Asthma
Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Asthma
Austria
Austria, formally the Republic of Austria, is a landlocked country in Central Europe, lying in the Eastern Alps.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Austria
Bacteria
Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Bacteria
Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Cancer
Cattle
Cattle (Bos taurus) are large, domesticated, bovid ungulates widely kept as livestock. They are prominent modern members of the subfamily Bovinae and the most widespread species of the genus Bos. Mature female cattle are called cows and mature male cattle are bulls. Young female cattle are called heifers, young male cattle are oxen or bullocks, and castrated male cattle are known as steers.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Cattle
Clinical trial
Clinical trials are prospective biomedical or behavioral research studies on human participants designed to answer specific questions about biomedical or behavioral interventions, including new treatments (such as novel vaccines, drugs, dietary choices, dietary supplements, and medical devices) and known interventions that warrant further study and comparison.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Clinical trial
Cow dung
Cow dung, also known as cow pats, cow pies or cow manure, is the waste product (faeces) of bovine animal species.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Cow dung
Cytokine
Cytokines are a broad and loose category of small proteins (~5–25 kDa) important in cell signaling.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Cytokine
Demographics of Uganda
Demographic features of the population of Uganda include population density, ethnicity, education level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and others.

Dermatitis
Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin, typically characterized by itchiness, redness and a rash.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Dermatitis
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Genus
Immune response
An immune response is a physiological reaction which occurs within an organism in the context of inflammation for the purpose of defending against exogenous factors.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Immune response
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy or biological therapy is the treatment of disease by activating or suppressing the immune system.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Immunotherapy
Latin
Latin (lingua Latina,, or Latinum) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Latin
Leprosy
Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a long-term infection by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Leprosy
Macrophage
Macrophages (abbreviated Mφ, MΦ or MP) are a type of white blood cell of the innate immune system that engulf and digest pathogens, such as cancer cells, microbes, cellular debris, and foreign substances, which do not have proteins that are specific to healthy body cells on their surface.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Macrophage
Major depressive disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD), also known as clinical depression, is a mental disorder characterized by at least two weeks of pervasive low mood, low self-esteem, and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Major depressive disorder
Mycobacteriaceae
Mycobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria in the phylum Actinomycetota.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), also known as Koch's bacillus, is a species of pathogenic bacteria in the family Mycobacteriaceae and the causative agent of tuberculosis.

Neuron
A neuron, neurone, or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system.
See Mycobacterium vaccae and Neuron
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a long-lasting, noncontagious autoimmune disease characterized by patches of abnormal skin.

Soil
Soil, also commonly referred to as earth or dirt, is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support the life of plants and soil organisms.

Spleen
The spleen is an organ found in almost all vertebrates.

T helper cell
The T helper cells (Th cells), also known as CD4+ cells or CD4-positive cells, are a type of T cell that play an important role in the adaptive immune system.

TB Alert
TB Alert is a charity working to raise awareness about and support effective treatment of the disease tuberculosis in the UK and internationally.

Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB), also known colloquially as the "white death", or historically as consumption, is an infectious disease usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteria.
