Spatial epidemiology of tuberculosis diagnostic delays, healthcare access disparities, and socioeconomic inequities in Nairobi County, Kenya Open
Introduction Kenya ranks among the top 30 countries with a high tuberculosis (TB) burden globally. With a TB prevalence of 558 per 100,000, only 46% of TB cases are diagnosed and treated, leaving 54% undiagnosed and at risk of spreading th…

Spatial distribution of sexual network locations used by long-distance truck drivers along the Northern Corridor highway, Kenya Open
Background In Kenya, long-distance truck drivers (LDTDs) using the Northern Corridor highway have a high prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to their risky sexual networks. However, the spatial distributi…

Sero-epidemiological survey of Coxiella burnetii in livestock and humans in Tana River and Garissa counties in Kenya Open
Background Coxiella burnetii is a widely distributed pathogen, but data on its epidemiology in livestock, and human populations remain scanty, especially in developing countries such as Kenya. We used the One Health approach to estimate th…

Epidemiological study on foot-and-mouth disease in small ruminants: Sero-prevalence and risk factor assessment in Kenya Open
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is endemic in Kenya affecting cloven-hoofed ruminants. The epidemiology of the disease in small ruminants (SR) in Kenya is not documented. We carried out a cross-sectional study, the first in Kenya, to estimate…

Adherence to iron and folic acid supplementation during pregnancy among postnatal mothers seeking maternal and child healthcare at Kakamega level 5 hospital in Kenya: a cross-sectional study Open
Background: Maternal anaemia is a public health problem worldwide, and its aetiology is linked to iron deficiency. The high nutrient demand during pregnancy exacerbates the condition. To meet the increased nutritional demand, supplementati…

Replication Data for: Adherence to Iron and Folic Acid supplementation during pregnancy among postnatal mothers seeking Maternal and Child Healthcare at Kakamega level 5 hospital in Kenya. Open
The data were collected to determine the level of adherence to iron and folic acid during pregnancy. We targeted the postnatal mothers of 0-6 months postdelivery seeking Maternal and Child Health Care at Kakamega level 5 hospital in Kenya.…

Utilization of HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections Prevention Services, and Associated Factors among the Long-Distance Truck Drivers along the Northern Corridor Highway, Kenya Open
Background: Often, long-distance truck drivers’ (LDTDs’) work predisposes them to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) whose outcomes are influenced by access and behavior of seeking sexual health care. Methodology: In this study, we ass…

Frequency of sexual interactions and associated factors among long-distance truck drivers operating along the Northern Corridor Highway, Kenya Open
the frequencies of sexual interactions are likely to be higher among the younger LDTDs, those who spent more than one week on transit, and those who use alcohol and khat, hence a high exposure risk to HIV/STIs among them.

<i>Leptospira</i>spp. seroprevalence in humans involved in a cross-sectional study in Garissa and Tana River Counties, Kenya Open
Introduction Leptospirosis is a neglected bacterial zoonotic infection caused by spirochetes of Leptospira genus. Humans get infected through direct or indirect contact with urine of infected animals or environment. It accounts for more th…

Diagnostic Delay of Tuberculosis in Isiolo Referral Hospital in Kenya: A comparison of associated factors between binary and survival analyses Open
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Early identification of factors associated with delayed TB diagnosis forms an effective strategy for minimising the transmission of the disease in the commu…

Positive association between Brucella spp. seroprevalences in livestock and humans from a cross-sectional study in Garissa and Tana River Counties, Kenya Open
The presence of a Brucella spp.-seropositive animal in a household significantly increased the odds of Brucella spp. seropositivity in humans in that household. Exposure to Brucella spp. of both livestock and humans clustered significantly…
