Seroprevalence and risk factors for exposure of free-range poultry to avian influenza viruses in important bird areas in Uganda.
(2014)
Avian influenza (AI) viruses cause disease in domestic and wild bird species. Although these viruses have been
reported to occur in poultry in Uganda, risk factors for their introduction and spread were largely unknown. ...
Genetic analysis of Influenza B viruses isolated in Uganda during the 2009–2010 seasons.
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Influenza B viruses can cause morbidity and mortality in humans but due to the lack of an animal
reservoir are not associated with pandemics. Because of this, there is relatively limited genetic sequences ...
High pathogenicity and low genetic evolution of avian paramyxovirus type I (Newcastle disease virus) isolated from live bird markets in Uganda.
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background: Newcastle disease is still a serious disease of poultry especially in backyard free-range production
systems despite the availability of cross protective vaccines. Healthy-looking poultry from live bird markets ...
Prevalence of bovine abortion in selected areas of central Uganda
(East African Agricultural and Forestry Journal, 2003)
A survey of the prevalence of bovine abortion was carried out in the area covered by the Ambulatory clinic of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Makerere University. Data was collected from 100 selected farmers using a self ...
A situation analysis of priority farm enterprises and technology adoption status in the South West highlands of Uganda
(2009-07-07)
The study was motivated by the fact that despite availability of technologies capable of solving farmers’ constraints, adoption of relevant technology has been insufficient to address the constraints. Situations of low and ...
Effects of repeated freeze-thawing of bovine epididymal sperm on vitro embryo development
(INABSTA18, 2010)
Successfully refreezing thawed semen could have important benefits to future animal reproductive technologies. Being able to refreeze mammalian sperm could improve chances for fertilization when sperm are cryopreserved in ...
Bovine trypanomiasis in South-Western Uganda: packed-cell volumes and prevalence of infection in the cattle.
(Animals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, 2004)
Following confirmed cases of trypanosomiasis (‘nagana’) and reports of trypanosome-attributable deaths among local cattle, a cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of bovine infection with ...
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense Transmitted by a Single Tsetse Fly Bite in Vervet Monkeys as a Model of Human African Trypanosomiasis
(Public Library of Science, 2008-05)
We have investigated the pathogenicity of tsetse (Glossina pallidipes)-transmitted cloned strains of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense in vervet monkeys. Tsetse flies were confirmed to have mature trypanosome infections by ...
Research – extension – farmer linkage system in the dairy sector in South-Western Uganda
(2011)
The study was conducted in South-western Uganda in the districts of Mbarara, Kabale and Kisoro to analyze the research – extension – farmer linkage system with the key focus on the dairy sector. Cross sectional survey ...
