Journal ArticleDOI

The emergence of Taenia solium cysticercosis in Eastern and Southern Africa as a serious agricultural problem and public health risk.

Isaac K. Phiri, +18 more
- 01 Jun 2003 - 
TL;DR: The current findings suggest the widespread presence of human tapeworm carriers and thus a high risk of human cysticercosis in both rural areas and urban centres in the ESA region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of a reverse line blot assay to the study of haemoparasites in cattle in Uganda.

C.A.L. Oura, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2004 - 
TL;DR: A reverse line blot (RLB) assay, which simultaneously detects the principal tick transmitted protozoan and rickettsial cattle pathogens, in different epidemiological scenarios in Uganda, highlights the complexity of tick-borne pathogen infections in cattle in Uganda.
Journal ArticleDOI

A panel of microsatellite and minisatellite markers for the characterisation of field isolates of Theileria parva.

C.A.L. Oura, +5 more
- 01 Dec 2003 - 
TL;DR: The identification of a panel of 11 polymorphic microsatellites and 49 polymorphic minisatellites of the protozoan haemoparasite Theileria parva is described, indicating a high level of diversity in a single population of T. parva.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population genetic analysis and sub-structuring of Theileria parva in Uganda.

C.A.L. Oura, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2005 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of linkage disequilibrium between pairs of loci provides evidence that the population in Lira district had an epidemic structure and Genetic distances and Wrights fixation index (F(ST)) indicate that there is evidence for geographical sub-structuring between the Lira and the Kayunga populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification with Oligochromatography for Detection of Trypanosoma brucei in Clinical Samples

Claire M. Mugasa, +6 more
- 01 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: A simplified technique, oligochromatography (OC), was developed for the detection of amplification products of T. brucei 18S rRNA by NASBA and showed no reaction with nontarget pathogens or with blood from healthy controls.
