Abstract:

Malaria infection has been and continues to be a serious public health concern that has mystified many in the public health care industry. One area in Sub Saharan Africa that continues to feel the devastating effects of malaria is in Nairobi, Kenya. This qualitative research study explored the attitudes of women in Nairobi, Kenya and how they view intervention measures already introduced by public health care experts in fighting malaria. The phenomenological research approach used purposeful sampling to recruit 16 women from Nairobi, Kenya to participate in semi-structured, open-ended interviews. The ecological systems theory was used as a lens of analysis to help illuminate the views of women on already-introduced malaria intervention measures in Nairobi, Kenya. Nvivo 10 helped manage data and the interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyze data and identify themes and subthemes through coding. The findings from this study indicate that (a) there is a disconnect within the systems, especially between public health officials and ordinary citizens, and (b) ordinary citizens felt that intervention measures already introduced have not been effectively implemented. The recommendations derived from the study will improve relationships between public health officials and ordinary citizens in order to effectively implement malaria control measures already introduced. This study will benefit public health officials, ordinary citizens in Nairobi, and other health care providers all over the world. This study contributes to social positive change by providing greater insight on already-introduced mosquito intervention measures.

Abstract:

Taenia solium is a zoonotic helminth which is thought to be one of the leading causes of acquired epilepsy in the developing world. T. solium cysticercosis infections in pigs and humans and human taeniasis were diagnosed using antigen-capture ELISAs. The parasite was found to be endemic in the study site, with cysticercosis being detected by HP10 Ag-ELISA in 6.6% of human samples (95% C.I. 5.6-7.8%) and 17.2% (95% C.I. 10.2-26.4%) of porcine samples. Human taeniasis was detected by Copro-Ag ELISA in 19.9% (95% C.I. 18.2-21.8%) of faecal samples. The study site was found to be co-endemic with a large selection of other neglected tropical diseases, including soil transmitted helminthiasis, schistosomiasis, strongyloidiasis and amoebiasis. Potential control measures for this parasite have been modeled and the exclusion of infective pork from the food chain through the use of a pre-slaughter test for pig farmers, traders and slaughtermen was found to have the potential to avoid 72.6% (95% C.I. 62.1-80.9%) of infective meals consumed in the area at an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $0.25 (0.2-0.35). Such a diagnostic tool is currently under development and its performance was evaluated as part of this thesis. The novel, user-friendly lateral flow assay, utilising the HP10 monoclonal antibody, was evaluated using a Bayesian framework and was estimated to perform with a Sensitivity of 82.7% (95% B.C.I. 72.5-91.9%) and Specificity of 87% (95% B.C.I. 80.2-93.4), results which demonstrate the potential utility of this test in epidemiological studies and in control strategies. Free-ranging pig production has been previously demonstrated to be a key risk factor for porcine cysticercosis and is commonly practised in this study region. A study carried out as part of this thesis found that these pigs have a home range of 15,085m2 which is almost 10 times the average area of a homested. This work indicates that pigs can be exposed to infective eggs from any human T. solium carriers within that homerange area, greatly assisting transmission of this parasite. Western Kenya is a severely deprived region where pig production is becoming hugely popular and is seen as a major tool for economic development, yet the data presented in this thesis indicates an area with endemic status for the harmful parasite T. solium, for which effective control strategies are desperately required.

Abstract:

