| paederus (coleoptera: staphylinidae) in uganda. i: outbreaks, clinical effects, extraction and bioassay of the vesicating toxin. | a brief review is made of the extensive, scattered and sometimes conflicting literature concerning outbreaks and effects of the vesicating staphylinid beetles of the genus paederus and their toxin. observations are reported on outbreaks of paederus sabaeus and pachypaederus puncticollis which occurred in uganda in 1961-62 and subsequently. clinical effects seen in kampala are described and a case of ocular involvement is reported in detail. it was found that the cuticle of p. sabaeus must be bro ... | 1975 | 1124963 |
| isolation and genotyping of toxoplasma gondii from ugandan chickens reveals frequent multiple infections. | the genetic make-up of an infecting toxoplasma gondii strain may be important for the outcome of infection and the risk of reactivation of chronic disease. in order to survey the distribution of different genotypes within an area, free-range chickens act as a good model species. in this study 85 chickens were used to investigate the prevalence, genotype and mouse virulence of t. gondii in kampala, uganda. antibodies were detected in 40 chickens, of which 20 had mat-titres of 1:20 or higher and w ... | 2008 | 17892617 |
