| anaplasmosis in uganda. ii. prevalence of bovine anaplasmosis. | the prevalence of bovine anaplasmosis was studied in 320 zebu cattle randomly selected from three regions of uganda (central, south-western and north-western) using dot-elisa, western immunoblotting, rapid card agglutination test (rcat), capillary tube agglutination test (cat), complement fixation test (cft), and parasitological techniques. dried blood on whatman filter paper no. 1 was eluated in pbs 0.05% tween 20 prior to testing at an initial dilution of 1:25. the incidence of parasitaemia ra ... | 1992 | 1514023 |
| anaplasmosis in uganda. ii. prevalence of bovine anaplasmosis in uganda. | the prevalence of bovine anaplasmosis was studied in 320 zebu cattle randomly selected from three regions of uganda: (central, southwestern and northwestern) using dot-elisa, western immunoblotting, rapid card agglutination test (rcat), capillary tube agglutination test (cat), complement fixation test (cft), and parasitological techniques. dried blood on whatman filter paper no. 1 was eluted in pbs 0.05% tween 20 prior to testing at an initial dilution of 1:25. the prevalences of parasitaemia we ... | 1991 | 1746978 |
| financial analysis of dipping strategies for indigenous cattle under ranch conditions in uganda. | a financial analysis was performed to assess the performance of three acaricide-treatment groups of indigenous breeds (zebu and nganda) of cattle on a ranch in luwero district, uganda. the treatments were based on different frequencies: twice-a-week dipping, once-a-month dipping and no tick control. the objective was to evaluate the economic justification for intensive acaricide application for tick and tick-borne disease control in uganda. data were collected by monitoring cattle performance ov ... | 1998 | 9500178 |
| occurrence of shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli in fecal samples from children with diarrhea and from healthy zebu cattle in uganda. | fecal samples collected from 237 diarrheic infants in kampala, uganda and from 159 healthy cattle from a ranch in the central region of uganda were investigated for the presence of escherichia coli o157 and other types of shiga toxin-producing e. coli (stec). e. coli o157 were not detected in 150 stool samples from children which were cultivated on sorbitol macconkey agar. a search for all types of stec performed on 87 additional human stool samples with an enzyme-immunoassay for shiga toxins (p ... | 2001 | 11407553 |
| drug sensitivity of trypanosome populations from cattle in a peri-urban dairy production system in uganda. | cattle from 50 farms in mukono county, uganda, were monitored for trypanosomes every second month over an 18-month period (1995-1996) by mini-anion exchange chromatography and haematocrit centrifugation techniques. eighteen trypanosome isolates collected from cattle during this period were characterised in cattle, goats and mice for their sensitivity to homidium, isometamidium and diminazene; 10 of the isolates were selected randomly, 8 were from animals that had the highest serum isometamidium ... | 2002 | 12387907 |
| responses to tuberculin among zebu cattle in the transhumance regions of karamoja and nakasongola district of uganda. | responses to tuberculin in zebu cattle of the transhumant pastoral farming system in karamoja region and nakasongola district in the north-eastern and mid-central regions in uganda, respectively, were investigated using a comparative intradermal tuberculin skin test. of the 1864 cattle tested from 30 large units (superherds) in karamoja and 7 herds in nakasongola, a total of 28 animals from 19 herds (51.4%) tested positive. inter-district tuberculin reactor prevalence variations seemed to be inf ... | 2006 | 17137129 |
