Effect of four rounds of annual school-wide mass praziquantel treatment for schistosoma mansoni control on schistosome-specific immune responses.
Ndombi, EM; Abudho, B1; Kittur, N; Carter, JM; Korir, H; Riner, DK; Ochanda, H; Lee, YM; Secor, WE; Karanja, DM; Colley, DG (University of Nairobi, 2018)This study evaluated potential changes in antischistosome immune responses in chil-dren from schools that received 4 rounds of annual mass drug administration (MDA) of praziquantel (PZQ). In a repeated cross-sectional study ... -
The Effect Of Immunizing Swiss White Mice With Snail Soluble Proteins And Challenging Them With Schistosoma Mansoni
Kobia, EN; Ochanda, H; Yole, DS (ISPUBSchool of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2012)Schistosomiasis infects approximately 700 million people in 74 endemic countries. It causes high morbidity. Although the drug of choice, Praziquantel is effective against Schistosoma mansoni, there is a problem of rapid ... -

The effect of temperature on the rate of transmission of Theileria parva parva infection to cattle by its tick vector, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
Ochanda, H; Young, A. S; Mutugi, J. J; Mumo, J; Omwoyo, P. L (1988)A steer was infected with Theileria parva parva Kilae stabilate; nymphal Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks were applied to its ears so that they completed repletion when the steer had a high piroplasm parasitaemia. The ... -
The effect of vaccinating S. mansoni-infected BALB/c mice either before or after treatment
Yole, D. S; Obanda, V. O; Kithome, K; Ochanda, H (2006)In Schistosoma mansoni endemic areas, there are people with ongoing S. mansoni infection, others have been infected and treated while others have never been infected. What would happen if these different groups of people ... -
