RESEARCH UNDERTAKEN

1. Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (2015-2018)

The aim is to obtain a proof-of-principle and provide design specifications and an

implementation plan for a sustainable, integrated surveillance system in humans and livestock
for endemic and emerging zoonoses in western Kenya. Baseline data will be obtained on
zoonotic disease burdens and develop a quantitative understanding of the impact of the
demographic, economic and social changes that are taking place in the smallholder livestock
sector in the Lake Victoria basin on the epidemiology of zoonoses. This system is intended to be
a model for a national program in Kenya and beyond, demonstrating the practicality and public
health benefits of effective surveillance for zoonoses.
2. Environmental and Social Ecology of Human Infectious Diseases (2012 -
2017
The project measure, map, monitor and mitigate drivers of the emergence of zoonotic and food-
borne diseases through an expert-informed and stakeholder-led plan for tackling urban zoonoses
in a One World One Health / Ecohealth framework. The project will facilitate a participatory
prioritization of zoonoses based on rapid generation of evidence with communities in 3 key
urban sub-ecosystems (city slums & dumps; peri-urban livestock production and associated
value chains; and, areas of wildlife, livestock and human interactions); produce a map of 'health
factors" showing how ecological, social, economic and policy factors influence vulnerability of
citizens to priority zoonoses. This is based on a conceptual framework developed in ecohealth
urban agriculture projects by project partners and others; develop scenarios to understand how
biogeophysical and other change is likely to play on the health factors that influence the priority
zoonoses and what this means for the trends in zoonoses and critical control points for better
managing them; facilitate a coalition of local stakeholders relevant to urban zoonoses control
(including community, researchers, public and private sector) and stakeholders from advanced
research institutes in the UK and elsewhere with expertise in understanding and managing
zoonoses and produce an action plan led by local stakeholders but informed by experts and rapid
assessments in vulnerable communities on how to tackle priority zoonoses in the short and

medium term. The project is a collaborative effort between a number of universities, research
institutes in Kenya and Europe. It is funded by the Medical Research Council consortium.

3. Africa Food Project 2011 -2015

The project is funded by Ministry of Foreign Affairs Finland through the CGIAR centres to the
tune of 10M Euros. The project will address mitigations of aflatoxin contamination of milk value
chain by mapping feed flows and associated aflatoxin risks associated with feed. Devise new
technologies of detection of the aflatoxin in milk and feeds as well as addressing the economic
effects of aflatoxin in the milk value chain.

4. Capacity building to improve food safety in the feed-dairy Chain : 2010-2013

A project on strengthening capacity in hazard identification, risk assessment and communication
in the feed –dairy chain in respect to biological contaminants (Aflatoxins, fumonisins and
antimicrobials). This project is a collaborative study with KARI, Egerton University and MTT
(AgriFood Research Institute, Finland) and EVIRA(Finnish Food Safety Authority). The project
targets to determine the biological contaminants levels in animal feeds, milk and milk products,
human exposure (pregnant mothers and children under 3 years) and Mycoflora diversity and
their mycotoxigenic potential in the bench mark sites. Mitigation measures and technology
application to minimize mycotoxin production and effects will be tested, up and out scaled.
Project is funded by Finnish Government

5. Safe food Fair Food 2007-2010

Building capacity to improve the safety of animal source foods and ensure continued market
access for poor farmers in sub Saharan Africa. A collaborative project covering 7 countries in
Africa, ILRI, and German Institutes. Our thrust in proof of concept studies has been on
contamination of beef carcasses from 3 local slaughterhouses with E. coli O157:H7. Project was
funded by BMZ/GTZ Germany.

6. Assessment of health risks associated with untreated wastewater reuse for

agriculture 2008-2009
Quality of wastewater used in urban agriculture was assessed using WHO/FAO guidelines,
presence of parasitic eggs/worms/protozoa and treamatodes, Vibrio cholera, S. typhi and
microbial quality of vegetables grown using untreated waste water. Our results show low
contamination at farm but along the market value chain contamination increases with increased
in handling. Project was funded by IDRC-Canada

7.Aflatoxin B1 and M1 in animal feeds and Milk obtained from urban producers
in four urban centres in Kenya. 2006- 2007

Studies were carried out in Nairobi, Nakuru, Nyeri, Machakos and Eldoret. Seventy two
percent (315/439) of the milk from dairy farmers, 84% (71/85) from large and medium scale
farmers and 99% (88/89) of the pasteurized marketed milk were positive for aflatoxin M1, and
20%, 35% an 31% of positive milk from dairy farmers, medium and large scale farmers and

Prof. E. K. Kang’ethe

market outlets respectively, exceeded the WHO/FAO levels of 0.05µ g/Kg-1. Project was funded
by IDRC,

8.Health risks associated with Cryptosporidiosis in urban smallholder dairy

production in Dagoretti Kenya.2006-2008

Risk analysis approach was used to assess the likelihood exposure to Crypto along the pathways
in the housed. Vegetables were the most likely exposure routes if eaten raw and unwashed.
HIV/AIDS patients though handling livestock were not found to be at any greater risk than other
family members. C. parvum, C. rynae, C undersoni and C. hominis were isolated from cattle.
Project was funded by IDRC.

