    Fitness cost of resistance for lumefantrine and piperaquine-resistant Plasmodium berghei in a mouse model 

    Gimode, R Winnie; Miboi, M Daniel; Kimani, T Francis; Wamakima, N Hannah; Burugu, W Marion; Francis, W Muregi (Mount Kenya University, 2015)
    The evolution of drug-resistant parasites is a major hindrance to malaria control, and thus understanding the behaviour of drug-resistant mutants is of clinical relevance. The study aimed to investigate how resistance ...

    Saeed, Hibbah Araba; Mogendi, Joseph Birundu; Akparibo, Robert; Kolsteren, Patrick (Current Research in Nutrition and Food Science Journal, 2015-04)
    Mid upper arm circumference-based diagnosis of severe acute malnutrition is seen as very attractive because it is assumed to be simple to use in measuring the arm and also requires a single cut-off without having to compute ...
