This dataset contains demographic and laboratory results of human corona virus for samples collected in a household survey study in rural coastal Kenya. Data was collected in December 2009 to June 2010. |
Etyang, A.O., 2018, "Replication Data for: Blood Pressure and Arterial Stiffness in Kenyan Adolescents With α+Thalassemia", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/0GTMAN, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:/3s3KxvPr1NGrcI7F55NcA== [fileUNF]
Background recent studies have discovered that a_globin is expressed in blood vessel walls where it plays a role in regulating vascular tone. We tested the hypothesis that blood pressure (BP) might differ between normal individuals and those with alpha thalassemia, in whom the production of alpha globin is reduced. The related study - Shinikizo la... |
Agoti, C.N.; Munywoki, P.K.; Cotten, M.; Nokes, D.J., 2018, "Replication Data for: Transmission patterns and evolution of respiratory syncytial virus in a community outbreak identified by genomic analysis.", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/L9NFPN, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Detailed information on the source, spread and evolution of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) during seasonal community outbreaks remains sparse. Molecular analyses of attachment (G) gene sequences from hospitalized cases suggest that multiple genotypes and variants co-circulate during epidemics and that RSV persistence over successive seasons is c... |
Nyiro, J.U.; Munywoki, P.K.; Nokes, D.J., 2018, "Replication Data for: Defining the vaccination window for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) using age-seroprevalence data for children in Kilifi, Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/Z8DRSK, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:YPD4A23sNBfhF5XA8zCMCQ== [fileUNF]
Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children <5 years old worldwide [1], and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important viral pathogen responsible for annual bronchiolitis and pneumonia epidemics in these young children [2–5]. Global estimates indicate that RSV may cause about 0.3 million... |
Ouma, P; Okiro, EA; Snow, RW, 2017, "Sub-Saharan Public Hospitals Geo-coded database", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/JTL9VY, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:J6CCateatEPQfq41ZGzc5A== [fileUNF]
Timely access to emergency care can significantly reduce mortality. International benchmarks for access to emergency hospital care have been established to guide ambitions for universal health care by 2030. However, there is no complete geo-coded inventory of hospital services in Africa in relation to how populations might access these services. We... |
Osier, Faith; Kamuyu, Gathoni; Crosnier, Cécile; Wanaguru, Madushi; Oganda, Edna; McDade, Brian, 2017, "New antigens for multi-component blood-stage vaccines against Plasmodium falciparum malaria", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/EULHTX, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:cFbr0Rlt8Ja7gGJDfq93mg== [fileUNF]
This dataset is from a prospective longitudinal cohort study of children from Chonyi village in Kilifi County, Kenya. The study was conducted for the purpose of evaluating the potential protective efficacy of antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum antigens against clinical episodes of malaria. Venous blood was collected from 286 children (age 1-10 yea... |
Snow, RW, 2017, "The prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum in sub Saharan Africa since 1900", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/Z29FR0, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:HTEB0mwkXpFKpfEUtXM0tg== [fileUNF]
Short term seasonal cycles are a fundamental aspect of the epidemiology of malaria. Longer-term climate anomalies, changing environmental and intervention landscapes also alter the likelihoods of mosquito-human contact or the duration of host infection. The supra-seasonal, long-term cycles of transmission are poorly defined for P. falciparum malari... |
Snow, Robert W., 2017, "A geo-coded inventory of anophelines in the Afrotropical Region south of the Sahara: 1898-2016", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/NQ6CUN, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Understanding the distribution of anopheline vectors of malaria is an important prelude to the design of national malaria control and elimination programmes. A single, geo-coded continental inventory of anophelines using all available published and unpublished data has not been undertaken since the 1960s. We present the largest ever geo-coded datab... |

Otieno, James Richard; Nokes, David James, 2017, "Replication Data for: Molecular Evolutionary Dynamics of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Group A in Recurrent Epidemics in Coastal Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MNSYNF, Harvard Dataverse, V1
The data is from an on-going study aimed at understanding the epidemiology and disease burden of RSV-associated pneumonia cases in Kilifi. This report details the evolutionary dynamics of RSV-A genotype in Kilifi. Respiratory swab samples (combined nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal) were collected from January 2000 to December 2012 from: (i) LRTI ca... |

This dataset comprises of Nucleotide sequences used to match primers and probes, and for phylogenetic inferences. A total of 168 N and G gene sequences deposited in Genbank with accession numbers from KX775772 - KX775940. This data is freely available. In our analysis, we observed inconsistencies between two routine RSV diagnostic methods applied i... |
