 Tropical Subjects: Ethnographies of Experimentation
REFNo: SS6157ES

xperimental methodologies have become an integral part of development economist’s toolkit. Today, hundreds of RCTs are being run around the world. The advent of experimental methodologies has been particularly prominent in East Africa, where they have advanced a number of novel insights into poverty alleviation. RCTs also stress a particular vision of development, however. The greatest benefit of RCts - the use of randomization to assess the causal effects of various interventions – renders certain forms of development projects more amenable to this framework than others, for example. To date, we have very little insight into how the rise of RCTs has shifted ideas of development among local stakeholders – including government officials working on questions of development, local research communities and participants themselves. This project seeks to center the experiences of local populations to better understand how the rise of RCTs in development shapes understandings of what development is, how it is delivered and who is a deserving beneficiary.

A History of Independent Uganda
REFNo: SS5846ES

In this research I am using newly opened government records to write a history of Uganda from 1962 up to the beginning of the National Resistance Movement government in 1986. The project aims to fill a major gap in academic writing about Uganda. While there is a profusion of historical scholarship about colonial Uganda, and while there is an even greater body of political science and development studies literature about Uganda in the 1990s and 2000s, historians have written very little about Milton Obote’s and Idi Amin’s Uganda. What scholarship has been written about the period has largely been composed by scholars who saw Uganda’s past as a source of malignancy, division, and failure. My interest is in documenting the marginal forms of political community that Ugandans created in the 1960s and 70s. I am interested in the paths-not-taken of Ugandan history, the imagined polities that activists constituted in order to engage with the Ugandan state. The period was one of extraordinary activity and imagination. My research focused on people who I call ‘commoners’, to signify their distance from the center of power. Some of the people who I’m interested in were demagogues, self-righteously convinced that other Ugandans were their enemies. Others of them were earnest patriots, defending local cultures against the supervening powers of the Ugandan state. All of the people about whom I researching had to navigate the uncertain relationship between center and periphery. They worked in forgotten and marginal places, distant from the political center.

 Population Census and Health Assessment of Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
REFNo: NS1370ES

Overall Goal & Objectives: The primary goal of this project is to utilize molecular analyses to conduct a comprehensive population census and health assessment of mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi that will support conservation and management of this critically endangered species.
Our specific objectives, described below, include generating critical data on gorilla count and distribution, their associated microbiomes and antimicrobial resistance gene profiles, pathogen prevalence, and parasite burden, as well as assessing anthropogenic impacts to these health indicators. Together, these data and analyses will directly inform management strategies and health monitoring protocols, while also enhancing regional capacity to protect mountain gorillas.

Objective 1: Generate a population size estimate based on molecular data generated in the region. We have developed a robust panel of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers unique to the gorilla genome which will effectively identify individuals from fecal samples. We will apply our approach to samples collected during the BINP census. These samples include both habituated and unhabituated gorillas, the latter of which are rarely observed directly. While all habituated gorillas are well known and regularly monitored by Gorilla Doctors, our molecular analysis of night nest fecal samples will allow inclusion of unhabituated groups without the need for direct encounters. This approach will generate an accurate estimate of the total gorilla population in BINP and provide a reliable, validated molecular genotyping method for long-term monitoring of all eastern gorilla populations. In addition, while comprehensive censuses of mountain gorillas have been conducted every 5-10 years since 1971, the current census will be the first for which all genotyping will be conducted in the region. This is now possible due to capacity building efforts by Gorilla Doctors including development of the Gorilla Doctors Regional One Health Laboratory in Musanze, Rwanda.

Objective 2: Conduct molecular surveillance of pathogens and parasites circulating in the gorilla population. Fecal samples will be screened for a wide range of endemic and emerging pathogens and parasites using multiplex quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays. This will include respiratory and gastrointestinal pathogens and parasites spanning bacteria, viruses, fungi, and strongylid nematodes. The resulting data will be integrated into a broader analysis of spatial and temporal trends in pathogen prevalence among eastern gorillas. Gorilla Doctors are well equipped to conduct this surveillance as we already implement validated methods for molecular pathogen detection in our Regional One Health Laboratory.

Objective 3: Assess helminth burden in the gorilla population. We will conduct helminth egg counts in fecal samples. Strongylid and other helminth parasites are widespread in mountain gorilla populations, and these parasites have been linked to gastrointestinal disease (Petrželková et al., 2021). Egg counts data will be used as a proxy for helminth infection intensity, which will be analyzed along with other health indicators to elucidate factors influencing gorilla health.

Objective 4: Molecularly characterize microbiomes associated with the gorilla gut and elucidate their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene profiles. We will employ high throughput sequencing to generate metagenomic data from mixed microbial communities present in gorilla fecal samples and predict AMR gene function based on existing databases. While most studies of AMR in gorillas have been culture-based, our metagenomic sequencing approach will allow characterization of a larger fraction of AMR genes present across entire microbial communities associated with the gorilla gut (de Abreu et al., 2021). This work will examine how microbiomes and AMR profiles vary by individual, group identity, and location within BINP, and how they are influenced by host genetics, infections, and antibiotic interventions. We are uniquely equipped to address the relationship between AMR and history of clinical treatments using Gorilla Doctors extensive records of clinical cases and antibiotic drug treatment regimes. Gorilla Doctors’ clinical intervention records for mountain gorillas in BINP date back to 1997. The results of this work will contribute to baseline health parameters for mountain gorillas. In addition, results are pertinent to clinical interventions for gorillas and to public health in the region.

Objective 5: Utilize modeling and statistical approaches to evaluate anthropogenic impacts to gorilla health indicators. Leveraging UWA's data on tourist visitation frequencies, we will investigate correlations between tourism pressure and variations in pathogen prevalence, helminth burden, gut microbiomes, and AMR profiles across gorilla groups. Further, we will examine associations among pathogen distribution, microbiome and AMR profiles, and proximity to human-modified landscapes. This will provide insights into how human presence and activities influence gorilla health and will inform management strategies to minimize negative impacts using a One Health approach.
