Measuring Fitness of Kenyan Children with Polyparasitic Infections Using the 20-Meter Shuttle Run Test as a Morbidity Metric
(PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES, 2011-07-05)To date, there has been no standardized approach to the assessment of aerobic fitness among children who harbor parasites. In quantifying the disability associated with individual or multiple chronic infections, accurate ... -
Evaluation of the Health-related Quality of Life of Children in Schistosoma haematobium-endemic Communities in Kenya: A Cross-sectional Study
(PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES, 2013-03-07)Schistosomiasis remains a global public health challenge, with 93% of the ,237 million infections occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. Though rarely fatal, its recurring nature makes it a lifetime disorder with significant ... -
Cross-sectional interview study of fertility, pregnancy, and urogenital schistosomiasis in coastal Kenya: Documented treatment in childhood is associated with reduced odds of subfertility among adult women
(PLOS neglected tropical diseases, 2017-11-07)Previous research has documented an increased risk of subfertility in areas of sub-Saharan Africa, as well as an ecological association between urogenital schistosomiasis prevalence and decreased fertility. This pilot ... -
Parasitic infections during pregnancy need not affect infant antibody responses to early vaccination against Streptococcus pneumoniae, diphtheria, or Haemophilus influenzae type B
(PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES, 2019-02-28)Globally, vaccine-preventable diseases remain a significant cause of early childhood mortal ity despite concerted efforts to improve vaccine coverage. One reason for impaired protec tion may be the influence of prenatal ... -

Source reduction with a purpose: Mosquito ecology and community perspectives offer insights for improving household mosquito management in coastal Kenya
(PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES, 2020-05-11)Understanding mosquito breeding behavior as well as human perspectives and practices are crucial for designing interventions to control Aedes aegypti mosquito-borne diseases as these mosquitoes primarily breed in ... -
Screening for sexually transmitted infections in adolescent girls and young women in Mombasa, Kenya: Feasibility, prevalence, and correlates
(Author manuscript, 2018-12-01)As adolescents and young women become sexually active, they are at risk of adverse reproductive health outcomes including sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We assessed feasibility and acceptability of STI screening ... -
Iron Deficiency Anemia at Time of Vaccination Predicts Decreased Vaccine Response and Iron Supplementation at Time of Vaccination Increases Humoral Vaccine Response: A Birth Cohort Study and a Randomized Trial Follow-Up Study in Kenyan Infants
(frontiers in immunology, 2020-05-26)Iron deficiency may impair adaptive immunity and is common among African infants at time of vaccination. Whether iron deficiency impairs vaccine response and whether iron supplementation improves humoral vaccine response ... -
High Rates of O’Nyong Nyong and Chikungunya Virus Transmission in Coastal Kenya
(PLOS neglected tropical diseases, 2014-11-23)Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and o’nyong nyong virus (ONNV) are mosquito-borne alphaviruses endemic in East Africa that cause acute febrile illness and arthritis. The objectives of this study were to measure the seroprevalence ... -
Cross-sectional Study of the Burden of Vector-Borne and Soil-Transmitted Polyparasitism in Rural Communities of Coast Province, Kenya
(PLOS neglected tropical diseases, 2014-05-20)In coastal Kenya, infection of human populations by a variety of parasites often results in co-infection or poly parasitism. These parasitic infections, separately and in conjunction, are a major cause of chronic clinical ... -
