Validation of A Cytometric Multiplex Assay and Examination Of Antibody Responses to Plasmodium Falciparum Antigens in the Highlands of Western Kenya During a Period of Low Malaria Transmission
(Maseno University, 2013)
Malaria is one of the world's most deadly diseases. Even though it is highly preventable and
treatable, it is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the tropics. As the campaign for
malaria eradication widens, ...
Screening Some Parameters of the C3 Species and C4 Species Influencing their Distribution along the Altitudinal Gradient in arid and Semi arid Ecosystems of Western Kenya
(Maseno University, 2005)
Studiesof the parameters determining the mechanism of photosynthesis and
theirimpacton the distribution of the plant species has been reported in literature

Chemical and Pharmacological Analysis of Caesalpinia Volkensii (H.), Senna Didymobotrya (F.) and Vitex Doniana (S.) from Kenya
(Maseno University, 2012)
Despiteefforts to eradicate malaria, it remains a deadly disease with severe pathophysiological
impacts, due to parasitic resistance to available drugs. The success of plant-based drugs
motivated a study aimed at evaluating ...
Effects of Intercropping Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L) Verdic) and NERICA rice (Oryza sativa L.) on their Productivity and Soil Fertility
(Maseno University, 2010)
Agricultural production in Kenya has stagnated since 1980s resulting in malnutrition in over 89% of
Kenya's population. Food insecurity has been identified as the prime cause of malnutrition. Low
agricultural productivity ...

Genetic basis of heat induced sex determination in Nile tilapia (oreochromis niloticus l.), and genetic variability of the species Local populations
(Maseno University, 2011)
Oreochromis niloticus commonly known as Nile tilapia is the most cultured tilapine cichlid in
the sub-Saharan Africa. Most of the culture practices are of mixed sexes with the inherent
problem of overpopulation leading ...
Susceptibility and behavioural responses of the Genus anopheles (diptera: culicidae). To bednets . Impregnated with a synergized pyrethrum Insecticide, forlviulation and potential for Malaria control
(Maseno University, 2012)
The use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) has become a key cost-effective
intervention in malaria control. However, there is need to develop new insecticide
formulations to sustain the technology and manage the threat ...
Field and laboratory evaluation of newly-introduced Long-lasting insecticide treated nets (llins) for malaria Vector control
(Maseno University, 2010)
Insecticide treated nets (ITNs) have been proven to substantially reduce morbidity and
mortality due to malaria among children and pregnant women in Sub-Sahara Africa.
However, the disadvantages with ITNs are that they ...
Molecular Profiling and Phylogenetic Clustering of [Vigna Unquictdata (L.) Walp.] Gene Pools from the Gene Bank of Kenya and Ecotypes Based On Putative DNA Barcode Loci And intergenic Spacers
(Maseno University, 2017)
Thenovelty of mtDNA gene loci, COl in DNA barcoding is undisputed. This is attributed
to its standardized sequencing segment of the cytochrome c oxidase-l gene with the
necessary universality and variability making it a ...
Local adaptations, comparative trophic ecology and phylogenetic analysis of the haplochromine Cichlids of lake Kanyaboli, a satellite lake of lake Victoria,Kenya
(Maseno University, 2005)
The satellite lakes of Lake Victoria region have been noted as potential refugia of
haplochromine cichlids that have gone extinct in Lake Victoria. These lakes include lakes
