Correlation Between Malaria-Specific Antibody Profiles and Responses to Artemisinin Combination Therapy for Treatment of Uncomplicated Malaria in Western Kenya
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
The impact of preexisting immunity on the efficacy of artemisinin combination therapy must be examined to
monitor resistance, and for implementation of new treatment strategies
Comparison of non-magnetic and magnetic beads multiplex assay for assessment of Plasmodium falciparum antibodies
(PeerJ Inc., 2019)
Background. New reagents have emerged allowing researchers to assess a growing
number of vaccine-associated immune parameters. Multiplex immunoassay(s) are
emerging as efficient high-throughput assays in malaria serology. ...
Distribution and Diversity Land Snails in Human Inhabited Landscapes of Trans Nzoia County, Kenya
(South Asian Journal of Parasitology, 2019)
The study evaluated the distribution and some ecological aspects of land snails in croplands of Trans Nzoia, Kenya from January to December 2016. Snails were collected monthly during the study period and sampled using a ...
Fasciola gigantica: ultrastructural cytochemistry of the tegumental surface in newly-excysted metacercariae and in vitro-penetrated juvenile flukes informs a concept of parasite defence at the interface with the host
(Elsevier, 2019)
Cytochemical staining techniques were carried out en bloc with in vitro excysted and gut-penetrated Fasciola gigantica larvae in order to visualise the glycocalyx of the tegument, a structure which comprises the parasite ...
Comparison of GeneXpert and line probe assay for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rifampicin-mono resistance at the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory, Kenya
(Springer Nature, 2019-10-15)
The dual challenge of low diagnostic sensitivity of microscopy test and technical challenge of performing a TB culture test poses a problem for case detection and initiation of Tuberculosis (TB) second-line treatment. There ...
Bacterial biofilm cells quantification techniques: where is consensus in over two decades?
(Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences in Nitra, Slovakia, 2019-01-12)
It is widely accepted that bacterial biofilms are overly resistant to antibiotics, host immunity and disinfectants. Biofilms develop on
various food-processing surfaces hence pose major risks in food industries. Biofilms ...
Effect of Implementation of Free Maternity Policy on Selected Maternal and Newborn Health Indicators in Gem Sub-County, Siaya County, Western Kenya
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2019)
Introduction. Kenya introduced free maternity services in June 2013. The main
study objective was to investigate the effect of this intervention on maternal and newborn
health and specifically to determine differences ...
Evaluation of habitat use and ecological carrying capacity for the reintroduced Eastern black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis michaeli) in Ruma National Park, Kenya
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019-09-29)
We carried out a postrelease evaluation to determine predictors of habitat use and
carrying capacity for the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis michaeli), which are criti‐
cal for monitoring how the Ruma National Park ...

(BMC infectious disease, 2019)
The dual challenge of low diagnostic sensitivity of microscopy test and technical challenge of
performing a TB culture test poses a problem for case detection and initiation of Tuberculosis (TB) second-line
treatment. ...
