(Springer (BioMed Central Ltd), 2015-09)
Background
Grains of important food and export crops in Africa are susceptible to contamination by toxin-producing moulds. Aflatoxins are mycotoxins associated with liver damage and cancer in humans and animals. These ...
Expression of metallothionein and tubulin in heavy metal-tolerant Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (Diptera:Culicidae).
(Elsevier, 2010)
Anopheles mosquitoes have been shown to adapt to heavy metals in their natural habitats.
In this study we explored the possibility of using Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto as bioreporters for environmental heavy metal ...
Characterization of algae oil (oilgae) and its potential as biofuel in Kenya
(2012-05)
A survey of microalgae biodiversity in three Kenyan Rift valley lakes identified high oil yielding species abundantly distributed naturally. The species were cultured in BBM and BG-11 media to obtain pure clones and lipids ...
Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome Among an Urban Population in Kenya
(2012-04)
OBJECTIVE:
Developing countries are undergoing an epidemiologic transition accompanied by increasing burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) linked to urbanization and lifestyle modifications. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster ...
