Abstract: Edible insects are now globally recognisedas alternative sources of food and feed. Currently, over 470 spp of insects are consumed in Africa alone, with Ruspolia differensbeing the most common in central Uganda.Harvesting and trading of these insects is done informally andthe post-harvest handling, processingand marketing involvesseveral people.

Uganda has ratified some of the instruments and conventions to signify her compliance with the obligations by developing comprehensive legal ...
ABSTRACT Automatic water level controller for both overhead and underground tank is designed to monitor the level of water in a tank. It displays the level of water and when it is at the lowest level; a pump is activated automatically to refill the tank. When the tank is filled to its maximum capacity, the pump is automatically de-energized. Several circuits are put together to ensure proper working of this design, and the block diagram includes the supply unit, the micro-processor unit, the ...

ABSTRACT Obesity has been a pertinent issue worldwide as it constitutes one of the major public health challenges. It poses a significant challenge because of the continuous increase in its prevalence and diverse health, social and economic implications. Although the associated consequences are widespread, there is evidence of preference for larger body size in sub-Saharan Africa due to some socio-cultural standards and perceptions about body size. These have implications for weight manageme...
Abstract: Background The demonstration that the recently discovered Anopheles symbiont Microsporidia MB blocks malaria transmission in Anopheles arabiensis and undergoes vertical and horizontal transmission suggests that it is a promising candidate for the development of a symbiont-based malaria transmission-blocking strategy. The infection prevalence and characteristics of Microsporidia MB in Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (s.s.), another primary vector species of malaria in Kenya, were in...
