Susceptibility patterns and tolerance mechanisms of Staphylococcus Epidermidis biofilms to Physico-chemical stress exposure
(Maseno University, 2018)
Bacterial biofilms remain a major public health burden. Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm is the predominant cause of biofilm-associated infections. Kisumu county has a high circulation of antibiotic resistance genes, ...
Determination of Antimicrobial Resistance of Escherichia Coli Isolated From Rastrineobola Argentea and Water Samples From Lake Victoria - Kenya
(Maseno University, 2014)
Many strains of Escherichia coli can be pathogenic leading to diarrheal diseases. The occurrence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria is increasing in aquatic environments infecting fish which are later consumed by humans ...
Additive stabilization of plasmodium proteins present in dried infected blood specimens
(Maseno University, 2016)
Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are a great achievement to the implementation of parasite based diagnosis before treatment. They use a nitrocellulose strip coated with antibodies that target the Plasmodium antigens; ...
Pathogenesis of Schistosomiasis and HIV Co-infecfion: Polymorpmsms in Il-23 Receptor in Schistosomiasis Patients undergoing Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)
(Maseno University, 2013)
IllY and schistosomiasis co-infection is common around Lake Victoria region, raising the possibility of schistosomiasis-related immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in patients undergoing mv medication. Some ...
Genome-wide comparative study of epstein-barr virus genomic recombination in endemic burkitt lymphoma and healthy children from jootrh, western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2022)
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL), the most prevalent pediatric cancer in Western Kenya, is augmented by the interplay between Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and holoendemic malaria infection. Despite the relevance of genomic ...
The functional associations between il-4 -589t/c and Il-6 -636g/c promoter polymorphisms and paediatric Severe malarial anaemia in a holoendemic area of Western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2009)
Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent and lethal human malaria parasite, IS
responsible for most malaria-related morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. It
manifests mainly as severe malarial anaemia (SMA) in ...
Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of salmonella Isolated from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ni/otics, L.) Along lake Victoria beaches in western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2009)
Enteritis induced by nontyphoidal Salmonella represents major economic and social
problems. Chemotherapeutic selection may have additional consequences for
virulence evolution through acquisition of linked virulence ...
Binding of opsonized immune complexes to Erythrocyte crlicd35 inhibits TNF-a production by restricting immune complex uptake by macro phages
(Maseno university, 2008)
Previous studies have shown that children suffering from severe malaria have elevated
concentrations of TNF-a, increased levels of circulating immune complexes (ICs) and
decreased levels of complement regulatory proteins ...
Apoptotic machinery in plasmodium falciparum Growing in a continuous culture
(Maseno university, 2009)
Apoptosis and indeed metacaspase have not been sufficiently evaluated to show their role
in Plasmodium Jalciparum. To study apoptosis, synchronized P. Jalciparum cultures were
initiated at a parasitemia of 0.5 % at 5 % ...
HEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AS ALTERNATIVE MARKERS OF STOCKING DENSITY- INDUCED STRESS IN CULTURED NILE TILAPIA, (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) UNDER CULTURE CONDITIONS.
(Maseno University, 2022)
Fish and fisheries play a significant role in meeting nutritional food security, more so of the poor communities in the low and middle income countries (LMIC).Oreochromis niloticusisone the most valuable warm water fishes ...
