(2014)
This paper looked at the implementation of Digital Village Projects (DVPs) in Kenya and
the constraints that hinder the successful implementation of these projects. DVPs like any
other Information and Communication ...
Intelligent System for Predicting Agricultural Drought for Maize Crop
(International journal of technology enhancements and emerging engineering research, 2014)
There has been little information in regard to agricultural drought prediction. This paper aimed at coming up with an efficient and intelligent agricultural drought prediction system.
By using a case study approach and ...
Molecular Investigation into a Malaria Outbreak in Cusco, Peru: Plasmodium falciparum BV1 Lineage is Linked to a Second Outbreak in Recent Times
(2016)
In November 2013, a Plasmodium falciparum malaria outbreak of 11 cases occurred in Cusco, southern Peru, where falciparum malaria had not been reported since 1946. Although initial microscopic diagnosis reported only ...
Spatially variable risk factors for malaria in a geographically heterogeneous landscape, western Kenya: an explorative study
(2016)
Background
Large reductions in malaria transmission and mortality have been achieved over the last decade, and this has mainly been attributed to the scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets and indoor residual ...
On the effects of random forces in non uniformly distributed dynamical system
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
Interaction of a dynamical system with stochastic source R(t) is studied using parabolic type equation on a circle of length 2L.Greens function for the system is constructed and it is shown that almost all the correlation ...
Investigations into the Tectonic Faults on Magadi Geothermal Field Using Ground and Aeromagnetic Data
(2013)
Lake Magadi area of the Kenya Rift is characterized by faulting, tectonic activities and geothermal
resources. The geothermal potential of the graben in the southern part of the lake was investigated using
magnetic methods ...
Temporal genetic differentiation in Glossina pallidipes tsetse fly populations in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
BACKGROUND:
Glossina pallidipes is a major vector of both Human and Animal African Trypanosomiasis (HAT and AAT) in Kenya. The disease imposes economic burden on endemic regions in Kenya, including south-western Kenya, ...

Human Skin Microbiota And Their Volatiles As Odour Baits For The Malaria Mosquito Anopheles Gambiae S.S
(University of Nairobi, 2011-05)
Host seeking by the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae) is mainly guided by volatile chemicals present in human odours. The skin microbiota plays an important role in the production ...
Ecology and Behavior of Anopheles arabiensis in Relation to Agricultural Practices in Central Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Ecological changes associated with anthropogenic ecosystem disturbances can influence human risk of exposure to malaria and other vector-borne infectious diseases. This study in Mwea, Kenya, investigated the pattern of ...
