    Abstract: Lassa virus is transmitted from rodents to humans, but it is not known whether humans can transmit Lassa fever to rats. The virus is thought to spread to humans through contact with contaminated food or surfaces. Other forms of infection include handling rodents for food (people often get rodent blood and urine on their hands) and bites. It can als... Show More

    Abstract: Rice is the thirdly most valued cereal crops in Kenya after maize and wheat. The demand for rice in Kenya has increased greatly over the last few years while production has still remained low. This is because rice production is affected by serious constraints especially rice diseases of which the most threatening is rice blast. Rice blast infection... Show More
