Stabilization of RDT target antigens present in dried Plasmodium falciparum-infected samples for validating malaria rapid diagnostic tests at the point of care
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Background: Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are a great achievement in implementation of parasite based
diagnosis as recommended by World Health Organization. A major drawback of RDTs is lack of positive controls ...
Stocking Density Induced Stress on Plasma Cortisol and Whole Blood Glucose Concentration in Nile Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis niloticus) of Lake Victoria, Kenya
(Hindawi, 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 ...

Prevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns of Enteric Bacteria Isolated from Water and Fish in Lake Victoria Basin of Western
(citeseerx, 2011-03-22)
Abstract—A cross sectional study design and standard microbiological procedures were used to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium ...
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 ...
Metabolic syndrome and its predictors in an urban population in Kenya: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2017)
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of interrelated risk factors which doubles the risk of
cardio-vascular disease (CVD) in 5–10 years and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes 5 fold. The identification ...
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 ...
Hormonal correlates of natal dispersal and rank attainment in wild male baboons
(Academic Press, 2017-08-01)
Some pathological changes in Nile Tilapia and Nile Perch from Lake Victoria.
(University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2010)
Gross and microscopic lesions especially those associated with pollutants were investigated in Nile tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus) and Nile perch (Lates niloticus) from Lake Victoria. A total of 104 live fish were
bought ...
