Expression profiling of Trypanosoma congolense genes during development in the tsetse fly vector Glossina morsitans morsitans
(BioMed Central, 2018-12)
The tsetse transmitted parasitic flagellate Trypanosoma congolense causes animal African trypanosomosis (AAT) across sub-Saharan Africa. AAT negatively impacts agricultural, economic, nutritional and subsequently, health ...
Effect of protein: starch ratio on microwave expansion of imitation cheese-based product
(Elsevier, 2011)
Microwave expansion of imitation cheese is a novel way of producing a potentially health crispy snack food. This study aimed to investigate the effects of protein:starch (P:S) ratios of 37:0, 24:13, 20:17 or 16:21 and ...

Bananas (Musa spp.) serve as food, income resource and animal feed in addition to other environmental benefits. In Kenya, the crop is mainly grown and managed by smallholder farmers. Over the last two decades, banana ...
Agronomic biofortification of maize and beans in Kenya through selenium fertilization
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Deficiency in calcium, zinc, selenium, and iodine remains a major health issue in Africa. A selenium (Se) status survey conducted in central Kenya highlands revealed a high risk of dietary Se deficiency. This study ...
Variation in nitrogen fixation among three Bush Bean cultivars grown in Kenya when inoculated with three Rhizobia Strains
(Greener Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2012)
Biological nitrogen fixation by promiscuous soybean (Glycine max L. Merril) in the central highlands of Kenya: response to inorganic fertilizer soil amendments.
(IDOSI Publications, 2010)
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) by promiscuous soybean cultivars offers a potential for minimizing the investment made by resource-limited farmers in central highlands of Kenya. Nitrogen fixation in this grain legume ...
Molecular characterization of Echinococcus species in dogs from four regions of Kenya
