| characterization by isoenzyme electrophoresis of trypanozoon stocks from sleeping sickness endemic areas of south-east uganda. | an epidemic of sleeping sickness, which started in 1976 in a focus within the county of luuka in central busoga, has spread to cover the three districts of busoga and large parts of the neighbouring districts of tororo and mukono. forty-three isolates of the subgenus trypanozoon from busoga and tororo (27 from man, 9 from cows, 2 from pigs and 5 from tsetse flies) were compared by thin-layer starch-gel electrophoresis for seven enzymes. thirty zymodemes were identified; 17 of them were found cir ... | 1992 | 1464150 |
| the prevalence of trypanosomosis in small ruminants and pigs in a sleeping sickness endemic area of buikwe county, mukono district, uganda. | a survey of trypanosomosis in goats, sheep and pigs was carried out in buikwe county, mukono district of south eastern uganda between april and august 1994. infection rates of 8.8% in 204 goats, 26.7% in 60 sheep and 32.4% in 68 pigs of all ages and both sexes were recorded. trypanosoma brucei parasites were found in goats and pigs, t. congolense in sheep and pigs and t. vivax in goats and sheep. infection rates were similar in both sexes of animal species and it was observed that t. vivax cause ... | 1996 | 8881420 |

| risk factors for kaposi's sarcoma: a case-control study of hiv-seronegative people in uganda. | as part of a larger investigation of cancer in uganda, we conducted a case-control study of kaposi's sarcoma in human immunodeficiency virus-1 (hiv)-seronegative adults presenting at hospitals in kampala. cases comprised 117 hiv-seronegative patients with kaposi's sarcoma and controls comprised 1,282 hiv-seronegative patients with a provisional diagnosis of cancer other than kaposi's sarcoma. study participants were interviewed about social and lifestyle factors, tested for hiv and, if there was ... | 2003 | 12455038 |
| domestic animals as reservoirs for sleeping sickness in three endemic foci in south-eastern uganda. | the persistence of sleeping sickness (human african trypanosomiasis) in some areas of south-eastern uganda has necessitated further investigations, focusing mainly on domestic animals as reservoirs of this disease in three agro-ecological zones. the inter-zone differences in the prevalences of trypanosome infection among cattle (p < 0.001) and pigs (p < 0.001) were significant. overall, 5.0% of the cattle, 13.9% of the pigs and 0.4% of the small ruminants investigated were found to be infected w ... | 2003 | 12803870 |
| prevalence and associated risk factors of mycobacterial infections in slaughter pigs from mubende district in uganda. | to date, the public health relevance of mycobacterial infections in pigs is not well investigated despite high risk of infection. recently, there has been a documented increase in opportunistic infections and risk of acquiring opportunistic mycobacterial infections in hiv/aids patients in mubende district; unfortunately, there has been no published information on the epidemiology of mycobacterial infections in this area. this study was carried out between september 2008 and february 2009. invest ... | 2010 | 20012691 |
