Detection of plasmodium parasites from images of thin blood smears
Kaduki, Kenneth A (2013)Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in tropical and subtropical countries. Conventional microscopy is the Gold standard in the diagnosis of the disease. However, it is prone to some shortcomings which ... -
Fabrication of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrates using silver nanoparticles produced by laser ablation in liquids
Ondieki, Annah M; Birech, Zephania; Kaduki, Kenneth A; Mwangi, Peter W; Mwenze, Nancy M; Juma, Moses; Jeptoo, Carolyne; Dlamini, M S; Maaza, Malik (University of Nairobi, 2023)This research describes the use of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates based on colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) produced by laser ablation of silver granules in pure water that are inexpensive, ... -
Rapid and non-destructive identification of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis mosquito species using Raman spectroscopy via machine learning classification models
Omucheni, Dickson L; Kaduki, Kenneth A; Mukabana, Wolfgang R (University of Nairobi, 2023)Background: Identification of malaria vectors is an important exercise that can result in the deployment of targeted control measures and monitoring the susceptibility of the vectors to control strategies. Although known ...
