The Potential of DNA Barcode-Based Delineation Using Seven Putative Candidate Loci of the Plastid Region in Inferring Molecular Diversity of Cowpea at Sub-Species Level.
(American Journal of Molecular Biology, 2016-10)
The novelty and suitability of the mitochondrial gene CO1 in DNA barcoding as a reliable identification tool in animal species are undisputed. This is attributed to its standardized sequencing segment of the mitochondrial ...
Stocking Density Induced Stress on Plasma Cortisol and Whole Blood Glucose Concentration in Nile Tilapia Fish ( Oreochromis niloticus ) of Lake Victoria, Kenya
(International Journal of Zoology, 2020-07-17)
Effects of high stocking densities (HSDs) were evaluated for Nile tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) under culture to determine its influence on plasma cortisol and whole blood glucose concentration. Plasma cortisol ...
Molecular Modelling of Insecticide Binding Sites of the Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels of Fall Armyworm, (Spodoptera frugiperda)
(Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences(A. Entomology), 2021-08-05)
Fall armyworm is a polyphagous migratory pest. Insecticides are used as major components of integrated pest management to control the pest, however, full dependence on insecticides has made the pest evolve resistance to ...
Susceptibility Evaluation of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) Infesting Maize in Kenya against a Range of Insecticides
(Journal of Taxicology, 2022-08-08)
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), is a worldwide pest of gramineous crops and a major pest of corn. Kenya has, in the recent years, reported massive outbreaks of this pest causing huge economic losses ...
Prognostic Potential of RDW in Discriminating Hemoglobinopathies among Patients reporting to Aga Khan Hospital, Kisumu
(Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2022-08-13)
Background
Red cell distribution width (RDW) measures the extent of variation in red blood cell (RBC) volume in terms of coefficient of variation. It reflects the degree of variation in RBC’s sizes and shapes, characteristic ...
Distribution of hemoglobinopathy phenotypes in western Kenya: a retrospective study done at Aga Khan Hospital, Kisumu
(The Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2022-06-07)
Background
Hemoglobinopathies are inheritable disorders of hemoglobin and are the most common genetic defects in humans. This is a neglected public health problem whose undiagnosis remain a major threat to its prevention ...
Susceptibility Evaluation of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) Infesting Maize in Kenya against a Range of Insecticides
(Journal of Toxicology, 2022-08-08)
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), is a worldwide pest of gramineous crops and a major pest of corn. Kenya has, in the recent years, reported massive outbreaks of this pest causing huge economic losses ...
Impact of Malaria Diagnostic Technologies on the Disease Burden in the Sub-Saharan Africa
(Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2022-03-22)
Worldwide, transmission of emerging and reemerging malaria infections poses a significant threat to human health in the Sub-Saharan Africa, one that can quickly overwhelm public health resources. While the disease burden ...
