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 Afr Med J, 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 ...
Production of Organic Compost from Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms) in the Lake Victoria Basin: A Lake Victoria Research Initiative (VicRes
(Journal of Agriculture and Allied Sciences, 2016-12-14)
The Lake Victoria Basin (LVB) supports one of the poorest and most
populous rural populations in the East Africa region. The dipping fsh
population has forced the community around the Lake Victoria to turn to
farming ...
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. ...
Genetic Diversity of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) Accession in Kenya Gene Bank Based on Simple Sequence Repeat Markers.
(International Journal of Genomics, 2016-11-24)
Increased agricultural production is an urgent issue. Projected global population is 9 million people by mid of this century. Estimation projects death of 1 million people for lack of food quality (micronutrient deficit) ...
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 ...
Next Generation sequencing platforms for potato virus hunting , survillece and discovery
(African Journal of Bacteriology, 2020-07)
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a key alternative to maize crop in Kenya. However, pests and diseases affect the yields. Information on Irish potato virology is continually patchy. Viral disease dynamics require constant ...
Response of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Cultivars to Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms) Compost in Kisumu, Kenya along the Lake Victoria Basin
(Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2018-11)
Aims: This study aimed at enhancing common bean production among the small holder farmers along the Lake Victoria basin, Kenya through the use of water hyacinth compost.
Study Design: Randomized Complete Block Design with ...

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a key alternative to maize crop in Kenya. However, pests and diseases affect the yields. Information on Irish potato virology is continually patchy. Viral disease dynamics require constant ...
Effect of nitrogen sources on the yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in western Kenya
(Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2018-05-15)
Depletion of soil nutrients due to continuous cultivation without adequate external fertilization is one of the challenges facing many smallholder farmers in western Kenya. This study was conducted to assess the effects ...
Ligand-based pharmacophore modeling, virtual screening, and molecular dynamics simulations of Pfhsp90 fingerprints in Plasmodium malaria treatment
(Computational and Structural Biotechnology Reports, 2024-10-06)
The World Health Organization (WHO) documents malaria as one of the leading causes of high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The disease affects millions and kills thousands of people annually. Efforts to reduce the global ...
