Spatial distribution of tsetse flies and trypanosome infection status in a vector genetic transition zone in northern Uganda
(Journal of Parasitology Research, 2022-06-01)
Background. Tsetse flies are vectors of the genus Trypanosoma that cause African trypanosomiasis, a serious parasitic disease of people and animals. Reliable data on the vector distribution and the trypanosome species they ...
Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants utilized in the management of candidiasis in Northern Uganda
(Springer Nature, 2022-10-14)
The emergence of resistant Candida species to antifungal drugs has led to resurgence in herbal usage globally. However, little is known about anti-candida plants. This study explored ethnomedicinal plants as treatment ...
Apparent density, trypanosome infection rates and host preference of tsetse flies in the sleeping sickness endemic focus of Northwestern Uganda.
(Springer Nature, 2021-11-29)
African trypanosomiasis, caused by protozoa of the genus Trypanosoma and transmitted by the tsetse fly, is a serious parasitic disease of humans and animals. Reliable data on the vector distribution, feeding preference and ...

(Online Student Journal of the University of Oldenburg, 2021)
This study examined the role of termites in nutrient recycling and productivity of beans in Muni village. Soil pH and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous) were established using standard methods. The productivity of beans ...
Antimycobacterial activity, acute toxicity, and characterisation of compounds from selected medicinal plants used in the treatment of Tuberculosis in Uganda
(Natural Product Research Network for East and Central Africa (NAPRECA), 2021-11-25)
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death globally, and the rise in drug-resistant forms of TB has become a significant threat (WHO, 2020). Subsequently, it is crucial to explore new, effective and safe anti-TB ...
Phytochemical screening, antimycobacterial activity and acute toxicity of crude extracts of selected medicinal plant species used locally in the treatment of tuberculosis in Uganda
(Springer Nature, 2022-02-17)
Background
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death globally, and the rise in drug-resistant forms of TB has become a significant threat. Subsequently, it is crucial to explore new, effective and safe anti-TB ...
Synthesis and characterization of hematite biocomposite using cassava starch template for aqueous phase removal of fluoride
(Elsevier, 2022-08-24)
In this study, facile synthesis of α-Fe2O3 biocomposite was mediated by cassava starch as a soft template. Batch mode evaluated its sorption behavior for fluoride removal from aqueous media. Characterization studies using ...
Rubber antioxidants and their transformation products: environmental occurrence and potential impact
(MDPI, 2022-11-07)
Antioxidants are prevalently used during rubber production to improve rubber performance, delay aging, and extend service life. However, recent studies have revealed that their transformation products (TPs) could adversely ...
Characterizations of regular modules
(International Electronic Journal of Algebra, 2022-12-14)
Different and distinct notions of regularity for modules exist in the literature. When these notions are restricted to commutative rings, they all coincide with the well-known von-Neumann regularity for rings. We give new ...
