High genetic diversity for improvement of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes for sugar and allied products
(2014-05-30)Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a cultivated sorghum recognized as potential alternative source of bio-fuel due to its high fermentable sugar content in the stalk. It provides renewable energy products, ... -
A high-density linkage map of finger millet provides QTL for blast resistance and other agronomic traits
(Wiley, 2021-12-13)Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] is a critical subsistence crop in eastern Africa and southern Asia but has few genomic resources and modern breeding programs. To aid in the understanding of finger millet ... -
Higher education in evolving world: accelerating the pace of change in teaching for learning
(European Journal of Education Studies, 2021)World-wide, 21st century higher education (HE) involves knowledge acquisition focused on addressing societal challenges. Fundamentally valuable are high order skills, such as critical thinking, creative problem solving, ... -
Histomorphological characteristics of prostate specimens analyzed at a referral hospital in Kenya.
(Ajol, 2023-08-17)Global shift to high energy foods is important risk factor for new variants of prostate cancer. Some prostate tumors have an indolent course while others have an aggressive course; therefore, knowledge of tumor subtypes ... -
Historical Manifestation of Ethnocentrism and its challenges Today
(International Journal of Applied Sociology, 2011)In this article we have begun by defining ethnocentrism. According to anthropologists, the concept combines the belief that one’s own culture is superior to other cultures, with the practice of judging other cultures by ... -

The histostereological teratogenic effects of in-utero exposure to varied doses of lamotrigine on the developing fetal brain in albino rats (Rattus Norvegicus)
(AJOL, 2023-05-16)The histoqualitative teratogenic effects of lamotrigine, a second-line anticonvulsant medicine, on the developing fetal brain structures when exposed in utero in a time- and dose-dependent manner remain unclear. On the ... -
HIV-1 progression links with viral genetic variability and subtype, and patient’s HLA type: analysis of a Nairobi-Kenyan cohort
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-02-01)In a Nairobi-Kenyan cohort of 50 HIV-1 positive patients, we analysed the prevalence of HIV-1 subtypes and human leucocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. From this cohort, 33 patients were selected for the analysis of HIV-1 infection ... -
HIV-1 protease inhibitor drug resistance in Kenyan antiretroviral treatment-naive and-experienced injection drug users and non-drug users
(BioMed Central, 2015-08-15)Background Although injection drug use drives antiretroviral drug resistance, the prevalence of protease inhibitor (PI) resistance among Kenyan IDUs remains undetermined. We, therefore, explored PI resistance mutations ... -

HIV/AIDS and its impact on the environment and poverty in the Lake Victoria basin.
(Maseno University, 2000)An article is presented discussing the limited ability of current approaches in the Lake Victoria basin in Kenya, to stop or reduce disease transmission rates, treat those who are already affected, and resolve issues of ... -
A holistic approach to natural resource management: A case of Lake Victoria Basin
(CRC Press, 2012)Lake Victoria (LV), with a surface area of about 68,870 km2, is Africa’s largest and the world’s second largest freshwater lake. It lies at an altitude of 1134 m above sea level and relatively shallow with a maximum depth ... -

Hormonal correlates of natal dispersal and rank attainment in wild male baboons
(Academic Press, 2017-08-01)In many mammals, maturational milestones such as dispersal and the attainment of adult dominance rank mark stages in the onset of reproductive activity and depend on a coordinated set of hormonal and socio-behavioral ... -

Host specificity controlled by PWL1 and PWL2 effector genes in the finger millet blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae in eastern Africa
(Mol Plant Microbe Interact., 2023)Magnaporthe oryzae, a devastating pathogen of finger millet (Eleusine coracana), secretes effector molecules during infec tion to manipulate host immunity. This study determined the presence of avirulence effector ... -
Host-mediated selection impacts the diversity of Plasmodium falciparum antigens within infections
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)Host immunity exerts strong selective pressure on pathogens. Population-level genetic analysis can identify signatures of this selection, but these signatures reflect the net selective effect of all hosts and vectors in a ...
