    • Dynamics of metal uptake and depuration in a parasitized cyprinid fish (Rastrineobola argentea) 

      Okoth, Elijah O.; Admiraal, Wim; Osano, Odipo; .Kraak, Michiel H.S; Kogogo, Pamela J.A.Were; Gichuki, John; Ngure, Veronica; Makwali, Judith; Ogwai, Caleb (Elsevier, 2012)
      Infestation of fish by endoparasites may potentially influence metal uptake and elimination by the host. We quantified the metal uptake rate constant (ku) and efflux rate constants (ke) of radiolabeled Cd and Co in the ...

    • Physico-chemical charecteristics of Nyanza gulf in lake Victoria, Kenya. 

      Misiko, Florence Monicah; Radull, John; Gichuki, John; Andika, Darius O. (2011)
      Kisumu Bay is greatly impacted by pollution from anthropogenic activities around Winam Gulf and from increased levels of industrial and municipal discharges from Kisumu town. This has resulted in significant changes in the ...

    • Spatial distribution and habitat characterization of schistosomiasis host snails in lake and land habitats of western Kenya 

      Ofulla, Ayub V.; Adoka, Samson O; Anyona, Douglas N.; Abuom, Paul O.; Karanja, Diana; Vulule, John M.; Okurut, Tom; Matano, Ally‐Said; Dida, Gabriel O.; Jembe, Tsuma; Gichuki, John (John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2013)
      Intermediate host snails of schistosomiasis were surveyed in this study to determine their abundance and distribution in the lake and land aquatic habitats of Lake Victoria basin of Kenya. Several sites were sampled at ...

    • Trophic state indices and Phytoplankton quotients for the Kisumu bay, Lake Victoria 

      Misiko, Monicah Florence; Sitoki, Lewis Morara; Gichuki, John; Andika, Darius O.; Anyona, Nyambane; Radull, John (Dynamic Network for Research, 2014)
      This study aimed at estimating the Phytoplankton quotients; Bay, and to determine eutrophic levels of the bay. The study was conducted from April 2009 to April 2010. Nutrients and phytoplankton analyses were determined by ...
