Edwin O. Ogola,Anne Kopp,Armanda D.S. Bastos,Inga Slothouwer,Marco Marklewitz,D.C.A. Omoga,Gilbert Rotich,Caroline Getugi,Rosemary Sang,Baldwyn Torto,Sandra Junglen,David P. Tchouassi +11 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses of seven complete-coding genome sequences generated from tortoise-associated ticks formed a monophyletic clade within JMTV strains from other countries, confirming the circulation of JMTV in ticks in Kenya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulation of Ngari Virus in Livestock, Kenya
D.C.A. Omoga,David P. Tchouassi,Marietjie Venter,Edwin O. Ogola,G. Eibner,Anne Kopp,Inga Slothouwer,Baldwyn Torto,Sandra Junglen,Rosemary Sang +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported the undetected circulation of Ngari virus (NRIV) in apparently healthy cattle, sheep, and goats in Kenya, and demonstrated the isolation of infectious virus from several animals as well as presence of neutralizing antibodies in 38% of tested animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a Novel Orbivirus from Cattle Reveals Active Circulation of a Previously Unknown and Pathogenic Orbivirus in Ruminants in Kenya
D.C.A. Omoga,David P. Tchouassi,Marietjie Venter,Edwin O. Ogola,Solomon Langat,Caroline Getugi,G. Eibner,Anne Kopp,Inga Slothouwer,Baldwyn Torto,Sandra Junglen,Rosemary Sang +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported the discovery of a previously unknown disease-causing orbivirus in cattle collected in the Kenyan Rift Valley in 2020 and 2021, and the virus was subsequently detected in three additional cows sampled in neighboring locations in the subsequent year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divergent Hantavirus in Somali Shrews (Crocidura somalica) in the Semi-Arid North Rift, Kenya
D.C.A. Omoga,David P. Tchouassi,Marietjie Venter,Edwin O. Ogola,Gilbert Rotich,Joseph N Muthoni,Dickens O. Ondifu,Baldwyn Torto,Sandra Junglen,Rosemary Sang +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the circulation of rodent-borne hantavirus in peridomestic rodents and shrews in two semi-arid ecologies within the Kenyan Rift Valley.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phlebovirus diversity in ticks from livestock in arid ecologies in Kenya
Edwin O. Ogola,Anne Kopp,Armanda D.S. Bastos,Inga Slothouwer,D.C.A. Omoga,Josephine Osalla,Rosemary Sang,Baldwyn Torto,Sandra Junglen,David P. Tchouassi +9 more
TL;DR: A fragment of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene was identified in thirty of 671 tick pools, of which twenty-nine were from livestock sampled in Baringo county as mentioned in this paper .