9.Assessing health risks and benefits associated with urban agriculture 2005-
2006
Assessment of health risks associated with livestock production systems especially dairy farming
in urban set ups was carried out in Dagoretti Division funded by IDRC. Health risks assessed
included E. coli O157:H7, Mycobacterium bovis, antibiotic residues, Cryptosporidiosis,
Aflatoxin M1 and B1 and Bovine brucellois. The prevalence of AFM1 in milk was found to be
45.5% (178/391). The farmer prevalence was 43.5% (112/257), while that of non-farmer was
49.2% (66/134). There was however no statistical significant difference between the two
categories. Of the 178 positive milk samples, 49% had aflatoxin levels exceeding 0.05mg Kg-1.
The prevalence of AFB1 in the feed was found to be 98.6% (69/70) with 83% of the samples
having aflatoxin B1 levels exceeding 10mg Kg -1. Only one feed sample had no traces of AFB1.
Project funded by IDRC

10. Assessing and managing milk borne health risks for the benefit of consumers
in Kenya (1997-2000).
Liberalization of milk marketing in Kenya meant introduction of new players who were not
pasteurising milk (informal system). This brought out fears of health hazards due to milk borne
zoonoses, mainly brucellosis, tuberculosis, E.coli 0157:H7 and hazards due to antibiotic residues
and selling of milk of unacceptable quality. The study was undertaken to assess these hazards
and suggest ways of managing the risks if at all they exist. The project was funded by DFID. It
was a collaborative study between the Ministry of livestock, ILRI and university of Nairobi.

11. Agro-ecosystem health approach to management of farming systems and

development. 1998 -2001

This involved participatory action research with the communities in order for the communities to
own and spearhead their own development agendas. This approach has been tested in Kiambu
district of Kenya with commendable success. Projects with similar approach using EASH have
been carried out in Uganda and Zambia with great success. Project funded by IDRC.

12. Prevalence and Control of Parasitic Zoonoses related to Meat.1995- 1997

Ante mortem diagnoses of bovine cysticercosis using antibodies to secretory glycoproteins in the
sera of infected cattle have been validated in experimentally and naturally infected cattle. The
test was able to detect infection with the cysts of T. saginata 7 weeks post infection in
experimentally infected animals and 14 cysts in this group as opposed to 2 cysts in naturally
infected animals. This was a collaborative work between CTVM- Edinburgh University, KARI
and University of Nairobi.

13. Epidemiological investigations of vector borne zoonosis using insect blood

meal analysis.1991- 1995
Vector borne zoonoses have invariably reservoir hosts where the pathogen multiplies without
causing disease. Identification of the blood meals of disease vectors using enzyme
immunoassays helps in the epidemiological study of the disease and plan methods of the control
of both the vector and the reservoir host to minimise disease in the humans. Species specific
conjugates to 34 animal species (ruminants, birds and reptiles) have been prepared for insect
blood meal analyses. A study of blood meal sources of Glossina pallidipes and Glossina
longipennis in Nguruman showed that blood meals were obtained from wildlife and rarely from
cattle. Ostrich was found to be a new source not reported before.Project funded by EU and
World Bank in ICIPE.

14. Slaughter hygiene 1991-1992.

Shelf life of meat greatly depends on the level of contamination after slaughter. In countries
where refrigeration is not maintained throughout the marketing chain bacteria proliferation
occurs rendering the meat spoilt. Understanding of the hygiene of meat slaughter and the level of
contamination at every stage of slaughter process would help to improve on the slaughter process
and eventually prolong the shelf life. A survey of 3 slaughterhouses around Nairobi has shown
that contamination is high and the relevant authorities need to take action in order to minimize
this and prolong shelf life.Project funded by NORAD.

15. Speciation of Meat Species.

Species identification of the origin of meat is important so as to diagnose fraudulent substitution
of cheaper species of meat for more expensive meats, and also help to identify wild life species
from domestic in order to protect endangered from protected and domestic animals. This is
imperative because meat eating habits change from community to community, for reasons of
health culture and or religion. This has been achieved using enzyme immunoassays to heat stable
muscle antigens allowing speciation of fresh, cooked, canned meat and meat products. Project
funded by NORAD and NCS&T Kenya.
