Kiyuka, Patience K.; Munywoki, Patrick K.; Nokes, David James; Cotten, Matthew, 2018, "Replication Data for: Human Coronavirus NL63 Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Patterns in Rural Coastal Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/62MTQC, Harvard Dataverse, V1
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... |

The CIN group conducts multidisciplinary research, both basic and applied, that examine the use, costs, quality, accessibility, delivery, organization, financing, and outcomes of health care services to increase knowledge and understanding of the structure, processes, and effects of health services for individuals and populations. The key focus at... |
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... |

The bioscience department focuses on the molecular biology, epidemiology and immunology of infectious diseases with particular emphasis on the development of vaccines and understanding the transmission of pathogens. We work on malaria, viral pathogens, HIV and bacterial disease, and provide strategic direction to the Laboratory Research Platform Ou... |
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... |
