Effects of Soil- Transmitted Helminths and Schistosoma Species on Nutritional Status of Children in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya
Aim: Soiltransmitted helminths (STH) and schistosomiasis are a major public health problem in Kenya as well as in many other tropical countries. Intestinal parasite infections have been associated with malabsorption and nutrient loses that can lead to malnutrition.

متن کاملEffect of rice husbandry on mosquito breeding at Mwea Rice Irrigation Scheme with reference to biocontrol strategies.
A study was carried out at Mwea Rice Irrigation Scheme, Kenya, to assess the impact of rice husbandry on mosquito breeding and identify indigenous biocontrol agents with potential for controlling mosquito breeding in the scheme. The study established a close relationship between the schedule of the farming practices (particularly the flooding phase) and mosquito breeding. Two groups of agents, ...
متن کاملEnvironmental covariates of Anopheles arabiensis in a rice agroecosystem in Mwea, Central Kenya.
Water quality of aquatic habitats is an important determinant of female mosquito oviposition and successful larval development. This study examined the influence of environmental covariates on Anopheles arabiensis mosquito abundance in the Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Central Province of Kenya, prior to implementation of a malaria vector control program. Experimental rice plots were used to examine ...
متن کاملSpatially targeting Culex quinquefasciatus aquatic habitats on modified land cover for implementing an Integrated Vector Management (IVM) program in three villages within the Mwea Rice Scheme, Kenya
BACKGROUND Continuous land cover modification is an important part of spatial epidemiology because it can help identify environmental factors and Culex mosquitoes associated with arbovirus transmission and thus guide control intervention. The aim of this study was to determine whether remotely sensed data could be used to identify rice-related Culex quinquefasciatus breeding habitats in three r...
