Maternal lipid levels change dynamically during gestation to support normal fetal growth. To obtain a detailed footprint of these changes and their differences in pregnancies with preterm or small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates, we analyzed 641 l...
BACKGROUND: African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) and human African trypanosomosis (HAT) are transmitted and spread primarily by tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) in sub-Saharan Africa. The animal disease poses significant challenges to agropastoral systems...
Accurate, up-to-date agricultural monitoring is essential for assessing food production, particularly in countries like Kenya, where recurring climate extremes, including floods and droughts, exacerbate food insecurity challenges. In regions dominate...
INTRODUCTION: This study seeks to determine incidence, comorbidities and drivers for new HIV infections to develop, test and validate a risk prediction model for screening for new cases of HIV.
INTRODUCTION: Multimorbidity (MM), defined as two or more chronic diseases in an individual, is linked to adverse outcomes. MM is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa due to rapidly advancing epidemiological and social transitions. The Research Hub (MAD...
Soil-transmitted helminths primarily comprise Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms, infecting more than 600 million people globally, particularly in underserved communities. Manual microscopy of Kato-Katz thick smears is a widely ...

The Mount Kenya forest ecosystem (MKFE), a crucial biodiversity hotspot and one of Kenya's key water towers, is increasingly threatened by climate change, putting its ecological integrity and vital ecosystem services at risk. Understanding the intera...
Tsetse fly vectors of African trypanosomosis preferentially feed on certain vertebrates largely determined by olfactory cues they emit. Previously, we established that three skin-derived ketones including 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, acetophenone and ger...
