Household Socio-Cultural and Economic Predictors of Drug and Substance Abuse among High School Students in Kisumu East Sub County, Kisumu County–Kenya
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2021)
PURPOSE- The household socio-cultural and economic predictors of drugs and substance abuse among high school students were investigated in Kisumu East Sub-County, Kisumu County. STUDY AREA DESCRIPTION- The study was conducted ...
Antibody Profiles to P. falciparum Antigens over Time Characterize Acute and Long-Term Malaria Exposure in an Area of Low and Unstable Transmission
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020-12-02)
Prevalence and levels of antibodies to multiple Plasmodium falciparum antigens show promise as tools for estimating malaria exposure. In a highland area of Kenya with unstable transmission, we assessed the presence and ...
A mass insecticide-treated bed net distribution campaign reduced malaria risk on an individual but not population level in a highland epidemic-prone area of Kenya
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020-12-02)
In epidemic-prone areas of the western highlands, the Kenya Ministry of Health conducted campaigns of indoor residual spraying (IRS) of households, followed by mass distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs), as ...
Lack of Consistent Malaria Incidence Hotspots in a Highland Kenyan Area during a 10-Year Period of Very Low and Unstable Transmission
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020-12-02)
The use of spatial data in malaria elimination strategies is important to understand whether targeted interventions against malaria can be used, particularly in areas with limited resources. We previously documented ...
Antibody Correlates of Protection from Clinical Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in an Area of Low and Unstable Malaria Transmission
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020-12-02)
Immune correlates of protection against clinical malaria are difficult to ascertain in low-transmission areas because of the limited number of malaria cases. We collected blood samples from 5,753 individuals in a Kenyan ...
Serological Evidence of Yersiniosis, Tick-Borne Encephalitis, West Nile, Hepatitis E, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Lyme Borreliosis, and Brucellosis in Febrile Patients Presenting at Diverse Hospitals in Kenya
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. Publishers, 2020-04-28)
Data on pathogen prevalence is crucial for informing exposure and disease risk. We evaluated serological evidence of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), West Nile (WN), Hepatitis E virus (HEV), Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever ...
