Determination of reference intervals for common chemistry and immunoassay tests for Kenyan adults based on an internationally harmonized protocol and up-to-date statistical methods
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
Due to a lack of reliable reference intervals (RIs) for Kenya, we set out to determine RIs for
40 common chemistry and immunoassay tests as part of the IFCC global RI project.
A cross-sectional observational study investigating the association between sedges (swamp grasses, Cyperaceae) and the prevalence of immature malaria vectors in aquatic habitats along the shore of Lake Victoria, western Kenya
(Faculty of 1000 Ltd, 2020)
Strategies that involve manipulations of the odour-orientation of gravid malaria vectors could lead to novel attract-and-kill interventions. Recent work has highlighted the potential involvement of graminoid plants in ...
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 ...
Impact of Population Services International (PSI) Insecticide-treated Net (ITNs) Distribution on Malaria Prevalence in Pregnancy: A Case of Kimilili-Bungoma Sub-County, Kenya
(South Asian Journal of Parasitology, 2020)
Insecticide-treated net (ITN) use is one of the most promising tools which have been shown to reduce the number of mosquito bites. Pregnant women and children less than five years have been specifically designated as ...
