Youth entrepreneurship in Kenya plays a significant role in enhancing Kenya’s economic development and in reducing youth unemployment. Despite the great significance of entrepreneurship in Kenya, there is a high failure ...
Evaluation of cercaricidal and miracicidal activity of selected plant extracts agains larval stages of Schistosoma mansoni
(Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 2016)
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by blood-flukes of the genus Schistosoma. It is one of the most widespread of all human parasitic diseases, ranking second only to malaria in terms of its socioeconomic and ...
“Methanoplasmatales,” Thermoplasmatales-related archaea in termite guts and other environments, are the seventh order of methanogens
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-12-01)
The Euryarchaeota comprise both methanogenic and nonmethanogenic orders and many lineages of uncultivated archaea with unknown properties. One of these deep-branching lineages, distantly related to the Thermoplasmatales, ...
Archaeal diversity and community structure in the compartmented gut of highert termites
(Philipps-Universität Marburg, 2013)
Termites are phylogenetically divided into lower and higher termites (Inward et al., 2007). The higher termites, which constitute three quarter of all known termite species, are represented by only one family Termitidae, ...
Isolation and characterization of Streptomyces species with antifungal activity from selected national parks in Kenya
(African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2010)
Microorganisms and their natural products are potentially important for the biological control of crop diseases without detrimental effects to the environment. In this study, acetonitrile-methanol extracts of
361 ...
Integrative microRNA and mRNA deep-sequencing expression profiling in endemic Burkitt lymphoma
(Springer, 2017)
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is characterized by overexpression of the c-myc oncogene, which in the vast majority of cases is a consequence of an IGH/MYC translocation. While myc is the seminal event, BL is a complex amalgam of ...

(BioMed Central, 2018-03-13)
Background: Identifying asymptomatic reservoirs of malaria parasites using index cases as entry points into the
community is potentially a cost-efective way towards achieving malaria elimination.
Methods: Within 1 year, ...
Pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles arabiensis in western Kenya: phenotypic, metabolic and target site characterizations of three populations
(Wiley Online Library, 2012)
Field and laboratory investigations revealed phenotypic, target site and metabolic resistance to permethrin in an Anopheles gambiae s.s. (Diptera: Culicidae) population in Bungoma District, a region in western Kenya in ...
Enzymatic Activity of Endophytic Bacterial Isolates from Selected Mangrove Plants in Kenya
(The Open Microbiology Journal, 2018-11-14)
Microorganisms are a preferred source of enzyme production due to their high production capability and low cost of production. Bacterial endophytes occupy unexplored sites hence they represent a new source of enzymes with ...
