Evidence of co-exposure with Brucella spp, Coxiella burnetii, and Rift Valley fever virus among various species of wildlife in Kenya
(Public Library of Science, 2022-09)
Co-infection, especially with pathogens of dissimilar genetic makeup, may result in a more
devastating impact on the host. Investigations on co-infection with neglected zoonotic pathogens in wildlife are necessary to ...
Influence of landscape heterogeneity on entomological and parasitological indices of malaria in Kisumu, Western Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2022)
Identification and characterization of larval habitats, documentation of Anopheles spp. composition and abundance, and Plasmodium spp. infection burden are critical components of integrated vector management. The present ...

(BioMed Central, 2022)
Malaria remains a public health problem in Kenya despite sustained interventions deployed by the government. One of the major impediments to effective malaria control is a lack of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. ...
Profiling genome-wide recombination in Epstein Barr virus reveals type-specific patterns and associations with endemic-Burkitt lymphoma
(BioMed Central, 2022-12)
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL) is potentiated through the interplay of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum malaria. To better understand EBV’s biology and role in eBL, we characterized genome-wide ...
