  • Gender and exposure pathways to zoonotic infections in communities at the interface of wildlife conservation areas of Uganda

    Open AccessCollins Agaba, Laura Ferguson et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2025

    The changing climate and increasingly frequent environmental shocks are creating new pressures on land use and intensifying inter-species contact that might foster zoonotic disease transmission. In areas where there are complex interactions between wild/domestic animals and humans, preventing and managing zoonotic infections requires an integrated One Health approach based on interdisciplinary and multisectoral collaboration. We used a One Health…

    Open AccessRichard Echodu, William Sam Oyet et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Malaria episodes were strongly related to lack of bed nets or use thereof, and directly linked to the number of individuals in a household. Children were prone to malaria more than adults by a ratio of 2:1.

    BACKGROUND: Since the declaration of the 10th Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in DRC on 1st Aug 2018, several neighboring countries have been developing and implementing preparedness efforts to prevent EVD cross-border transmission to enable timely detection, investigation, and response in the event of a confirmed EVD outbreak in the country. We describe Uganda's experience in EVD preparedness. RESULTS: On 4 August 2018, the Uganda Ministry of…
