The aim of this study was to characterize serotypes, phenotypic antimicrobial resistance patterns, and plasmid profiles of 55 Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica isolates in different matrices from 77 pork outlets in Kampala, Uganda. Seven different serovars were identified, namely Enteritidis (6...

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an acute mosquito-borne viral zoonosis whose outbreaks are often associated with prolonged rainfall and flooding, during which large numbers of vectors emerge. Recent studies into the inter-epidemic maintenance of RVF virus (RVFV) suggest that both vertical transmission...

Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is an acute mosquito-borne viral zoonosis that causes cyclical epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa, with recent incursions into the Arabian Peninsula. Outbreaks of RVF are associated with above average rainfall and flooding, in which large numbers of vectors emerge. Recent stu...

Pig production is an emerging agribusiness in Eastern Africa but baseline information
on pig diseases including zoonoses is still scarce. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii
does not usually present with clinical signs in pigs, yet it is considered an important
source of human infection when pork co...

The occurrence of porcine Toxoplasma gondii infections in smallholder production systems in Uganda
Of all East African countries, Uganda boasts the highest pork consumption at 3.4 kg
per capita per year (2011). Yet, there is little documentation how pork is produced,
marketed and consumed, or on the implications this may have on public health. Up to
70% of produced pork is estimated to be cons...

Knowledge, attitudes and practices among customers at pork butcheries in Kampala, Uganda
Pig production has only recently become a popular income-generating activity among smallholder farmers in Uganda; over the past 30 years, pig numbers have increased by a tenfold and pork consumption in East Africa is highest in Uganda. Pigs are not a traditional livestock species to Uganda and li...

Antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella enterica in pork and vegetable servings at pork joints in Kampala, Uganda
Food-borne diseases such as salmonellosis are a major cause of human gastroenteritis worldwide, especially in the developing world due to poor sanitary conditions. Flies feed on food and breed in feces and other organic material. As such they are known vectors of Salmonella spp. Given that pork c...
