Following the global health threat by zoonotic diseases that continue to undermine the efforts for social and economic development, Makerere University’s Emerging and Zoonotic diseases management project is in the boundless fight against Brucellosis in Nakasongola district.

This was manifested on 19th November 2017 when the team from the four partnering countries under CAPAZOMANINTECO Project together with officials from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and Norwegian Programme for Capacity Development in Higher Education and Research for Development (NORHED) visited pastoral communities in Nakasongola district for a follow up on the human-livestock health in regards to the control of Zoonoses.

The team was led by the project Principal Investigator, Prof. Clovice Kankya, who also spearheaded brief discussions with the livestock farmers about the health conditions and maintenance of their animals.
