Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of in vivo antitrypanosomal activity of selected medicinal plant extracts
TL;DR: Results show that K. africana has great potential as anti trypanosomiasis agent, which could be developed into an alternative drug to complement treatment of trypanOSomiasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The expression of the large rice FK506 binding proteins (FKBPs) demonstrate tissue specificity and heat stress responsiveness
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that rice FKBPs are heat stress induced and differentially expressed in various tissues indicating specific physiological functions.
Journal Article
Antimicrobial properties and toxicity of Hagenia abyssinica (Bruce) J.F.Gmel, Fuerstia africana T.C.E. Fries, Asparagus racemosus (Willd.) and Ekebergia capensis Sparrm.
TL;DR: The results of the study support the medicinal use of these plants and indicate that useful compounds from Hagenia abyssinica and Fuerstia africana can be isolated for further exploitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bio-Prospecting for Broad Spectrum Antibiotic Producing Actinomycetes Isolated from Virgin Soils in Kericho County, Kenya
TL;DR: The soils from this region harbour Actinomycetes that may have good potential of producing novel antibiotics against gram positive bacteria and dermatophytes, and two of the isolates showed activity against MRSA and four isolate showed a higher potency than the standard drug Chloramphenicol against S. aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Plasmodium falciparum in Lake Victoria Islands, A Region of Intense Transmission
Felix M Mulenge,Carol W. Hunja,Esther Magiri,Richard Culleton,Akira Kaneko,Akira Kaneko,Rashid Aman +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that parasite population structure in the studied islands is shaped by human migration patterns that maintain extensive parasite gene flow between the sites, meaning that any malaria elimination and interventions strategies in the study area will have to be carried out broadly on all four islands and adjoining mainland region.
