Simulation of a Deterministic Model of HIV Transmission between Two Closed Patches
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2020-09-08)
Numerical simulation of a deterministic model of HIV transmission between major cities in Kenya is
carried out. The model considered two closed patches connected by the commuter movements of truck
drivers being the agents ...

(MDPI, 2021-03-12)
The 2014–2016 West African outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) was the largest and
most deadly to date. Contact tracing, following up those who may have been infected through
contact with an infected individual to ...
Modeling the Effect of HIV/AIDS Stigma on HIV Infection Dynamics in Kenya
(springer, 2021-03-15)
Stigma toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has impeded the response
to the disease across the world. Widespread stigma leads to poor adherence of preventative measures while also causing PLWHA to avoid testing and ...
Distribution, abundance and natural enemies of the invasive tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in Kenya
(cambridge university press, 2021-05-17)
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) has become a serious menace to sustainable production of tomato in Kenya. A survey was conducted between April 2015 and June 2016 to determine its distribution, abundance, infestation, and damage ...
Evidence-based modeling of combination control on Kenyan youth HIV/AIDS dynamics
(plos one, 2020-11-17)
We formulate a sex-structured deterministic model to study the effects of varying HIV testing
rates, condom use rates and ART adherence rates among Adolescent Girls and Young
Women (AGYW) and, Adolescent Boys and Young ...
MODELING DISPROPORTIONAL EFFECTS OF EDUCATING INFECTED KENYAN YOUTH ON HIV/AIDS
(journal of biological systems, 2020)
We formulate an age and sex-structured deterministic model to assess the effect of increasing comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS disease in the infected Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) and, Adolescent Boys and ...
The response of soil physicochemical properties to tillage and soil fertility resources in Central Highlands of Kenya
(Pagepress, 2020)
To attain agricultural sustainability, use of soil resources and
tillage requires equal consideration for chemical and physical
components of soil fertility. We assessed responses of selected soil
physical and chemical ...
Adoption of Selected Climate Smart Agriculture Technologies among Smallholder Farmers in Lower Eastern Kenya
(University of Embu, 2021-09)
Climate change has greatly affected food production and food security. Erratic
temperature rises and inconsistent precipitation have greatly influenced productivity
of crops and livestock. The impacts have gotten much ...
Factors Affecting Multiple Climate Change Adaptation Practices of Smallholder Farmers in lower Eastern Kenya
(Journal of Agricultural Extension, 2021-10)
The study investigated the socioeconomic and institutional factors influencing uptake of multiple climate change adaptation practices among smallholder farmers in lower Eastern Kenya. Multistage sampling procedure was used ...
