Abstract Background The incidence of cervical cancer in Kenya is among the highest in the world.Few Kenyan women are able to access screening, thus fueling the high cervical cancer burden.Self-collected human papilloma Virus (HPV) tests, administered during community-health campaigns in rural areas may be a way to expand access to screening.Methods
Local Modulation of Host pH by Colletotrichum Species as a Mechanism to Increase Virulence
The phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides produces one pectate lyase (PL) that is a key virulence factor in disease development.During growth of C.gloeosporioides, Colletotrichum acutatum, COD LIVER OIL and Colletotrichum coccodes in acidified yeast extract medium, the fungus secreted ammonia and increased the medium pH.Ammonia accu
