” cervical cancer programs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including among women living ... -
