Leaving no one behind: Disability and HIV prevention, knowledge among adults in a population cohort in Uganda.

Background: People with disability are a vulnerable population and are at a high risk of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

Objectives: We investigated the association between severity of disability and not having knowledge of any HIV prevention method among adults in Uganda.

Method: Between January 2015 and December 2015, data were collected within a general population in Uganda, on six domains of disability based on the Washington Group Short Set on Functioning.

Method: Using an interpretive phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted to capture the lived experiences of elderly Baganda service users receiving treatment at Butabika National Referral and Teaching hospital.

Modeling the Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) disease transmission dynamics with impacts of vaccination and restocking in small ruminant population in Amhara region, Ethiopia.

Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious transboundary viral disease of small ruminants with significant economic implications caused by the Peste des Petits Ruminants virus. This study employs mathematical modeling to investigate the impact of imperfect PPR vaccines and restocked small ruminants on the transmission dynamics of PPR. A deterministic mathematical model is developed by incorporating vaccinated and restocked subpopulations into the classical SEIR model.
