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 % ...
