TL;DR: Nodding Syndrome appears to be increasing in Uganda since 2000 with 2009 parish prevalence as high as 46 cases per 1,000 5- to 15-year old children, and nutritional deficiencies and toxic exposures as possible etiologies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed available cholera surveillance data from Uganda and assessed the sufficiency of these data to inform country-specific strategies for cholwater vaccination, and estimated that an average of about 11,000 cases occurred in Uganda each year, which led to approximately 61-182 deaths.

TL;DR: The wide geographical case dispersion as well as the male and older age preponderance suggests transmission during the yellow fever outbreak was largely sylvatic and related to occupational activities around forests.

TL;DR: In addition to improvements in water, sanitation, and hygiene, oral cholera vaccines could play an important role in the prevention and control of these outbreaks, particularly when targeted to high-risk areas and populations.
