Habitat utilization and reproductive biology of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus) in Albert Nile, Nebbi District
(Makerere University, 2009-12)
Some aspects of habitat utilization (distribution, abundance, size classes, condition factor) and reproductive biology (sex ratio, size at first maturity, fecundity) of O. niloticus were examined in Albert Nile in Nebbi ...
The molecular biology of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine drug resistance of plasmodium falciparum strains in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2007-08)
In November of 2000, Uganda changed its anti-malarial policy to replace chloroquine (CQ) with a combination of CQ and sulphadoxine–pyrimethamine (SP) as the first line agents. The idea of the combination was to delay the ...
Iodisation of Lake Katwe salt, Kasese District
(Makerere University, 2009-11)
The raw rock salt was analysed for chemical composition, refined and then iodised. The selected species determined are those known to hinder iodine retention in edible salt, namely; sulphates 20.7 % w/w, carbonates 31.7 % ...
Biogeographical examination of the butterfly fauna in selected West Albertine Rift Forests
(Makerere University, 2009-09)
This study was conducted with the main aim of evaluating the factors that may influence butterfly species richness and distribution (i.e. forest size, altitude, forest disturbance, average rainfall, temperature and distance ...
Biomass and hydropower potential and demand in the Uganda Albertine Rift Region
(Makerere University, 2006-08)
This study assessed the hydropower potential in the Albertine Rift Region and suggested electricity as an alternative to reduce the pressure on biomass. Hydrological and topographical conditions of the region were analyzed ...
The effects of fire on the regeneration of acacia species in Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2009-06)
The thesis investigated the effect of fire on the regeneration of Acacia species in Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda. The mechanism that cause the effects and the manner in which the effects are influenced by fire are ...
Role of Acacia and Erythrina trees in forest regeneration by vertebrate seed dispersers in grasslands of Kibale National Park, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2009-09)
The central question of this study was ‘Do fire-resistant savanna trees such as Acacia sieberiana and Erythrina abyssinica and frugivorous vertebrates influence forest regeneration in the fire-prone grasslands of Kibale ...

Commicarpus plumbagineus Standl. (Nyctaginaceae) is a traditional medicinal plant used to treat a variety of diseases including urinary tract infections, prevention of miscarriages, purification and improvement of blood ...
Characterization of selected pesticide residues in sediments of the Ugandan side of Lake Victoria
(Makerere University, 2009-06)
This study investigated the role of biogeochemical processes in influencing bio-availability and biodegradation of selected pesticides in Lake Victoria. Due to the hydrophobicity nature of most pesticides, sediments which ...
