Edson Kinimi - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

E. Kinimi is affiliated with the SACIDS Africa Centre of Excellence for Infectious Diseases of Humans and Animals in East and Southern Africa (SACIDS-ACE), which is part of the SACIDS Foundation for One Health at Sokoine University of Agriculture, located in Morogoro, Tanzania. This affiliation highlights their involvement in significant research efforts aimed at understanding and controlling infectious diseases that affect both humans and animals in the region.

Research Contributions

E. Kinimi has made notable contributions to the field of infectious diseases, particularly focusing on the study of viral infections, such as the Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) virus and chikungunya virus, within Tanzania. Their research includes complete genome sequencing, nucleotide amplification, and development of diagnostic tools and therapies targeting PPR virus. Additionally, Kinimi has explored the epidemiology of arboviruses, such as chikungunya, and their co-infection dynamics with malaria among febrile patients. This work is crucial for the development of effective disease management and prevention strategies in the region.
