Determining the prevalence of Trichomonas Vaginalis as a possible marker of inconsistent in condom use
(Makerere University, 2011-05)
A cross sectional study was carried out at Assessment Center, based at Mulago Hospital, to determine the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis as a possible marker of inconsistent condom use among individuals. Its’ specific ...
Biochemical characterisation of water from River Ntabago and implication on water quality and safety
(2011-05)
This study analysed the biological and chemical components characterising water from River Ntabago. The composition of the water determines its quality and affects the lives of aquatic organisms and other water consumers. ...
Performance of rotifer (Brachionus Calyciflorus Pallas) fed on chlorella cultured on locally available nutrient materials
(Makerere University, 2012-10)
Locally available nutrient materials (Cowdung, Soybean extracts and Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)/UREA inorganic fertilizer) were used to prepare culture media for growing Chlorella spp. as a food base for rotifer culture and ...
Discovery and verification of osteopontin and Beta-2-microglobulin as promising markers for staging Human African Trypanosomiasis
(The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2010)
Human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, is a
parasitic disease endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, transmitted
to humans through the bite of a tsetse fly. The first or
hemolymphatic stage of the disease is ...

Varroa mite has been a concern and worry to the bee scientists and beekeepers since it was first discovered in 1904, and continues to be the most serious parasite of honeybees. It causes clinical symptoms on the brood and ...
Heterogeneous biocatalysts for production of biodiesel from waste vegetable oil and effect of crude glycerol on combustion properties of briquettes
(Makerere University, 2017)
The conversion of spent vegetable oils into biodiesel using biocatalysts provides both environment friendly and also innovative ways to manage wastes that would otherwise end in the environment. This study explored the use ...
Response of amphibian communities to forest degradation in Mabira Central Forest Reserve, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2017)
The relationship between amphibian diversity and forest degradation was evaluated in Mabira Forest Reserve, Central Uganda. To achieve this, the study area was classified into three forest categories (i.e. degraded, ...
Spectroscopic analysis of heterogeneous biocatalysts for biodiesel production from expired Sunflower cooking oil
(Hindawi Publishing Company, 2015)
The study characterized heterogeneous biocatalyst synthesized from sucrose, saw dust, and chicken egg shells using Fourier
Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy coupled with Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) technique. ...
