Postepidemic analysis of Rift Valley fever virus transmission in northeastern Kenya: a village cohort study
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Background: In endemic areas, Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a significant threat to both human and animal health. Goals of this study were to measure human anti-RVFV seroprevalence in a high-risk area following the ... -
Potential for autoimmune pathogenesis of Rift Valley Fever virus retinitis
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013)Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a significant threat to human health because it can progress to retinitis, encephalitis, and hemorrhagic fever. The timing of onset of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) retinitis suggests an ... -
Potential for Selected Kenyan Clay in Production of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement
(Springer, 2020)The potential for calcined clay, and in particular Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3), to be used in concrete in Kenya was examined in this study. Locations of clay sources and existing mining infrastructure were examined ... -
The potential role of roaming dogs in establishing a geographically novel life cycle of taeniids (Echinococcus spp. and Taenia spp.) in a non-endemic area
(Elsevier, 2023-02)Introduction: Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is endemic in humans and livestock in many pastoral communities in Kenya. The distribution of the disease is enhanced by several factors, including livestock trade, which has allowed ... -
