Francisco Olea-Popelka,Adrian Muwonge,Alejandro Perera,Anna S. Dean,Elizabeth Mumford,Elisabeth Erlacher-Vindel,Simona Forcella,Benjamin J. Silk,Lucica Ditiu,Ahmed El Idrissi,Mario C. Raviglione,Ottorino Cosivi,Philip A. LoBue,Paula I. Fujiwara +13 more
TL;DR: The burden of zoonotic tuberculosis in people needs important reassessment, especially in areas where bovine tuberculosis is endemic and where people live in conditions that favour direct contact with infected animals or animal products.

Clovice Kankya,Adrian Muwonge,Berit Djønne,Musso Munyeme,J. Opuda-Asibo,E. Skjerve,James Oloya,Vigdis Edvardsen,Tone B Johansen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the INNO-Lipa test and 16S rDNA sequencing to identify and isolate NTM in the environment of pastoral communities in Uganda, as well as assess the potential risk factors and the public health significance of NTM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Q fever abortions in ruminants and associated on-farm risk factors in northern Cyprus
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of Q fever abortion using a PCR based method on DNA isolated from aborted foetal abomasal contents and placental tissues from ruminants in northern Cyprus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of non-tuberculous mycobacteria from pastoral ecosystems of Uganda: Public Health significance
Clovice Kankya,Clovice Kankya,Adrian Muwonge,Berit Djønne,Musso Munyeme,Musso Munyeme,J. Opuda-Asibo,E. Skjerve,James Oloya,Vigdis Edvardsen,Tone B Johansen +10 more
TL;DR: The study detected a wide range of potentially pathogenic NTM from the environment around the pastoral communities in Uganda, and found drinking untreated water and living in close contact with cattle or other domestic animals may be risk factors associated with the possibility of humans and animals acquiring NTM infections from these ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knowledge of Bovine Tuberculosis, Cattle Husbandry and Dairy Practices amongst Pastoralists and Small-Scale Dairy Farmers in Cameroon
Robert Kelly,Robert Kelly,Saidou M. Hamman,Kenton L. Morgan,Egbe F Nkongho,Victor Ngu Ngwa,Vincent N. Tanya,Walters N. Andu,Melissa Sander,Lucy M. Ndip,Ian Handel,Stella Mazeri,Adrian Muwonge,Barend M. de C. Bronsvoort +13 more
TL;DR: Current cattle husbandry practices make the control of bTB in cattle challenging especially in mobile pastoralist herds, and prevention of transmission in milk offers the best approach for human risk mitigation in Cameroon but requires strategies that improved risk awareness amongst producers and consumers.
