Potential human pathogenic bacteria in five hot springs in Eritrea revealed by next generation sequencing
(PLOS ONE, 2018-03)
Human pathogens can survive and grow in hot springs. For water quality assessment,
Escherichia coli or Enterococci are the main thermotolerant enteric bacteria commonly used
to estimate the load of pathogenic bacteria ...
Advances in the development of molecular genetic tools for Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a Gram-positive bacterium of great clinical relevance, is a lethal pathogen
owing to its complex physiological characteristics and development of drug resistance. Several molecular
genetic ...
External debt servicing and Current account balance in Kenya
(2018-07)
Kenya has experienced persistent current account deficits that have remained underneath the threshold that
economists would consider sustainable. At the point when a nation runs steady current account deficit for a ...
Carbon in the Coastal Seascape: How Interactions Between Mangrove Forests, Seagrass Meadows and Tidal Marshes Influence Carbon Storage
(Springer, 2018-04)
Purpose of Review We use the ‘seascape’ concept to explore how interactions between mangrove forests, tidal marshes and
seagrass influence the storage of carbon in these ecosystems. Mangrove forests, with the other two ...
Drought Response in Selected Tropical Inbred Maize Lines and Relative Expression of PARP2 Gene under Limited Water Conditions
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-04)
Drought is the leading single factor that limits maize production thus inhibiting the crops genetic potential. In
response to drought, maize and other plants synthesize Poly ADP-Ribose (PAR) protein. This process is ...
Thermotolerant bacteria of biotechnological potential from hot springs in Eritrea
(2018-06)
Thermophiles are excellent sources of enzymes that can withstand and carry out reactions efficiently
under high temperatures. This study isolated and characterised thermotolerant bacteria that produce
enzymes of potential ...
Copper extraction by wet chemical method
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
In many countries large deposits of copper with no locally established copper based industries occur because
known methods for extraction are prohibitively expensive and unaffordable. This study reports on an affordable
and ...
A participatory epidemiological study of major cattle diseases amongst Maasai pastoralists living in wildlife-livestock interfaces in Maasai Mara, Kenya
(Springer, 2018-12)
Livestock-wildlife interactions promote the transmission of a wide range of infectious diseases that constraint livestock production.
We used a participatory appraisal approach to find out and rank infectious diseases of ...
Populations of Biomphalaria spp. Snails Isolates in Kenya Show Variable Resistance to Schistosome Infection
(Trade Science Inc., 2018-10)
Fresh water snails of genus Biomphlaria, Bulinus and Ocomelinia are important vectors for human schistosomiasis. Human contact
patterns with water infested with cercaria are important factors in transmission of schistosomiasis ...