Slaughterhouses are places where animals are slaughtered for food. In developing countries a lack of appropriate facilities and limited resources mean the slaughter industry is poorly regulated. Poor hygiene practices in slaughterhouses can result in the transmission of diseases from animals to people called zoonoses. Slaughterhouse workers are generally considered at increased risk of being exposed to such diseases due to their close contact with animals and animal products. The aims of this study were: to assess the current conditions in slaughterhouses and the knowledge, attitudes and practices of workers in ruminant and pig slaughterhouses in western Kenya; to determine the exposure of slaughterhouse workers to different zoonotic pathogens; to investigate the risk factors associated with exposure to these pathogens and to quantify the risk of zoonotic disease exposure for slaughterhouse workers compared to the general population. Slaughterhouses in western Kenya were visited between May 2011 and October 2012. Seven hundred and thirty-eight workers were recruited from 142 slaughterhouses. Overall, the slaughterhouses lacked facilities, with 65% (95% CI 63–67%) of slaughterhouses having a roof, cement floor and solid sides, 60% (95% CI 57–62%) had a toilet and 20% (95% CI 18–22%) hand-washing facilities. Less than half of workers 32% (95% CI 29–34%) wore personal protective clothing. Antemortem inspection was practiced at 7% (95% CI 6–8%) of slaughterhouses and 18% (95% CI 16–19%) of workers reported slaughtering sick animals. Slaughterhouse workers were screened for five zoonotic diseases. The unadjusted seroprevalence of the zoonotic diseases were: brucellosis 0.1% (95% CI 0.007– 0.8%); leptospirosis 13.4% (95% CI 11.1–16.1%); Q fever 4.5% (95% CI 3.2–6.2%); Rift Valley fever (RVF) 1.2% (95% CI 0.6–2.3%); taeniasis 1.8% (95% CI 1.0– 3.0%); and cysticercosis 2.6% (95% CI 1.7–4.0%). Risk factors for leptospirosis and Q fever were examined by multivariable logistic regression. Risk factors associated with leptospirosis seropositivity included: having wounds (OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.4–5.3); smoking at work (OR 1.8; 95% CI 1.1–3.0); eating at work (OR 2.1; 95% CI 1.2–3.6); and cleaning the intestines (OR 3.8; 95% CI 1.8–8.2). Protective factors were: working at a slaughterhouse where antemortem inspection was performed (OR 0.6; 95% CI 0.4–0.9). The risk factors significantly associated with Q fever seropositivity included: being intoxicated at work (OR 3.2; 95% CI 1.1–9.4). The odds ratio for leptospirosis seropositivity in slaughterhouse workers was determined to be 2.3 (95% CI 1.6–3.4) times that of the community. For Q fever the odds ratio for seropositivity in slaughterhouse workers was 1.9 (95% CI 1.0–3.8) times that of the community. This is the first report of a range of zoonotic pathogens in slaughterhouse workers in Kenya. This study indicated the potential risk factors for zoonotic disease exposure in slaughterhouses. The current working conditions in slaughterhouses in western Kenya are far below the recommended standard. Improvements need to be made to facilities and practices in all slaughterhouses. Training is recommended to improve awareness for workers, managers and inspectors of the risks of zoonotic disease exposure and methods to reduce it.

Gichuhi, S. "Epidemiology and management of ocular surface squamous neoplasia in Kenya." Thesis, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (University of London), 2016. http://researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/2572610/.

Abstract:

