Development of a specimen-sparing multichannel bead assay to detect antiparasite IgG4 for the diagnosis of Schistosoma and Wuchereria infections on the coast of Kenya
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014)
To better delineate the impact of parasitic coinfection in coastal Kenya, we developed a novel specimen-sparing bead assay using multiplex flow immunoassay (MFI) technology to simultaneously measure serum or plasma ...
Impact of polyparasitic infections on anemia and undernutrition among Kenyan children living in a Schistosoma haematobium-endemic area
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013)
We measured prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium, Wuchereria bancrofti,Plasmodium falciparum, hookworm, and other geohelminths among school-aged children in four endemic villages in Kwale County, Kenya and explored the ...
Anemia among children exposed to polyparasitism in coastal Kenya
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2015)
Anemia represents a substantial problem for children living in areas with limited resources and significant
parasite burden. We performed a cross-sectional study of 254 Kenyan preschool- and early school-age children in ...
Evaluation of the health-related quality of life of children in Schistosoma haematobium-endemic communities in Kenya: a cross-sectional study
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Schistosomiasis remains a global public health challenge, with 93% of the, 237 million infections occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. Though rarely fatal, its recurring nature makes it a lifetime disorder with significant ...
