    • Genetic analysis of Influenza B viruses isolated in Uganda during the 2009–2010 seasons. 

      Byarugaba, Denis K.; Bernard, Erima; Millard, Monica; Kibuuka, Hannah; Lukwago, L.; Bwogi, Josephine; Mimbe, Derrick; Mworozi, Edison A.; Sharp, Bridget; Krauss, Scott; Webby, Richard J.; Webster, Robert G.; Martin, Samuel K.; Wabwire-Mangen, Fred; Ducatez, Mariette F. (BioMed Central, 2013)
      Background: Influenza B viruses can cause morbidity and mortality in humans but due to the lack of an animal reservoir are not associated with pandemics. Because of this, there is relatively limited genetic sequences ...

    • Large-scale human immunodefficiecy virus rapid test evaluation in a low-prevalence Ugandan blood bank population 

      Eller, Leigh A.; Eller, Michael A.; Ouma, Benson J.; Kataaha, Peter; Bagaya, Bernard S.; Olemukan, Robert L.; Erima, Simon; Kawala, Lillian; de Souza, Mark S.; Kibuuka, Hannah; Wabwire-Mangen, Fred; Peel, Sheila A.; O'Connell, Robert J.; Robb, Merlin L.; Michael, Nelson L. (American Society for Microbiology, 2007-10)
      The use of rapid tests for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has become standard in HIV testing algorithms employed in resource-limited settings. We report an extensive HIV rapid test validation study conducted among ...

    • Molecular epidemiology of Influenza A/H3N2 viruses circulating in Uganda 

      Byarugaba, Denis K.; Ducatez, Mariette F.; Erima, Bernard; Mworozi, Edson A.; Millard, Monica; Kibuuka, Hannah; Lukwago, Luswa; Bwogi, Josephine; Kaira, Blanche B.; Mimbe, Derrick; Webby, Richard J.; Krauss, Scott; Schnabel, David C.; Darnell, Daniel; Webster, Robert G.; Wabwire-Mangen, Fred (Public Library of Science, 2011-11-21)
      The increasing availability of complete influenza virus genomes is deepening our understanding of influenza evolutionary dynamics and facilitating the selection of vaccine strains. However, only one complete African influenza ...

    • Poor biosecurity in live bird markets in Uganda: A potential risk for highly pathogenic avian influenza disease outbreak in poultry and spread to humans. 

      Kirunda, Halid; Kibuuka, Hannah; Byaruhanga, Achilles; Mworozi, Edison; Bwogi, Josephine; Lukwago, Luswa; Millard, Millard; Wabwire-Mangen, Fred; Byarugaba, Denis K. (International Scholars Journals, 2014)
      Live bird markets (LBMs) are essential for marketing of poultry, but can be a hub for the rapid spread of diseases including avian influenza (AI). We assessed the status of biosecurity in 108 LBMs in 37 districts of Uganda. ...
