HIV-1 protease inhibitor drug resistance in Kenyan antiretroviral treatment-naive and-experienced injection drug users and non-drug users
(BioMed Central, 2015-08-15)
Background Although injection drug use drives antiretroviral drug resistance, the prevalence
of protease inhibitor (PI) resistance among Kenyan IDUs remains undetermined. We,
therefore, explored PI resistance mutations ...

Reduced transplacental transfer of a subset of Epstein-Barr virus-specific antibodies to neonates of mothers infected with Plasmodium falciparum malaria during pre...
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-11-01)
Over 35% of children in a region of malaria endemicity are infected with Epstein-
Barr virus (EBV) by 6 months of age. This susceptibility may be linked to impaired
transplacental transfer of antibodies. In this study, ...
Presence and distribution of mosquito larvae predators and factors influencing their abundance along the Mara River, Kenya and Tanzania
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-12-01)
Among all the malaria controlling measures, biological control of mosquito larvae
may be the cheapest and easiest to implement. This study investigated baseline predation of
immature mosquitoes by macroinvertebrate ...
Hepatitis B virus sero-profiles and genotypes in HIV-1 infected and uninfected injection and Non-injection drug users from coastal Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2015-07-30)
Background Information about HBV sero-markers, infection stages and genotypes in HIV-1
infected and uninfected injection and non-injection drug users (IDUs) in Kenya remains
elusive. Methods A cross-sectional study ...
MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS RESISTANCE TO ISONIAZID AND RIFAMPICIN IN A HIV-1 ENDEMIC POPULATION IN WESTERN KENYA IN 2014
(BMJ Specialist Journals, 2017-02-01)
Background The spread of mono-resistant and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)
has been enhanced by delays in the identification of resistant strains. However, resistance
gene patterns and the extent and ...
Voluntary medical male circumcision scale-up in nyanza, kenya: Evaluating technical efficiency and productivity of service delivery
(Public Library of Science, 2015-02-23)
Background Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) service delivery is complex and
resource-intensive. In Kenya's context there is still paucity of information on resource use vis-
à-vis outputs as programs scale up. ...
Effects of regional climate variability on the prevalence of diseases and their economic impacts on households in the Lake Victoria basin of Western Kenya
(Inderscience Publishers (IEL), 2016)
Effects of regional climate variability on the prevalence of diseases and their economic impacts on households in the Lake Victoria basin of Western Kenya
Presence of the knockdown resistance mutation, Vgsc-1014F in Anopheles gambiae and An. arabiensis in western Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-01)
Conclusion This is the first report of Vgsc-1014F in Kenya. Based on our samples, the
mutation is present in low frequencies in both An. gambiae and An. arabiensis. It is important
that we start monitoring relative ...
Pyrethroid susceptibility of malaria vectors in four Districts of western Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2014-07-04)
Increasing pyrethroid resistance in malaria vectors has been reported in
western Kenya where long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying
(IRS) are the mainstays of vector control. To ensure the ...
