The role of complement immune response on artemisinin-based combination therapy in a population from malaria endemic region of Western Kenya
(Springer, 2020)
Naturally acquired immunity (NAI), which is characterized by protection against overt clinical disease
and high parasitaemia, is acquired with age and transmission intensity. The role of NAI on the efcacy of anti-malarial ...
Stocking Density Induced Stress on Plasma Cortisol and Whole Blood Glucose Concentration in Nile Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis niloticus) of Lake Victoria, Kenya
(Hindawi International Journal of Zoology, 2020)
Effects of high stocking densities (HSDs) were evaluated for Nile tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) under culture to determine its
influence on plasma cortisol and whole blood glucose concentration. Plasma cortisol ...

Alternative sigma factor B (σB) and catalase enzyme contribute to Staphylococcus epidermidis bioflm’s tolerance against physicochemical disinfection
(2019)
Staphylococcus epidermidis is the predominant cause of recalcitrant bioflm-associated infections, which
are often highly resistant to antibiotics. Thus, the use of physico-chemical agents for disinfection ofers
