Surveillance of endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV-NL63, OC43 and 229E) associated with pneumonia in Kilifi, Kenya [version 1;peer review: awaiting peer review]
Grieven P. Otieno,Nickson, Murunga, Agoti, Charles N.,Katherine E. Gallagher,Juliet O. Awori,D. James Nokes +4 more
TL;DR: Overall, 4% of paediatric pneumonia admissions were associated with three endemic HCoVs, with a high proportion of cases co-occurring with another respiratory virus, with no clear seasonal pattern, and with the age-distribution of cases following that of pneumonia admissions (i.e. highest in infants).

Characterizing the countrywide epidemic spread of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus in Kenya between 2009 and 2018
D. Collins Owuor,Zaydah R. de Laurent,Gilbert K. Kikwai,Lillian M. Mayieka,Melvin Ochieng,Nicola F. Müller,Nancy A. Otieno,Gideon O. Emukule,Elizabeth Hunsperger,Rebecca Garten,John Barnes,Sandra S. Chaves,D. James Nokes,Charles N. Agoti +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed 383 A(H1N1)pdm09 viral genomes from hospitalized patients between 2009 and 2018 from seven locations across Kenya, using these genomes and contemporaneously sampled global sequences, characterized the spread of the virus in Kenya over several seasons using phylodynamic methods.

Caroline Mburu,John Ojal,Rose Chebet,Donald Akech,Boniface Karia,James Tuju,Antipa Sigilai,Kaja Abbas,Mark Jit,Sebastian Funk,Gaby Smits,Pieter G. M. van Gageldonk,Fiona R. M. van der Klis,Collins Tabu,D. James Nokes,John Anthony Scott,Stefan Flasche,Ifedayo M. O. Adetifa +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the risk of measles outbreaks during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya as a case study for the African Region and predicted the age-adjusted population immunity in Kenya and estimated the probability of outbreaks when contact-reducing COVID19 interventions are lifted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole genome sequencing of two human rhinovirus A types (A101 and A15) detected in Kenya, 2016-2018
