Serological evidence for long-term epstein–barr virus reactivation in children living in a holoendemic malaria region of Kenya†
(2009)
To study the long term the effects of chronic exposure to P. falciparum malaria on Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation in children, EBV-specific antibody levels were measured in a cross-sectional survey of two groups of ...
Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Serogroup X Meningococcal Meningitis during an Outbreak in Western Kenya, 2005–2006
(2009)
The epidemiology of serogroup X meningococcal meningitis in Africa is unknown. During a serogroup X
meningococcus outbreak in Kenya, case finding involved record review at health facilities and interviews with health
workers ...
Removal of Cu(II) from Aqueous Solution Using a Micaceous Mineral of Kenyan Origin
(2009)
A micaceous mineral (MicaM) available locally in Kenya was utilized as an inexpensive and effective adsorbent for the removal of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solution. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature, adsorbate and ...
Kinetics of Copper Desorption from Regenerated Spent Bleaching Earth
(2009)
Recent studies have shown that spent bleaching earth (SBE), a clayey waste from edible oil refineries,
could be used to remove Cu from aqueous solutions. This could result in copper-laden material whose continual
disposal ...
Holocene palaeohydrology, groundwater and climate change in the lake basins of the Central Kenya Rift
(2009)
The Central Kenya Rift contains small soda lakes such as Nakuru, Elmenteita and Bogoria, freshwater Lake Naivasha, and the partly (spatially) freshwater Lake Baringo. The hydrology of this area is controlled mainly by ...
Heat source mapping and evaluation of geothermal resource potential in Lake Bogoria basin, Kenya
(2009)
The Lake Bogoria basin, here in referred to as the study area, is located in the greater Baringo-Bogoria basin (BBB), about 250 km to the north of the city of Nairobi and about 100 km to the north of Menengai geothermal ...
Early Hominin Foot Morphology Based on 1.5-Million-Year-Old Footprints from Ileret, Kenya
(2009)
Hominin footprints offer evidence about gait and foot shape, but their scarcity, combined with an inadequate hominin fossil record, hampers research on the evolution of the human gait. Here, we report hominin footprints ...
Antifungal activity of crude extracts of Gladiolus dalenii Van Geel (Iridaceae)
(2009)
Bulb extracts of Gladiolus dalenii reportedly used in the treatment of fungal infections in HIV/AIDS patients in the Lake Victoria region were tested for antifungal activity using the disc diffusion assay technique. ...
Microsatellite analysis of the correlation between molecular and morphological traits in assorted maize inbred lines
(2009)
The success in identifying heterosis in hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) breeding depends on the availability of reliable genetic diversity among maize inbred lines. Conventional methods of breeding have been boosted by the ...
