Globally, non-typhoidal salmonellosis accounts for approximately 80.3 million cases of
human infections annually. Estimates of salmonellosis due to consumption of pork or
pork products is difficult to determine but, it ranges from < 1% to 25%. These invasive
pathogens colonize intestinal mucosal ...

Taenia solium cysticercosis: Risk factors, perceptions and practices in smallholder pig production systems in Uganda
Our vision is to improve the livelihoods of smallholder pig value chain actors in Uganda by
showcasing how existing livestock value chains can be upgraded for the benefit of all actors in
the system, especially the many poor. Very little has been documented about how pig value
chains operate in U...

Brucellosis is a notifiable zoonotic disease affecting livestock, humans, and wildlife in Uganda. Pigs can be infected with human pathogenic Brucella suis biovars 1 and 3 and can be a significant source of brucellosis for humans. Uganda has a rapidly growing pig population, and the pork consumpti...

Serological and molecular investigation for brucellosis in swine in selected districts of Uganda
The pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, is prevalent in Uganda although the prevalence has not been determined in all areas of the country. A cross-sectional study, to determine the sero-prevalence of the parasite in pigs kept under rural and urban production settings, was carried out in three Ugandan ...

Background
Prevalence studies report Taenia solium cysticercosis in pig and human populations in Uganda. However, the factors influencing occurrence in smallholder pig production systems are not well documented and little is known about farmers’ perceptions of T. solium cysticercosis or farmer pr...

Introduction: the burden of brucellosis among smallholder farmers is poorly-documented in Uganda. The disease burden is likely to be high, given the high levels of endemicity, lots of exposures and due to lack of control measures. In order to designate appropriate control measures, the magnitude ...

Since 1986, the numbers of pigs in Uganda have at least quadrupled and today’s more than two million pigs are in the hands of 1.1 million households. Up to 70% of all pork is estimated to be consumed in urban and peri-urban areas, mainly through informal road-side butcheries and ‘pork joints’. In...
