Fibropapillomatosis infection in a population of green turtles at Watamu Bay, Kenya
(African Journals Online (AJOL), 2021-01)
Anthropogenic stressors from onshore and offshore activities can act as driving factors of disease for a wide range of
marine organisms. Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) are prominently afflicted with a tumour-causing disease ...
Incidence of toxigenic Aspergillus and Fusarium species occurring in maize kernels from Kenyan households
(ANU, 2022-09)
Aspergillus andFusarium are fungal genera that include toxigenic and pathogenic species, able to suffuse farmers’ crops and secrete an array of small molecular weight secondary metabolites which can cause health complications ...
Variant analysis of the sporozoite surface antigen gene reveals that asymptomatic cattle from wildlife-livestock interface areas in northern Tanzania harbour buffalo-derived T. parva
(ANU, 2020-10)
Buffalo-derived Theileria parva can ‘break through’ the immunity induced by the infection and treatment vaccination method
(ITM) in cattle. However, no such ‘breakthroughs’ have been reported in northern Tanzania where ...
A review of recent research on Theileria parva: Implications for the infection and treatment vaccination method for control of East Coast fever
(ANU, 2020-03)
The infection and treatment (ITM) live vaccination method for control of Theileria parva infection in cattle is increasingly being adopted, particularly in Maasai pastoralist systems. Several studies indicate positive ...
Novel Rickettsia and emergent tick-borne pathogens: A molecular survey of ticks and tick-borne pathogens in Shimba Hills National Reserve, Kenya
(ANU, 2017-02)
Ticks are important vectors of emerging and re-emerging zoonoses, the majority of which originate from wildlife. In recent times, this has become a global public health concern that necessitates surveillance of both known ...
Molecular Detection of Tick-Borne Pathogen Diversities in Ticks from Livestock and Reptiles along the Shores and Adjacent Islands of Lake Victoria and Lake Baringo, Kenya
(ANU, 2017-05)
Although diverse tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) are endemic to East Africa, with recognized impact on human and livestock health, their diversity and specific interactions with tick and vertebrate host species remain poorly ...
