Unravelling the ecology of ticks and tick-borne
pathogens at the wildlife-livestock interface in South
Western Uganda (ECOTIP Project)
REFNo: HS8771ES
1.1 General objective
We propose a study aimed at unravelling and clarifying tick ecology and the epidemiologies of
TBP infections of medical, veterinary and zoonotic importance in and around QENP.
1.2 Specific objectives
The study specifically seeks to:
1. Characterise the diversity of tick species and their density including: i) ticks that are
host-seeking (“questing”) on vegetation or, ii) ticks infesting various vertebrate wildlife,
livestock and domestic animals in and around QENP;
2. Detect and characterise the TBPs infecting: i) questing ticks and ii) ticks infesting wildlife
and domestic animals and associate TBPs with tick species;
3. Create a comprehensive database of microorganisms infecting Ugandan ticks, including
novel bacteria, parasites and viruses to enhance preparedness for emerging outbreaks
of unknown aetiology;
4. Analyse the genetic structure of ticks to support the understanding of the geographical
spread of tick populations associated with vertebrate hosts, TBPs or environmental
factors;
5. Build national capacity for research and surveillance of ticks and tick-borne diseases by
(i) equipping laboratories, and (ii) delivering bespoke training events for Ugandan
scientists;
6. Work with relevant policymakers including UWA to provide data and scientific reports to
support efforts to mitigate conflict between conservationists and pastoralists in and
around QENP.
