Detection Of Fecal Coliforms In Water Used In Formal And Informal Food Outlets In Kasungu District, Malawi

Chavura, Elton; Kapute, Fanuel; Mbakaya, Balwani Chingatichifwe (European Scientific Journal (ESJ), 2021-01-31)

Poor sanitary practices are common amongst many food handlers posing a health risk to consumers. Maintenance of high quality water is one of the most important aspects of ensuring consumer safety. Therefore, regular ...
The Effect of Improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene on Linear Growth Amongst Children Living in Developing Countries: A Systematic Review

Chavura, Elton; Singini, Wales; Chidya, Russel; Mbakaya, Balwani Chingatichifwe (European Scientific Journal, 2022-09-30)

Constant exposure to poor water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) contribute to environmental enteric dysfunction; a disorder that is frequently implicated as a cause of linear growth failure. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy ...
Combined Effect of Co-trimoxazole Prophylaxis and Safe Water on Diarrhea amongst HIV-Exposed Infants and People Living with HIV/AIDS: A Systematic Review

Chavura, Elton; Singini, Wales; Chidya, Russel; Mbakaya, Balwani Chingatichifwe (European Scientific Journal, 2023-03-31)

Aim: Irrespective of co-trimoxazole prophylaxis, diarrhea among HIV-exposed infants (HEI) and people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) remains unacceptably high. We aimed to determine the combined effect of improved water ...
Immunological Responses to Helminths and HIV-1 Co-Infections

Chavura, Elton; Singini, Wales; Chidya, Russel; Mbakaya, Balwani Chingatichifwe (European Scientific Journal, 2023-03-31)

Aim: Helminth infections result from poor sanitation. We evaluated the effect of helminth infections on HIV disease progression through the monitoring of 2 outcomes: (1) plasma HIV-1 RNA Viral load (VL) and (2) Cluster of ...
A review of heavy metals in soil and aquatic systems of urban and semi-urban areas in Malawi with comparisons to other selected countries

Chidya, Russel Chrispine Garvin; Kaonga, Chikumbusko Chiziwa; Kosamu, Ishmael BobbyMphangwe; Lakudzala, Deliwe Dinah; Mbewe, Rex; Thole, Benard; Monjerezi, Morris; Kuyeli, Stephen; Sajidu, Samson Mkali Idruss (Academic Journals, 2017-09)

Growth of cities in developing countries comes with increasing transportation and industrial activities which may contribute to accumulation of heavy metals in the environment. This paper provides a review of studies on ...
A Qualitative Study of NIMBYism for Waste in Smaller Urban Areas of a Low-Income Country, Mzuzu, Malawi

Holm, Rochelle H.; Chunga, Brighton A.; Mallory, Adrian; Hutchings, Paul; Parker, Alison (Sage, 2021)

When waste management infrastructure is built, there can be resistance from the local affected populations, often termed the Not in My Backyard (NIMBY) phenomenon. This study aims to understand the forms of resistance ...
WaSim model for subsurface drainage design using soil hydraulic parameters estimated by pedotransfer functions

Malota, Mphatso; Mchenga, Joshua; Chunga, Brighton Austin (Springer, 2022)

The agricultural drainage engineering community is steadily shifting the design of subsurface drainage systems from the experience-based design approach to the simulation-based design approach. As with any design problem, ...
Environmental and social consequences for moving beyond archaic legislation and policy: delay and disjoint in water governance, Malawi

Chunga, Brighton A.; Kusi-Appiah, Andy; Masangano, Clement; Mwamsamali, Oswald K. (IWA Publishing, 2022)

As in many sub-Saharan African countries with increasing demand for natural resources, how to move from archaic water legislation to new and up-to-date policies that cover both environmental and social consequences of ...
Modelling mid-span water table depth and drainage discharge dynamics using DRAINMOD 6.1 in a sugarcane field in Pongola, South Africa

Malota, Mphatso; Senzanje, A (African journals online, 2015)

Determining optimal subsurface drainage design parameters through monitoring of water table depth (WTD) and drainage discharge (DD) at various combinations of drain depth and spacing is expensive, both in terms of time and ...
