African trypanosomes are extracellular flagellate haemoprotozoan parasites responsible for human sleeping sickness and related diseases in livestock. During their life cycle these parasites undergo morphological and physiological changes that require activation and repression of genes controlling...

Antimicrobial agents are used widely in veterinary and human medicine worldwide. However, their use has suffered a major setback globally due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in a wide range of microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of AMR in household mi...

The livelihoods of millions of Ugandan farmers have been threatened by current outbreak of a banana bacterial wilt disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, which is very destructive and rapidly spreading in Uganda. Bananas are the highest value staple food and source of income for...

Risk assessments related to use of water and safety of fresh produce originate from both water and food microbiology studies. Although the set-up and methodology of risk assessment in these 2 disciplines may differ, analysis of the current literature reveals some common outcomes. Most of these st...

Cowpea is an important protein source for human populations in many nations across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, cowpea production is constrained by bacterial blight (CoBB) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vignicola (Xav), a disease affecting most cowpea-growing areas. A large proportion...
Cowpea diseases induced by various pathogenic groups (fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and parasitic flowering plants) constitute one of the most important constraints to cowpea production in all agroecological zones where the crop is grown. This paper presents an overview of the major resear...
