Population morphometric variation and condition of Barbus Altianalis (Boulenger 1900) in the River Nile, Lake Edward and Kazinga Channel – Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018-10-12)
This study used morphometric characteristics and fish condition to compare populations of Barbus altianalis from the River Nile, Lake Edward and Kazinga Channel. Morphological variation was determined using multivariate ...
Quantifying the burden of foot and mouth disease in selected districts in Uganda
(2018-12)
One cycle of foot and mouth disease is considered for a susceptible, infected and removed epidemiological model. Analysis of the basic properties of the SIR epidemic model with direct transmission of infection and numerical ...
Organochlorine pesticides in honey and soils from areas surrounding an abandoned store at Masindi District, Western Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018-12-06)
This study determined the concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in soil and honey from areas surrounding an abandoned store at the Masindi District Headquarters. The samples were extracted using solid-liquid ...

(Makerere University, 2018-08)
In Uganda, Lake Victoria is a livelihood of about 40 million people and a home to aquatic life. It is utilized for the different activities like tourism, industry, transport and fisheries. However, it contains substances ...
Isolation and identification of compounds from the leaves of Secamone africana (oliv.) bullock used locally to treat malaria
(2018)
Traditional medicine is an affordable and accessible source of primary health care for treatment of tropical diseases such as malaria. Malaria in developing tropical countries has been treated using preparations of traditional ...
Earthworms as alternative protein ingredient in poultry feed.
(Makerere University, 2018-03-01)
In poultry feed accounts for 70% of the total cost of production hence there is a need to have a high-quality and yet low cost feed. The protein sources used in poultry feeds (Rastrineobola argentea & soy beans) are also ...

This study aimed at developing silicate based catalytic systems for the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into epoxides to form cyclic carbonates. Catalytic activity of selected naturally occurring silicates including: ...
Diversity and distribution of macro-invertebrates associated with Anopheles gambiae breeding habitats in selected villages along River Sezibwa, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018)
Members of the Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) are among the main vectors that carry Plasmodium which causes malaria. Immature stages of the vectors and other associated species share breeding habitats with other ...
A mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and optimal control strategy of Coffee Wilt disease
(2018-10-18)
The main objective of this study was to formulate a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and optimal control strategy of coffee wilt disease (CWD) in Uganda. A deterministic model for the transmission dynamics ...
