The influence of extreme floods on the form and functioning of upland systems has MIGRA SENS concentrated on the erosive impact of these flows.They are seen to be highly competent with coarse sediment transport rates limited by upstream supply and moderated by the ‘blanketing’ effect of an armour layer.This study investigates the effect
Abstract Background Co-infections of multiple parasite species in hosts may lead to interspecific associations and subsequently shape the structure of a parasite community.However, few studies have focused on these associations in highly abundant parasite species or, in particular, investigated how the associations develop with time in hosts expose
Background: Fleas transmit a variety of zoonotic agents whose epidemiology and public health risk remains poorly understood in sub-Saharan Africa, including Uganda particularly outside plague-endemic areas.Common flea-borne zoonotic agents include Rickettsia felis and Yersinia pestis.Objectives: The study aimed at detecting and characterising flea-
This study aims at investigating the nexus between natural resource endowment and economic growth using a sample of West African countries.The study adopted a Barrow-type growth model to analyse the impact of natural resource wealth on economic growth.A dynamic panel estimation technique was employed using relevant data from West African Countries.
Abstract Background Water insecurity is linked to depression in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), though it remains unclear how geospatial clustering of water insecurity in rural regions is associated with risk for depression.Methods We conducted a population-based survey of a rural parish in southwestern Uganda (N = 1603) to evaluate the j
