In-silico analysis of potent Mosquirix vaccine adjuvant leads
(Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023-11-30)
Background
World Health Organization recommend the use of malaria vaccine, Mosquirix, as a malaria prevention strategy. However, Mosquirix has failed to reduce the global burden of malaria because of its inefficacy. The ...
Abundance and Symbiotic Rhizobia Colonizing Soybean (Glycine max) in Soils of Kakamega County, Western Kenya
(International Journal of Agronomy, 2021-08-12)
Identification of effective indigenous rhizobia strain nodulating soybean (Glycine max) was conducted in Kakamega County, Western Kenya. This study was carried out to establish the abundance and symbiotic efficiency of ...
Molecular Characterization and Mineralizing Potential of Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria Colonizing Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Rhizosphere in Western Kenya
(International Journal of Microbiology, 2023-03-01)
Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) are a category of microbes that transform insoluble phosphates in soil into soluble forms that crops can utilize. Phosphorus in natural soils is abundant but poorly soluble. Hence, ...
Prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus-1 drug-resistant mutations among adults on first- and second-line antiretroviral therapy in a resource-limited health facility in Busia County, Kenya
(Pan African Medical Journal, 2020-12)
Introduction: in Kenya, about 1.5 million people are living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Antiretroviral therapy aids in viral suppression. However, drug-resistance threaten the gains of the HIV infection ...
HIV-1 Drug-Resistant Mutations in Relation to Virological Failure among Adults in Busia County, Kenya
(African Journal of Health Sciences, 2021-02-15)
Introduction: Busia County of Kenya with a Human Immune-deficiency Virus prevalence rate of 7.7% is two-fold higher than the Kenyan national prevalence at 4.9%. Antiretroviral (ARV) therapy is standard care for all HIV ...
Prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus-1 drug-resistant mutations among adults on first- and second-line antiretroviral therapy in a resource-limited health facility in Busia County, Kenya
(Pan African Medical Journal, 2020-12-03)
Introduction: in Kenya, about 1.5 million people are living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Antiretroviral therapy aids in viral suppression. However, drug-resistance threaten the gains of the HIV infection ...
Metaviromic analysis reveals coinfection of papaya in western Kenya with a unique strain of Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus and a novel member of the family Alphaflexiviridae
(Archives of Virology, 2020-03-09)
Severe mottling symptoms were observed on Carica papaya L. in Koyonzo, Kakamega County, Kenya. Total RNA was sequenced via an RNAtag-seq workflow. Assembled contigs indicated the presence of a divergent strain of Moroccan ...

Distribution and phenotypic characteristics of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) nodulating bacteria in diverse soils.
(Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Soil & Plant Science, 2020-08-19)
Bacteria were isolated from the root nodules using common bean as a trap host. Growth and morphological characteristics of the bacterial isolates were described on yeast extract mannitol mineral salts agar and broth media. ...
Correlation of HIV-1 drug resistant mutations and virologic failure
(Pan African Medical Journal, 2021-07-07)
Introduction: mutations are important by ensuring that the HIV-1 agent remains fit in the environment and evades drugs that are developed purposely to kill them. In Kenya, mutations conferring resistance to available ARVs ...
