Item type: Item , Epidemiology of Taenia solium cysticercosis in the pig value chain in Uganda(Thesis, 2015-11-30) Kungu, Joseph M.A study was conducted in Kampala district, Uganda to map the distribution of pork retail outlets as well as assess their role in food borne disease transmission. This was the first study to map pork retail outlets and their hygiene in Kampala, a city considered to be a major destination for pigs from different parts of the country. We identified pork outlets by traversing major routes and by asking each outlet encountered about the location of others. Pork outlets were geo-referenced and mapped. Using a structured questionnaire, practices associated with hygiene related to infrastructure (e.g. water, refrigeration), workers (e.g. cleanliness, uniforms), and equipment (e.g. presence, condition) were assessed. Sources of pork were assessed to determine whether pork had undergone inspection, as were socio economic determinants of hygiene outcomes (e.g. gender and years of business operation) and risk factors for foodborne disease (consumption of salads and alcohol) There were 158 pork outlets in the five divisions of Kampala with the highest number (42) in Makindye division. Overall, 68% of the pork eaten in Kampala is from places where slaughtering was not authorized (un-gazetted) and meat inspection not carried out. The overall average hygiene score was 61% with considerable variation between districts. Worker hygiene score was highest (average 71%), followed by infrastructure (68.2%) and equipment (47.3%). There was a significant relation between good hygiene and the presence of a public health certificate (present only in 42% of the outlets). Although some aspects of hygiene in pork retail outlets are good, there is also room for improvement. The lack of meat inspection for most pork presents a risk. Having a public health certificate is an important predictor of good practices.Item type: Item , Prevalence and genotyping of African swine fever virus in apparently healthy pigs in Masaka, Mukono and Kamuli Districts in Uganda(Thesis, 2015-09-30) Akol, JoyceAfrican swine fever (ASF) is a viral hemorrhagic disease associated with death in infected pigs. African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a DNA virus that circulates in blood and lymphoid system of the pigs causing disease. There are various reports on ASF outbreaks in the country with a few confirmed in apparently healthy pigs which pigs show no signs of infection. Therefore a survey of apparently healthy pigs was undertaken to show the extent they habour the antibodies and antigen of ASFV and later determine the genetic diversity of the virus ASF in Kamuli, Mukono and Masaka districts of Uganda using serological, molecular and genotyping techniques. In total 1,192 blood and sera samples were collected and analyzed. All the pigs tested except one (1/1192) were negative for (ASFV) and none for antibodies indicating that ASFV causes a paracute / acute infection in Ugandan pigs with rare detection of virus or antibodies in apparently healthy pigs. Therefore chronically infected pigs are unlikely to be important in the epidemiology of ASF. The positive pig in Kamuli district was infected with genotype IX, the most common circulating ASFV genotype in Uganda. With one positive pig for ASFV, it was not possible to authoritatively associate predictors of infection with disease in tested pig farms. It is thus recommended that these predictors of infection with ASFV are studied in future ASF outbreak areas where the virus or antibodies in pigs may occur in high prevalence.Item type: Item , Review of the Uganda smallholder pig value chain assessment results and suggested potential interventions to improve women’s access and control of resources in the pig value chain(Report, 2014-01-30) Mangheni, Margaret NajjingoItem type: Item , Pig marketing and institutional strengthening: Uganda smallholder pig value chain capacity development training manual(Training Material, 2015-01-01) Birungi, Rosemirta; Ouma, Emily A.; Brandes-van Dorresteijn, D.; Kawuma, Brian; Smith, J.Item type: Item , Parasite control in pigs: Uganda smallholder pig value chain capacity development training manual(Training Material, 2015-01) Nakatudde, P.; Dione, Michel M.; Roesel, Kristina; Kawuma, Brian; Brandes-van Dorresteijn, D.; Smith, J.Item type: Item , Update on the Smallholder Pig Value Chains Development in Uganda (SPVCD) Project(Presentation, 2014-05-27) Pezo, Danilo A.; Ouma, Emily A.; Dione, Michel M.Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Porcine diseases of economic and public health importance in Uganda: Review of successes and failures in disease control and interventions(Report, 2013-06-30) Nsadha, ZacharyItem type: Item , Participatory assessment of animal health constraints and husbandry practices in the pig production system in three districts of Uganda(Poster, 2013-05-15) Dione, Michel M.; Ouma, Emily A.; Roesel, Kristina; Mayega, L.; Nadiope, G.; Kyriabwire, D.; Pezo, Danilo A.Item type: Item , Characterization of smallholder pig production systems in Uganda(Poster, 2013-05-15) Ouma, Emily A.; Dione, Michel M.; Lule, Peter M.; Roesel, Kristina; Mayega, L.; Kiryabwire, D.; Nadiope, G.; Pezo, Danilo A.Item type: Item , The Smallholder Pig Value Chains Development (SPVCD) in Uganda Project(Poster, 2013-05-15) Pezo, Danilo A.; Ouma, Emily A.; Dione, Michel M.Item type: Item , The smallholder pig value chains development in Uganda (SPVCD) project: Where are we now?(Presentation, 2013-05-13) Pezo, Danilo A.; Dione, Michel M.; Ouma, Emily A.Item type: Item , Report of outcome mapping/site selection workshop 11-13 October 2012: Smallholder Pig Value Chains Development (SPVCD) in Uganda Project(Report, 2012-10-13) Ochola, W.O.Item type: Item , Report of the value chain assessment and best bet interventions identification workshop, Kampala, 9-10 April 2013(Report, 2013-04-30) Ochola, W.O.Item type: Item , Smallholder pig value chains development in Uganda(Brochure, 2013-05-23) International Livestock Research InstituteItem type: Item , Diseases of economic and zoonotic importance in pig farming in Uganda: Control practices, successes, failures and the way forward(Presentation, 2013-04-09) Nsadha, ZacharyItem type: Item , Successes and failures with technology interventions on pig feeding promoted in Uganda(Presentation, 2013-04-09) Mutetikka, D.Item type: Item , Feeding and breeding systems in the Uganda smallholder pigs value chain(Presentation, 2013-04-09) Carter, N.; Pezo, Danilo A.Item type: Item , Participatory rapid assessment of animal health and management practices in the Uganda smallholder pig value chain(Presentation, 2013-04-09) Dione, Michel M.Item type: Item , The smallholder pigs in-depth value chain assessment in Uganda: How was it conducted?(Presentation, 2013-04-09) Pezo, Danilo A.; Ouma, Emily A.; Dione, Michel M.; Roesel, Kristina
