Increasing risks of infections with foodborne pathogens may occur as a result poor food handling practices. The present cross-sectional study employed mixed-methods approach to determine the factors associated among handlers working in establishments Thika, Kiambu County, Kenya. Random sampling was used enroll respondents survey. A single stool specimen collected from each participant. Laboratory analysis done test selected pathogens. Overall, 44 out 285 who took part had at least one...
Introduction . Behavioural resistance to insecticides restrains the efficacy of vector control tools against mosquito-transmitted diseases. The current study is aimed at determining impact insecticide on major malaria vectors’ biting, feeding, and resting behaviour in areas with without Teso North South, Busia County, Western Kenya. Methods Mosquito larvae were sampled using a dipper, reared into 3-5-day-old female mosquitoes [4944] which exposed 0.75% permethrin 0.05% deltamethrin World...
Knockdown resistance (kdr) is strongly linked to pyrethroid insecticide in Anopheles gambiae Africa, which may have vital significance the current increased use of pyrethroid-treated bed net programmes. The study aimed at determining species composition, levels resistance, and knockdown patterns sensu lato areas with without Teso North South subcounties, Western Kenya. For WHO vulnerability tests, mosquito larvae were sampled using a dipper, reared into 3-5-day-old female mosquitoes (4944...
