(Maseno University, 2016)
ABSTRACT
Malaria is an important public health problem world wide with 283 million infections resulting in 584,000 deaths per year globally. In Kenya, malaria accounts for an estimated 18% of outpatients and 6% of hospital ...
Relationship between mites infestation levels in Kenyan tea to overhead volatile organic compounds and their variations with seasons, regions and selected agronomic practices
(Maseno University, 2016)
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a major cash crop in Kenya that suffers economic losses due to Brevipalpus phoenicis and Oligonychus coffeae infestations during droughts. Pesticides use on tea is prohibited and pests control ...
Comparison of Variations in Soil-Foliar Nutrients Levels and Productivity of Three Ratoon-Sugarcane Cultivars Due to Nitrogen-Potash Rates and Harvesting Age in Western Kenya
(2016)
Sugarcane productivity in Kenya has declined despite increased acreage and new cultivars possibly due to use of old-cultivar agronomic inputs. The N-K2O optimal rates for new cultivars are unknown. Kenya Sugar Industry ...
Fate Studies of Chlorsulfuron in Selected Soils Within the Mara River Basin of Kenya
(Maseno University, 2016)
Chlorsulfuron is a sulfonylurea herbicide used to control broadleaf and grass weeds in wheat farms within the Mara River Basin. It is assumed to be environmentally safe due to low application rates, relatively shorter ...
Computational study of the structural, Electronic, optical and thermal properties of Hexagonal and cubic Germanium-antimony-telluride
(Maseno University, 2016)
The electronic, optical and thermal properties of hexagonal and cubic phases of
Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT)
as implemented in the QUANTUM ESPRESSO computer package. GST is ...
Phytochemical investigations of lonchocarpus eriocalyx (harms), alysicarpus ovalifolius (schumach) and erythrina abyssinica (dc) for antiplasmodial, larvicidal, mosquitocidal and antimicrobial activities
(Maseno University, 2016)
Management of parasitic disease continues to be a burden and a major public health problem the world over today. Malaria is most lethal of the parasitic vector-borne diseases due to drug and vector resistance to the available ...
Additive stabilization of plasmodium proteins present in dried infected blood specimens
(Maseno University, 2016)
Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are a great achievement to the implementation of parasite based diagnosis before treatment. They use a nitrocellulose strip coated with antibodies that target the Plasmodium antigens; ...
