THE PERFORMANCE OF BLOOD DIRECT AFRICAN SWINE FEVER POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION DIAGNOSTIC METHOD IN AN ENDEMIC SETTING
(2019)
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral swine disease. It’s lethality rates range between 90-100% in the affected animals. ASF outbreaks cause severe financial constraints for traders and farmers of swine. ...

(Makerere University, 2019-12)
This study determined the levels of organochlorine pesticides in blood and placenta tissues of mothers from Kanungu District (N=26) and Kampala Capital City (KCC) (N=26). Samples for Kanungu District were collected from ...
Characterization of Reservoir Properties for the Kisegi Formation in Semliki Basin, Albertine Graben, Western Uganda using Rock Physics Diagnostics
(Makerere University, 2019-11-22)
The quality of a reservoir rock is a fundamental input in evaluating its productivity during exploration and appraisal. Therefore, attempts to characterize the formation using rock physics diagonostic ...
Efficacy of selected chemical and biological binders in reducing aflatoxin concentrations in poultry feeds
(Makerere University, 2018-12-04)
To support the massive increase in poultry production in Uganda, there is need to improve the quality of feed in terms of nutrient composition and absence of harmful and toxic materials. Feed can be contaminated by aflatoxins ...
The effects of PMD in buried and aerial single mode and polarization maintaining fibers and performance of direct and external modulation techniques at high speed data rate
(Makerere University, 2019-06)
Optical fiber transmission is greatly affected by dispersion and in this study, we experimentally investigate angular displacement and speed of state of polarization in Single Mode Fibers (SMF) and Polarization Maintaining ...
The ecology of enteric bacterial transmission among apes, humans, and livestock in Bwindi Impenetrable and Kibale National Parks, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2011-11)
The problem of disease transmission between apes and humans has been a subject of great concern, but few studies have examined this from an ecological perspective, or confirmed transmission using genetic methods. The main ...
