TL;DR: Data indicate common Egyptian fruit bats can represent a major natural reservoir and source of Marburg virus with potential for spillover into humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal Pulses of Marburg Virus Circulation in Juvenile Rousettus aegyptiacus Bats Coincide with Periods of Increased Risk of Human Infection
Brian R. Amman,Serena A. Carroll,Zachary Reed,Tara K. Sealy,Stephen Balinandi,Robert Swanepoel,Alan Kemp,Bobbie R. Erickson,James A. Comer,Shelley Campbell,Deborah Cannon,Marina L. Khristova,Patrick Atimnedi,Christopher D. Paddock,Rebekah J. Kent Crockett,Timothy D. Flietstra,Kelly L. Warfield,Robert C. Unfer,Edward Katongole-Mbidde,Robert Downing,Jordan W. Tappero,Sherif R. Zaki,Pierre E. Rollin,Thomas G. Ksiazek,Stuart T. Nichol,Jonathan S. Towner +25 more
TL;DR: The discovery of two tags at Python Cave from bats marked at Kitaka mine, together with the close genetic linkages evident between viruses detected in geographically distant locations, are consistent with R. aegyptiacus bats existing as a large meta-population with associated virus circulation over broad geographic ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marburgvirus resurgence in Kitaka Mine bat population after extermination attempts, Uganda.
Brian R. Amman,Luke Nyakarahuka,Anita K. McElroy,Kimberly A. Dodd,Tara K. Sealy,Amy J. Schuh,Trevor Shoemaker,Stephen Balinandi,Patrick Atimnedi,Winyi Kaboyo,Stuart T. Nichol,Jonathan S. Towner +11 more
TL;DR: Investigations at Kitaka Mine were stopped when the miners exterminated the bat colony by restricting egress from the cave with papyrus reed barriers and then entangling the bats in fishing nets draped over the exits, so whether 100% extermination was achieved is unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cutaneous Filariasis in Free-Ranging Rothschild's Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) in Uganda
Christopher A. Whittier,Suzan Murray,Kali A. Holder,Sabrina McGraw,Robert C. Fleischer,Nandadevi Cortes-Rodriguez,Peter A. Black,Robert Yordi,Michael Keigwin,Eric Enyel,Patrick Atimnedi +10 more
TL;DR: Filarid parasites and a portion of their genetic sequence associated with skin disease in Rothschild's giraffes in Uganda are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potamochoerus larvatus
Karl Ståhl,Peter Ogweng,Edward Okoth,Tony Aliro,Denis Muhangi,Neil LeBlanc,Patrick Atimnedi,Mikael Berg,Richard P. Bishop,Henrik B. Rasmussen,Charles Masembe +10 more
TL;DR: Results are presented from an ongoing study investigating the role of the bushpig in the epidemiology of ASF at the wildlife-livestock interface, with initial results suggesting a link between the sylvatic and nonsylvatic cycle.
