Last summer, UCD veterinary student Carmel Molloy, travelled to Uganda (as a recipient of the Mike O'Leary Trust Travel Bursary, to spend a month on VIVA's animal traction project in eastern Uganda. Her brief was to carry out a survey on animal health control strategies on behalf of our partner there, Heifer Uganda. The report provides an interesting overview of disease incidence in this area and outlines the many difficulties in the promotion and provision of disease control strategies such as vaccination and acaricidal use.
The full report can be read here.
