Clinical profile and genomic characterization of the 2026 Bundibugyo virus index case in Uganda

Andrew Nsawotebba, Isaac Ssewanyana, Alisen Ayitewala, Misaki Wayengera et autres

Bundibugyo virus disease remains a high-consequence threat in Eastern and Central Africa, where cross-border mobility, nonspecific early symptoms and delayed recognition can obscure transmission. In this case report, we describe Uganda's 2026 Bundibugyo virus disease index case: a male patient who traveled …

Multi-Pathogen Wastewater Surveillance enables Real-Time Targeted Public Health Interventions During the 2025 African Nations Championship Football Tournament

Andrew Nsawotebba, Innocent Morunyanga, Valeria Nakintu, Jonathan Kabazzi et autres

Abstract Mass gatherings pose significant public health risks by facilitating the spread of infectious diseases. While wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) has been widely used to monitor pathogens in high-income settings, its use as a practical, multi-pathogen surveillance tool during mass gatherings in low- …

Saliva, urine, and anorectal swabs as viable alternatives to lesion swabs for molecular diagnosis of mpox

Andrew Nsawotebba, Valeria Nakintu, Jonathan Kabazzi, Rodney Kisuule et autres

Mpox diagnosis relies on lesion swabs, which are infeasible when lesions are absent or inaccessible, limiting case detection during outbreaks and surveillance in resource-limited settings. This cross-sectional paired diagnostic study evaluated saliva, anorectal swabs, and urine as alternatives to lesion swabs (the …

Seasonal and spatial variability of PMMoV in tropical urban wastewater-based surveillance: implications for accurate SARS-CoV-2 monitoring in Kampala, Uganda

Andrew Nsawotebba, Valeria Nakintu, Innocent Morunyanga, Jonathan Kabazzi et autres

INTRODUCTION: Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) is a vital epidemiological tool for monitoring community-level pathogen transmission. Viral concentrations in wastewater are commonly normalized using fecal indicators such as Pepper Mild Mottle Virus (PMMoV) RNA; however, in tropical urban settings, PMMoV RNA signal may be …

Real-time public health interventions driven by wastewater and environmental surveillance during Uganda’s 2025 martyrs day mass gathering

Andrew Nsawotebba, Susan Nabadda, Noah Hull, Valeria Nakintu et autres

BACKGROUND: Mass gatherings increase the risk of infectious disease transmission, particularly when healthcare systems are overstretched and underfunded. Wastewater and environmental surveillance (WES) offer a real-time, non-invasive method for monitoring pathogen circulation at the population level. During Uganda's 2025 Martyrs' Day pilgrimage, …

Wastewater-based surveillance as a proactive public health tool: insights from SARS-CoV-2 monitoring in Kampala, Uganda (2023–2024)

Andrew Nsawotebba, Susan Nabadda, Isaac Ssewanyana, Noah Hull et autres

BACKGROUND: Wastewater-based surveillance offers a cost-effective, population-level complement to clinical testing for early detection of infectious disease outbreaks; however, its adoption in low- and middle-income countries remains limited. We conducted a study in Kampala, Uganda, to quantify SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater and …
