Linkage disequilibrium between alleles at highly polymorphic mini- and micro-satellite loci of Theileria parva isolated from cattle in three regions of Kenya por Odongo, David O., Oura, C.A., Spooner, P.R., Kiara, Henry K., Mburu, D., Hanotte, Olivier H., Bishop, Richard P.

“…Linkage disequilibrium was observed between pairs of loci within populations, as in certain Ugandan T. parva populations. A novel observation was that disequilibrium was also detected between alleles at three individual pairs of VNTR loci when isolates from the three regional meta-populations were pooled for analysis.…”

The Impact of Cash and Food Transfers Linked to Preschool Enrollment on Child Nutrition and Cognitive Outcomes por International Food Policy Research Institute

“…Most studies provide only small transfers to children and examine average macro-nutrient effects of the transfer on the treated children, thus it is not surprising that detection of nutritional gains has been minimal.This study is a cluster-randomized evaluation of a school feeding program administered by the World Food Programme in the Northern Ugandan Districts of Lira and Pader. The program provides substantially larger food rations than most programs (representing 1/3 of children's daily caloric needs and 99% of iron intake requirements).The key research objectives are:Impact on the treated: Assess the effectiveness of the program at improving nutritional status, education and cognitive and learning outcomes for school-age children, with particular attention to the anemia status of older school-age girls .Impact on untreated but nutritionally vulnerable sub-groups: Assess the effectiveness of the program at reducing anemia prevalence in mothers and younger siblings.Optimal program design: Assess the differential impacts of a program in which children are fed at school compared with one in which they are given dry rations to bring home.…”

The epidemiology of animal bite injuries in Uganda and projections of the burden of rabies por Fèvre, Eric M., Kaboyo, R.W., Persson, V., Edelsten, M., Coleman, P.G., Cleaveland, S.

“…If a complete course of PET is required for protection following a rabid animal bite, up to 210 (95% CI 115–359) deaths would occur, as 41% of patients did not complete their course of PET.Conclusions  Active animal bite surveillance studies are required to improve our mortality estimates and determine the true burden of rabies in the Ugandan population. We emphasize the need for small‐scale active case detection studies and improved data on the recognition of rabies in dogs as inputs for improving national‐level estimates of rabies mortality.…”
