Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease Transmission Dynamics in a Metapopulation
(iosr journals, 2019-11)Epidemic modeling is an important theoretical approach for investigating the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. It formulates mathematical models to describe the mechanisms of disease transmissions and dynamics ... -
Mathematical Modeling of the Transmission Dynamics of Measles under the Effect of Vaccination.
(iosr journals, 2019-08)Measles virus is a member paramyxoviridae within the genus of morbillivirus. Its genome consist of approximately 16,000 bases of non-segmented single stranded negative sense RNA. This means that the virus is transcribed ... -
Turbulent Natural Convection in an Enclosure with Colliding Boundary Layers
(2018)When a heated plate is exposed to ambient room air without an external source of motion, a movement of air is experienced as a result of density gradients near the plate. This process is known as natural convection. The ... -
Chemical Constituents of Ocimum Kilimandscharicum Guerke Acclimatized In Kakamega Forest, Kenya
(Chemical Society of Ethiopia, 2019-10)The genus Ocimum belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is made of almost 200 species of herbs and shrubs which have potential medicinal properties. The species are native to the tropical and temperate climate zones around ... -
A review of 13C NMR spectra of drimane sesquiterpenes
(2019-09)Drimane sesquiterpenes are important group of phytochemicals with a wide range of medicinal properties including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiplasmodial, antileishmanial, molluscicidal, ... -
Dynamics of 2014 Ebola Epidemic in West Africa
(Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 2019)Ebola Virus disease 1s transmitted from human to human through physical contact of body fluid of infected or dead case It can also be transmitted indirectly through contact with contaminated surfaces. This risk is however ... -
Chemical Constituents of Essential Oils from Three Eucalyptus Species Acclimatized in Ethiopia and Kenya
(2014-11)Essential oils obtained by steam distillation of three Eucalyptus species acclimatized in Ethiopia and Kenya were analyzed using GC and GC-MS. The species were Eucalyptus citriodora, Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus ... -

Spatial modeling of HIV and HSV-2 among women in Kenya with spatially varying coefficients
(2016)Background: Disease mapping has become popular in the field of statistics as a method to explain the spatial distribution of disease outcomes and as a tool to help design targeted intervention strategies. Most of these ... -
Semi-Parametric Spatial Joint Modeling of HIV and HSV-2 among Women in Kenya
(2015-08)Several diseases have common risk factors. The joint modeling of disease outcomes within a spatial statistical context may provide more insight on the interaction of diseases both at individual and at regional level. Spatial ... -
Effects of entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae on non-target ants associated with Odontotermes spp. (Isoptera: Termitidae) termite mounds in Kenya
(ICIPE, 2016)Termites are an important component of savannah ecosystems throughout Africa. Despite their importance in the ecosystem, they can be serious pests of structures, houses, rangelands, tropical forestry, and agriculture. For ... -
EAFRINET and the Taxonomic Impediment: perspectives from the developing world
(2018-01)Taxonomic capacity in the developing world is seriously lacking, and as such species identification for both pests and useful species is seriously hampered. Some of these species are key indicators of environmental health ... -
African spider (Araneae) type specimens in the collection of the National Museums of Kenya
(2014-01)Type specimens of four species of spiders belonging to two families are held in the collection of the Invertebrate section of the Zoology Department of the National Museums of Kenya. These specimens comprise two holotypes ... -
A new species of Tarabulida (Solifugae: Daesiidae) from Kenya, with the first complete description of a male of the genus
(Bio One, 2010)We describe a new species of Tarabulida Roewer 1933 from Kenya. This genus was previously known from only two species (Tarabulida ephippiata Roewer 1933 and Tarabulida fumigata Roewer 1933) from Libya, which were described ...