Introduction: Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is a spectrum of disease that ranges from noninvasive intra-epithelial dysplasia of the conjunctival and cornea (CCIN), through to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It often presents with unilateral tumours on the eyeball. The tumours may cause blindness, disfigurement and even death. In East Africa, OSSN is relatively common and aggressive, affecting younger adults and proportionally more women than in other parts of the world. The management of OSSN is challenging for various reasons. Its risk factors are not clearly understood. Studies have implicated HIV, human papilloma virus (HPV) and solar radiation however about 30% of cases are HIV-negative while some studies have implicated HPV and others found no association. The importance of vitamin A for a healthy ocular surface is known, yet its role in OSSN has not been studied. Early diagnosis relies on the clinical impression yet OSSN appears similar to other conjunctival tumours and histopathology services are generally unavailable in Africa. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment but recurrence is an issue. There is no trial evidence for the various treatments used in HIV-infected persons. This project was an integrated set of studies to improve our understanding of the epidemiology and management of OSSN in Kenya. Methods: We conducted three systematic reviews on the epidemiology of OSSN in Africa, the pathophysiology of OSSN and updated a Cochrane review on the interventions for OSSN in HIV-infected individuals. Working in four eye care centres in Kenya between July 2012 and July 2015, we conducted the following six studies: (i) clinical assessment of a series of patients with conjunctival lesions to describe OSSN to determine how OSSN may differ clinically from benign lesions, (ii) evaluated vital staining with a special dye called Toluidine Blue (ToB) for making the diagnosis of OSSN, (iii) developed a diagnostic algorithm based on clinical features and vital staining, (iv) conducted a large case-control study to investigate risk factors that may contribute to the development of OSSN, (v) investigated the care-seeking journey of OSSN patients to assess referral pathway and treatment delay, and finally, (vi) conducted a randomised placebo-controlled trial of 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) chemotherapy eyedrops given after surgery to investigate if this can reduce recurrence of the lesions. Results: Meta-analysis of data from cancer registries worldwide showed that Africa has the highest incidence of OSSN in the world with a peak at latitude 160 South and males and females are equally affected, unlike other continents where male disease predominates. Here the agestandardized rate in cases/year /100,000 population (95%CI) is 1.38 (1.00–3.75) and 1.18 (1.08–3.43) in males and females, respectively (p=0.853). Incidence rises with increasing exposure to direct sunlight (2–4 h, OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.2–2.4 and ≥5 h OR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1–3.1) and outdoor occupations (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.1–2.6). Fixed-effect meta-analysis shows a strong association with HIV (6 studies: OR = 6.17, 95% CI: 4.83–7.89) but not cigarette smoking (2 studies: OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 0.94–2.09). HPV shows heterogeneous association (random effects meta-analysis of 7 studies: OR = 2.64, 95% CI: 1.27–5.49). The pathophysiology review concluded that limbal epithelial stem cells are the likely progenitor cells of OSSN. UV radiation probably causes DNA damage via pyrimidine dimers (involving the p53 tumour suppressor gene), photo-immunosuppression and reactivates latent HPV. HPV E6 inhibits p53 gene allowing DNA-damaged cells past the G1-S checkpoint of the cell cycle. HPV E7 inhibits the retinoblastoma (pRB) gene anti-transcription at G1 so infected cells continue replicating. HIV, photo-immunosuppression and vitamin A deficiency may impair tumour surveillance. The Cochrane review found no trials for the interventions used in OSSN in HIV-infected populations. There was one trial in Australia that found topical Mitomycin C (MMC) effective. The results from case series reviewed were difficult to compare. They reported a wide variety of combinations of surgery and adjuvant treatment used during surgery or post operatively; varying doses of adjuvant agents used; different inclusion criteria of patients and recurrences reported at varying periods after treatment. Surgery with adjuvant 5FU or MMC was often associated with recurrences of 11% to 67% about 30 months later. We enrolled 496 adults with any conjunctival lesions requiring excision and 131 controls. OSSN was themost common lesion diagnosed in 187 (38%). Patients with OSSN were slightly older (mean [SD] age, 41 [11.6] vs 38 [10.9] years; p =0.002) and tended to have lower levels of education than patients with benign lesions (p = 0.001). Females predominated (67% of OSSN vs 64% of benign lesions; p = 0.65). HIV infection was common among patients with OSSN (74%). Although some clinical signs were more frequent in OSSN, all OSSN signs were also observed in benign lesions. OSSN and benign conjunctival lesions have overlapping phenotypes and cannot always be reliably distinguished on clinical grounds. The positive predictive value of clinical appearance in identifying OSSN was 54%. Inter-observer agreement was modest (κ= 0.1-0.4). Any blue colour on vital staining with ToB 0.05% had a sensitivity of 92%, specificity of 31%, positive predictive value of 41%, and negative predictive value of 88% for OSSN. Interobserver agreement was substantial for staining (k=0.8) and moderate for overall diagnosis (OSSN or benign) (κ =0.4). Use of ToB caused mild discomfort in 88 (21%) patients; mild superficial punctate keratopathy seen in 7 (1.7%) and no histological evidence of corneal toxicity was observed. ToB had a high rate of false positives (69%). We developed a simple probability-tree clinical algorithm that shows the probability of OSSN with various combinations of clinical features. A multivariable regression model found 8 features strongly associated with OSSN; prior excision, corneal involvement, feeder vessels, dark blue ToB staining, papillary or gelatinous tumour surface, severe inflammation, antiretroviral therapy and temporal or circumlimbal tumours. Using a cut-off of any 3 of these features, the sensitivity was 89%, specificity 50%, and 65%of lesions were correctly classified. This specificity was higher than any blue ToB staining (31%) but lower than clinical photoexamination (60%). A total of 131 cases were frequency-matched to 131 controls by age, sex and eye center. Risk factors for OSSN were HIV infection without antiretroviral therapy (ART) use (OR=48.30; 95%CI 7.53-309.90) and with ART use (OR=19.02; 95%CI 6.55-55.26), longer duration of exposure to the sun in the main occupation (6.9 hrs/day vs. 4.6 hrs/day, OR=1.23; 95%CI 1.08-1.39) and a history of allergic conjunctivitis (OR=80.20; 95%CI 8.62-746.29). Wearing hats was protective (OR=0.21; 95%CI 0.07-0.63). We studied the care-seeking journey followed by 158 new OSSN patients. About half (88/158, [56%]) presented directly to the study centres while the rest were referred. Indirect presenters sought care earlier than direct presenters (median 2.0 months vs 5.5 months) and travelled a shorter distance to the first health facility (median 20km vs 30km) but had surgery later (median 12.5 months vs 5.5 months). Visits beyond the first health facility for indirect presenters markedly increased delay (median 7.3, 29.0, 37.9, and 32.0 months for 1-4 facilities, respectively). Delay was associated with number of health facilities visited (adjusted ordered OR=9.12; 95%CI 2.83-29.4, p<0.001) and being female (adjusted ordered OR=2.42; 95%CI 1.32-4.44, p=0.004). In the randomized placebo-controlled trial we randomly allocated 49 participants to 5FU and 49 to placebo. Four participants were lost to follow-up. Treatment with 5FU was associated with fewer OSSN recurrences: there were 5/47 (10·6%) recurrences in the 5FU arm and 17/47 (36·2%) in the placebo arm (odds ratio 0·21; 95%CI 0·07-0·63, p=0·01). There was little effect from adjusting for passive smoking and antiretroviral therapy imbalance (adjOR=0·23; 95%CI 0·07-0·75, p=0·02). Adverse effects were transient, mild and more frequent with 5FU: ocular discomfort (43 [88%] vs 36 [73%]), epiphora (24 [49%] vs 5 [10%]), and eyelid skin inflammation (7 [14%] vs 0). Conclusions: The clinical impression alone is unreliable for distinguishing OSSN from benign lesions. Toluidine Blue (ToB) staining is less specific and predictive than clinical examination by an Ophthalmologist. However, ToB may be a useful tool for other health care workers, with less ophthalmic training who might be involved in screening patients for the disease, as when there is no staining the disease is unlikely to be malignant. An algorithm that combines clinical features and ToB staining improves the specificity to 50%, is reasonably accurate (65%) for distinguishing OSSN from non-OSSN and shows the probability of disease with various combinations of clinical features. This algorithm cannot replace histopathology. Measures to prevent and control HIV, prevent sun exposure such as wearing hats, and control allergic conjunctivitis are recommended. Referral introduces significant delay before patients receive definitive treatment for OSSN. Women were more likely to experience delay. Despite regular contact with the health system for those with known HIV infection, delays occurred. Training in recognition and referral of OSSN cases, particularly in the HIV service, might lead to shorter delays before presentation. Post-operative topical 5FU substantially reduced recurrence of OSSN, was well-tolerated, and its use recommended in this context.

