Comparative ethnoveterinary and serological evaluation of the Karimojong Community Animal Health Worker Program in Uganda.

The Karimojong CAHW program, in which members of the pastoral Karimojong community were trained as basic veterinary care providers, was evaluated using ethnoveterinary techniques. A serological study of rinderpest antibody titers was also completed to compare serological results with ethnoveterinary results in the case of one disease, rinderpest. An outbreak of rinderpest-like disease that occurred during the field phase of the study was also investigated.
