Molecular characterization of Newcastle Disease Virus in domestic poultry in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2013-06)
Newcastle disease caused by Newcastle disease virus continues to be a threat to the poultry industry worldwide. The disease has become more pronounced in resource constrained households that rely on backyard poultry system ...
Performance of two commercial immunochromatographic assays for rapid detection of antibodies specific to human immunodeficieny virus types 1 and 2 in serum and urine samples in a rural community-based research setting (Rakai, Uganda)
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-06)
Rapid detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies is of great importance in developing and developed countries to diagnose HIV infections quickly and at low cost. In this study, two new immunochromatographic ...
Antimicrobial resistance and presence of class 1 integrons in salmonella serovars isolated from clinical cases of animals and humans in North Dakota and Uganda.
(OMICS, 2013)
Back ground: Salmonellae are one of the leading causes of food borne illness worldwide and have been used
as indicator organisms for studying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends. In the United States, Salmonella are
among ...
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 ...
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 ...
Comparison of reverse line blot and β-tubulin targeted nested pcr techniques in the detection of tick-borne heamoparasites of ruminants
(2010-04)
In this study, Reverse Line Blot assay and Beta-tubulin targeted nested PCR were compared in detection of tick-borne piroplasms in areas around L.Mburo in Western Uganda. A total of 300 blood samples were collected from ...
