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 ...
Analysis of constraints and opportunities in marine small-scale fisheries value chain: A multi-criteria decision approach
(2020-05)
Small-Scale Fisheries (SSFs) globally and in Kenya face myriad constraints. However, there is little empirical information about actors' perspectives of these constraints and proposed solutions. The present study contributes ...
Environmental Levels and Human Body Burdens of Per- and Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances in Africa: A Critical Review
(Elsevier, 2020-06-05)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are known organic pollutants with adverse health effects on humans and the ecosystem. This paper synthesises literature about the status of the pollutants and their precursors, ...
Magnetocaloric Effect and Sign Reversal of Magnetic Entropy Change Across the Spin Reorientation Temperature in R3Fe5O12 (R = Gd, Dy)
(Elsevier, 2020-04-15)
The cubic structure with space group Ia3‾d for Gd3Fe5O12 and Dy3Fe5O12 are successfully synthesized and the magnetic behaviors are studied in details. The dc magnetization measurements show that an obvious negative ...
Spin Reorientation, Normal and Inverse Magnetocaloric Effects in Heavy Rare-Earth Iron Garnets
(Elsevier, 2020-08-01)
Experiments for heavy rare-earth iron garnets Ho3Fe5O12 and Er3Fe5O12 show a compensation effect characterized by a near zero magnetization at 134 K and 80 K, respectively. The magnetic entropy change calculated according ...
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 ...
What Determines Farmers’ Awareness and Interest in Adopting Cricket Farming? A Pilot Study from Kenya
(International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2020-11-04)
Farming crickets for human consumption is emerging as a promising novel and sustainable animal-source food production system. Cricket farming in Kenya first began in 2013; however, adoption rates have been slower than ...
Effect of hybridization on reproductive performance of Oreochromis karongae, Oreochromis shiranus and Oreochromis mossambicus
(Wiley Online Library, 2020-09-26)
The study assessed the effect of hybridization on reproductive performance of Oreochromis karongae, Oreochromis shiranus and Oreochromis mossambicus for a period of 120 days. Number of eggs per batch, number of females ...
