This study isolates and characterizes two novel alphaherpesviruses from fruit bats in Kenya, providing partial genomic data and phylogenetic placement near primate viruses.

This study assesses pyrethroid resistance and kdr mutations in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes from Zika-prone areas in Kenya, finding high resistance to permethrin and associations between specific genotypes and resistance.

This study analyzes genomic diversity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates in Kenya using MLST, NG-MAST, and NG-STAR, identifying novel sequence types and diverse antimicrobial resistance profiles.

The paper identifies mitochondrial DNA variants in Kenyan populations that may influence cancer treatment responses, suggesting their potential relevance for precision oncology.

This study characterizes insect-specific viruses in Aedes aegypti from Kwale County, Kenya, identifying complete and partial genomes of several ISVs.

The paper detects and genetically characterizes West Nile virus in Kenyan mosquitoes, identifies transovarial transmission in Aedes aegypti, and finds lineage-specific evolution and mutations.

This study identifies and genetically characterizes Jingmen tick virus (JMTV) in Kenyan ticks, revealing positive selection, recombination, and zoonotic potential.

This study isolates and characterizes the West Nile virus Koutango lineage from phlebotomine sandflies in Kenya, revealing genetic variations and replication efficiency in mammalian and mosquito cells.

This study uses metagenomics to detect pathogenic bacteria in ticks from Kenya, identifying Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii, and other bacteria with potential human health implications.
