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
Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of clinical isolates Salmonella serovar Typhimurium in western Kenya.
(University of Nairobi., 2009)
Salmonella spp. are recognized as some of the most common causes of enteritis worldwide. This study aimed to identify

Life at the top: rank and stress in wild male baboons
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2011-07-15)
In social hierarchies, dominant individuals experience reproductive and health benefits, but the costs of social dominance remain a topic of debate. Prevailing hypotheses predict that higher-ranking males experience higher ...
Antimicrobial activities of microorganisms obtained from the gut of Macrotermes michaelseni in Maseno, Kenya
(Journal of Applied Biology and Biotechnology, 2015-11)
The gut of termites is a major source of termicin and spinigerin antibiotics. The termite gut thus presents a novel
habitat for searching new antibiotic producing isolates. The objective of this study was to investigate ...

Comparison of equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in screening for chronic kidney disease in asymptomatic black Africans: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Several equations have been developed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The common
equations used were derived from populations predominantly comprised of Caucasians with chronic kidney disease
(CKD). Some ...
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. ...
