Uganda’s agricultural landscapes are patterns of cultivated areas and semi-natural elements. Although comprising only a small fraction of the total area, semi-natural elements provide habitats for most of the landscape ...
Inhibitory effect of anti-paraflagellar RODc antibodies on in-vitro growth of trypanosoma brucei brucei
(Makerere University, 2015-10)
The flagellum of a trypanosome possesses a unique compact filamentous structure termed as the Paraflagellar rod (PFR), conserved among trypanosomatids, euglenoids, and dinoflagellates. The PFR is expressed in all life cycle ...
Spatial and matrix influences on the biogeography of insect taxa in forest fragments in Central Uganda
(Makerere University and University of Bergen, 2016)
How best to manage forest patches, mitigate the consequences of forest fragmentation, and enable landscape permeability are key questions facing conservation scientists and managers. In Uganda, most protected forests have ...
