Morphological traits associated with anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) resistance in selected common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes
(African Journal of Plant Science, 2019)
Common bean is among the most important legume crop for protein source in people’s diet globally
and including Kenya. Anthracnose is a common disease of legumes that causes yield loss of up to 90-
100%. The aim of the ...
Haematological Parameters by Age and Sex of Asymptomatic Indigenous Cattle and Sheep Infected with Gastrointestinal Parasites in Kerio Valley, Kenya
(American Journal of Biomedical Research, 2019)
Gastro-intestinal parasites are prevalent and directly impede livestock production causing impaired
productivity. Haematological parameters, which are likely to be influenced by parasites, are generally indicators of ...
Epstein barr virus IgG and EBER-1 in Burkitt’s lymphoma children at a referral hospital in western Kenya
(Pan African Medical Journal, 2019)
Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is a frequent childhood B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in equatorial Africa associated with infections. Chronic Epstein
Barr virus (EBV) infections can lead to host immune stimulation that ...
Immunoglobulin heavy variable (IgHV) gene mutation and micro-RNA expression in Burkitt’s lymphoma at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Western Kenya
(African Health Sciences, 2019)
Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) is a virus associated childhood B-cell cancer common in Eastern Africa. Continued
survival of B-cells in germinal centres depend on expression of high affinity immunoglobulins (Ig) to complementary ...
Integrated extended reach VCSEL interconnect with 8.5 Gbps data modulated forward Raman pump signals
(JOURNAL OF MODERN OPTICS, 2019)
We experimentally present thefirst reported integrated cross-modulatedforward Raman pump, with
low-cost, power-efficient VCSELs. A single-mode VCSEL is directly modulated with 8.5 Gbps data and
transmitted over a 50.7 ...
Modulated Raman pump for integrated VCSEL-based reach enhancement and clock tone dissemination in optical communication
(Elsevier, 2019)
The fast growth of data traffic in access networks calls for high speed and low-cost optical links. To extend
reach for users in metro areas requires optical amplification of the signal carrying data. In this paper ...

(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Moringa oleifera Lam (MO) is a pan tropical, multipurpose tree whose seeds contains high quality edible oil (up to 40% by weight) and water soluble proteins that act as effective coagulants for water and wastewater treatment. ...
SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEAT ANALYSIS OF 2015 WHEAT STEM RUST PATHOGEN (Puccinia graminis f. sp. Tritici); (Pgt) POPULATION IN KENYA.
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Wheat (Triticum aestivium) production in Kenya is severely hampered by emerging and re-emerging pathogens, stem rust Ug99 and related race group being one of the major constraints. The challenge has been largely attributed ...
CULCASIA FALCIFOLIA ETHANOL LEAF EXTRACT EFFICACY AND SAFETY IN THE TREATMENT OF EPILEPSY INDUCED BY PENTYLENETETRAZOLE IN LABORATORY MICE
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Culcasia falcifolia is a therapeutic plant conventionally used in the form of ash in Nandi County, Kenya in the treatment of epilepsy. The study intended to evaluate the antiepileptic activity of ethanol extract of C. ...
