Olubukola Oluranti Babalola,Ellie O. Osir,Abiodun I. Sanni,George D. Odhiambo,Wallace D. Bulimo +4 more
TL;DR: Experiments conducted in pots to determine the growth effect of different rhizobacteria on maize under Striga hermonthica infestation increased agronomic characteristics of maize although not always to a statistically significant extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of Pfmdr1 and Pfcrt in changing chloroquine, amodiaquine, mefloquine and lumefantrine susceptibility in western-Kenya P. falciparum samples during 2008-2011.

TL;DR: A rapid but steady percent increase in wild-type parasites with regard to both Pfmdr1 and Pfcrt between 2008 and 2011 is observed, which may be due to releasing of drug pressure on the parasite from reduced use of AQ in the face of increased Artemisinin Combination Therapy (ACT) administration following the intervention of the Global Fund in 2008.

TL;DR: The overall rate of secondary household transmission of laboratory-confirmed pandemic H1N1 was 26% (range: 7%-33%), which is comparable to secondary household attack rates reported for laboratory- confirmed seasonal influenza virus infection, however, additional and more rigorous studies are needed to better understand the secondary attack rates associated with the current pandemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of a tsetse fly midgut proteolytic lectin that mediates differentiation of African trypanosomes.
TL;DR: A bloodmeal-induced molecule with both lectin and trypsin activities from midguts of the tsetse fly, Glossina longipennis is isolated and characterized, and the protein was found to be capable of stimulating differentiation of bloodstream trypanosomes in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There were yearly variations in the prevalence and circulation patterns of individual HCoVs in Kenya and evolution analysis showed that the Kenyan HCoV-OC43 and H coV-NL63 isolates were under purifying selection.
