    Description: In this paper, we try to briefly review the current physico-chemical data pertaining to Northern Lake Victoria which could eventually be used to explain the following:-(a) whether there bas been a change of the dissolved organic nutrient cencentrations when compared with the pre-perch period, (b) the specific point sources of the influent nutrients and other chemicals and how they correlate with changes in algal productivity, and (c) whether the data can contribute to the validation of the Lake Victoria ecological model developed by Jorgensen at al. (1982).

    Description: The study was done in six districts of Mukono, Jinja, Iganga, Bugiri, Busia and Kalangala. At both mainland shoreline and islands, 271 adult respondents were randomly selected from 17 landing sites of Lake Victoria over a four months period between October 2000 and January 2001. A questionnaire was administered for symptoms of schistosomiasis and samples of stool, urine and blood were taken from respondents. Stool and urine were analysed for schistosome eggs and blood.Blood was analysed for increased eosinophils. Snail samples were collected from various depths along the shoreline of study sites identified and screened for schistosome cercariae.

    The prevalence, endemicity and epidemiology of Schistosomiasis on the fisherfolk communities of Lake Victoria basin, Uganda (2021)

    Description: Schistosomiasis a water-borne socio-economically devastating disease commonly found among lake shore dwellers in areas where it is endemic. The Lake basin supports an estimated 30 million people many of them fisherfolk who directly depend on abundant water resources but are often exposed to water-borne diseases including Schistosomiasis. Other water related intestinal bacterial diseases like the salmonellas and Shigellas, do occur at the Lake Victoria basin but are less frequently reported and probably of less importance in comparison to Schistosomiasis. We investigated the prevalence, endemicity ,and epidemiology of the Schistosomiasis including its obligate intermediate host populations at various sites along the shores of northern Lake Victoria over a four month period during the year 2000. The investigation was carried out with the aim of generating information on the intensity and spread of Schistosomiasis. This information will be used in formulating a Schistosomiasis control programme. When put in place, it will enhance positive development in the health of the fisherfolk communities thus reciprocally improve and promote their productive capacities hence incomes.
