Kiunga, P.Kitala, P.Kipronoh, K.A.Kiplimo, Jusper RonohMosomtai, G.Bett, Bernard K.[Applications of ecological niche modelling for mapping the risk of Rift Valley fever in Kenya]Applications of ecological niche modelling for mapping the risk of Rift Valley fever in Kenya

Irrigation schemes introduced in areas of high malaria endemicity often amplify malaria burden especially if no mitigation or adaptation measures are implemented (Renshaw et al., 1998). Thias study was conducted in Bura and Hola irrigation schemes in Tana River County to (i) understand the knowle...


Muriuki, J.Kitala, P.Muchemi, G.Bett, Bernard K.[Epidemiology of malaria in irrigated parts of Tana River County, Kenya]Epidemiology of malaria in irrigated parts of Tana River County, Kenya

Development of irrigation schemes is usually associated with escalation of the malaria problem. Mathematical models can be used to explain the effects of irrigation on malaria transmission dynamics. This study aimed at developing and validating a one-host one-vector deterministic model made up of...

We describe a horizontal survey of African swine fever virus (ASFV) prevalence and risk factors associated with virus infection in domestic pigs in two contrasting production systems in Kenya. A free range/tethering, low input production system in Ndhiwa District of South-western Kenya is compare...


Okoth, Edward A.Gallardo, C.Macharia, J.M.Omore, Amos O.Pelayo, V.Bulimo, D.W.Arias, MarisaKitala, P.Baboon, K.Lekolol, I.Mijele, D.Bishop, Richard P.[Comparison of African swine fever virus prevalence and risk in two contrasting pig-farming systems in South-west and Central Kenya]Comparison of African swine fever virus prevalence and risk in two contrasting pig-farming systems in South-west and Central Kenya

Background The impacts of vaccination on the transmission of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) have not been evaluated. We have developed a RVFV transmission model comprising two hosts—cattle as a separate host and sheep and goats as one combined host (herein after referred to as sheep)—and two vec...

A study of 150 dog-owning households from six randomly selected sublocations was conducted in Machakos District, Kenya. Initially, all households were visited to collect information on dog ecology and demography based on WHO guidelines and to collect serum for rabies antibody detection. A second ...
