In East African Lake Victoria >200 endemic species of haplochromine fishes have been described on the basis of morphological and behavioral differences. Yet molecular analysis has failed to reveal any species-specific differences among these fishes in either mitochondrial or nuclear genes. Although the genes could be shown to vary, the variations represent trans-species polymorphisms not yet as...

Lake Victoria (L. Victoria) is the largest African tropical and freshwater lake, with one of highest pollution levels, globally. It shared among Uganda, Kenya Tanzania, but it drained only by river Nile, longest in Africa. Though environmental studies have been conducted investigations heavy metals (HMs) contamination sediments from fish landing sites ports on Ugandan portion L. are limited. In...

Cichlid fishes have evolved tremendous morphological and behavioral diversity in the waters of East Africa. Within each of the Great Lakes Tanganyika, Malawi, and Victoria, the phenomena of hybridization and retention of ancestral polymorphism explain allele sharing across species. Here, we explore the sharing of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between the major East African cichlid asse...

Understanding community perceptions and attitudes towards childhood illness is important in developing appropriate interventions. A cross sectional survey was therefore, conducted in a riparian community of Lake Victoria basin in Tanzania to determine caretakers' perception, attitudes and practices on childhood malaria and diarrhoeal diseases. Among 336 caretakers interviewed, 61.1% (205) repor...

BACKGROUND In sub-Saharan Africa, malaria is frequently overdiagnosed as the cause of an undifferentiated febrile illness, whereas arboviral illnesses are presumed to be underdiagnosed. METHODS Sera from 385 febrile Kenyan children, who presented to 1 of 4 clinical sites, were tested using microscopy and real-time molecular assays for dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), malaria, a...

In recent years, the high rate of conversion of wetlands for agriculture has raised environmental concerns in Uganda. A study was therefore conducted to identify issues that need to be addressed if communities are to continue deriving livelihoods from wetland agriculture, without causing stress to the wetlands of Lake Victoria basin. This was done by conducting household surveys and focus group...
