View article: Risk factors for enteric pathogen detection in food consumed by children aged 6–24 months in informal urban neighbourhoods of Nairobi, Kenya: a cross-sectional study
Risk factors for enteric pathogen detection in food consumed by children aged 6–24 months in informal urban neighbourhoods of Nairobi, Kenya: a cross-sectional study Open
Background Food is an important transmission route for symptomatic and asymptomatic enteric infections in early childhood. Chronic carriage of enteric pathogens may lastingly impact gut health and childhood growth and development. This cro…

Evaluation of Cross-Protection of African Swine Fever Vaccine ASFV-G-ΔI177L Between ASFV Biotypes Open
Background/Objectives: Vaccine development for the prevention of ASF has been very challenging due to the extensive genetic and largely unknown antigenic diversity. Inactivated vaccines, using different inactivation methods and a variety o…

Antimicrobial resistance in community-acquired enteric pathogens among children aged ≤ 10-years in low-and middle-income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health priority. This systematic review summarizes the prevalence of AMR in enteric pathogens originating from the community, specifically among ≤10-year-old children in low-and middl…

Food-related risk factors for enteric pathogen detection in children aged 6-24 months living in a low-income informal area of Nairobi, Kenya: A cross-sectional study Open
Background: Enteric pathogen exposure is common among young children living in low-income settings and can have short- and long-term health consequences. Children between the ages of 6–24 months are particularly vulnerable as they experien…

A proof-of-concept randomised controlled trial of an intervention designed to improve food hygiene behaviours among caregivers of young children living in low-income areas of Nairobi, Kenya Open
Young children are particularly vulnerable to foodborne disease due to their immature immune systems. Safe food hygiene behaviours by caregivers can potentially reduce this disease burden. Here, we evaluate the potential for a locally desi…

Risk factors for diarrheagenic Escherichia coli infection in children aged 6–24 months in peri-urban community, Nairobi, Kenya Open
Escherichia coli commonly inhabits the gut of humans and animals as part of their microbiota. Though mostly innocuous, some strains have virulence markers that make them pathogenic. This paper presents results of a cross-sectional epidemio…

Prevalence and risk factors associated with the occurrence of Campylobacter sp. in children aged 6–24 months in peri-urban Nairobi, Kenya Open
Introduction Campylobacter bacteria is a major cause of foodborne-related bacterial gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. It is known to cause diarrhea in young children which has been shown to directly affect their weight and height as a r…