Abstract:

The spread of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is one of the greatest threats to stability and development in Kenya. The country's infection rate is estimated between seven and eight percent, making it one of the highest in the world. Several studies have been done that examine subpopulations such as truck drivers, sex workers, and migrants. However, to date there is little research that examines who, across the country, is contracting HIV. Kenya's 2003 Demographic and Health Survey includes data that make it possible to determine which groups have the highest odds of being infected. The question of who is contracting HIV in Kenya was examined using a structural violence framework. Proponents of the theory suggest that those marginalized for social or economic reasons in any society are at the highest risk of contracting infectious diseases. Because marginalization occurs in different spheres and to different degrees for men and women, only women were included in the analysis. Logistic regression was used in analyzing the data, with HIV status entered as the dependent variable. While a few of the hypotheses suggested by structural violence were supported by the data, the theory did not provide an adequate explanation for who is contracting the disease. However, the findings do have practical implications regarding who to target when trying to slow the spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract:

Abstract This book chapter tackles the management and economics of east coast fever. At about the time of ILRAD's establishment in 1973, a vaccination procedure was being developed at the East African Veterinary Research Organization (EAVRO) at Muguga, Kenya. The infection-and-treatment method (ITM) is an immunization procedure against ECF. It involves inoculation of live sporozoites of T. parva, usually in the form of a semi-purified homogenate of T. parva-infected ticks, combined with simultaneous treatment with a dose of a long-acting formulation of the antibiotic oxytetracycline. Whilst safe and very effective when administered correctly, production and delivery of this live ECF vaccine is complicated, expensive and time consuming, and at the time of ILRAD's founding, there were doubts as to whether such a procedure was commercially viable. The future for ILRI in the pathology and immunoparasitology of theileriosis will be guided by the vaccine, balanced against the evolving prospects for a subunit vaccine. The future in the epidemiology and economics of ECF management will be developing and evaluating current or novel control methods.
