Evaluation of capture enrichment for viral sequencing in a remote setting in Uganda.
REFNo: HS5270ES
Objective 2: Evaluate Analytical Performance in Uganda. NGS testing of blood samples from confirmed clinical cases and suspected clinical samples will be conducted. This includes de-identified archived blood samples collected from a sepsis cohort among participants who consented for their samples to be used for future research related to sepsis in Fort Portal, Uganda, at Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital, which has enhanced biosafety capabilities. ,Objective 1: Develop and Optimize NGS Platform To pilot the use of a field-deployed portable next-generation sequencing for testing of archived sepsis blood samples in Uganda to search for hantavirus or bunyavirus infections. The project plans to field test the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) platform with archived blood samples. Phylogenetic trees will be developed, and virus clades and variants or new viruses will be described. The performance of enriched-NGS to detect the virus will be compared to index testing with RT-PCR when there are 5 or more positive results.,

The project's general objective is to document the impact of World War II on the Lake Victoria-area environment in the immediate (wartime) and midterm (into the post-war period) periods.
Specific Objective
Specifically, the project seeks to:
1) Evaluate the changes in environmental patterns of use (agricultural use, resource extraction, etc.) during the Second World War and its socio-environmental impacts.
2) Examine how the linkages between Africa (affected population), Great Britain (colonial power and prosecutor of war) and Switzerland (experts and trading companies) drove environmental change.
3) Analyze how global patterns were evident in the Lake Victoria region, in particular in relation to sustainable practices and cultures.
