I-UWA icacisa kwimeko enokwenzeka eMarburg

I-Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) inqwenela ukwazisa abakhenkethi kunye nezinye iindidi zeendwendwe kwiiPaki zeSizwe zaseUganda kunye noluntu ngokubanzi ukuba imiqolomba ye-bat / python ehlathini laseMaramagambo ihanjelwe ngabakhenkethi bangaphandle kunye nabasekhaya kubandakanywa amaqela esikolo kwiminyaka eyi-10 edlulileyo. ukusukela ngo-1998) kwaye akukho zehlo zosulelo kwiindwendwe okanye abasebenzi be-UWA abasa iindwendwe kwimiqolomba ziye zaxelwa ukusukela ngoko.

Ityala elichazwe kumaphephandaba lelokuqala lolo hlobo kwaye, ngoko, lilodwa. Sisawabambile amathandabuzo ethu de iqela leengcaphephe liqinisekise ukuba umkhenkethi oxeliweyo wosulelwa sisifo iMarburg kumalulwane akwimiqolomba yase Maramagambo.

I-UWA ithatha impilo, ukhuseleko kunye nentlalo-ntle yabo bobabini abatyeleli kwiipaki zethu zesizwe kunye nabasebenzi bethu, kubandakanywa noluntu olungqonge iipaki zesizwe, njengento ebaluleke kakhulu. Kulo mba, i-UWA ineyunithi yonyango lwezilwanyana eyomeleleyo kakhulu enabasebenzi abaqeqeshwe ngokufanelekileyo abazinze kuwo omabini amakomkhulu nakwibala eliquka iQueen Elizabeth National Park.

Iqela lezilwanyana zase-UWA lenza uphononongo lwezifo zezilwanyana zasendle ngamaxesha athile kunye nokukhangela kwezifo ezizinjongo zokuqinisekisa impilo yezilwanyana zasendle nabantu (abakhenkethi, iindwendwe, abasebenzi, uluntu lwasekuhlaleni) ngakumbi kwiimeko zezoonoses (izifo ekwabelwana ngazo phakathi kwabantu nezilwanyana ezifana ne-ebola, i-marburg, umkhuhlane weentaka, i-anthrax, i-brucellosis, isifo sephepha kunye nabanye). Ukuhlolwa kwezifo zezilwanyana zasendle ngamaxesha athile kwenziwa kunye okanye ngokubonisana noMphathiswa wezeMpilo, uMphathiswa wezoLimo, uShishino lweZilwanyana kunye nezokuLoba, iYunivesithi yaseMakerere, iZiko loPhando lweVirus yaseUganda kunye nabanye abachaphazelekayo kuphononongo lwezifo kunye noxilongo.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, akukho mithombo yendalo eyaziwayo kuzo zombini izifo zaseMarburg kunye ne-Ebola. Nangona uphononongo oluqhubayo lwendalo kwimigodi yaseKitaka, isithili saseKamwenge sibonisa ukuba amalulwane angama-23 kwangama-400 athathwe iisampulu (5%) afunyaniswa enobungqina bokungakhuseleki kwintsholongwane yeMarburg ngaphambili, kufanele kuqatshelwe ukuba kukho izigidi zamalulwane eUganda kwaye. uluhlu lwabo ebusuku xa beyokutya lubanzi. Oku kuthetha ukuba kukho intsebenziswano eninzi phakathi kwamalulwane nabantu ngokungathanga ngqo kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ngokuthe ngqo kwaye, ke ngoko, ukuba bebengabathwali beMarburg, ngesasibone ubhubhane eUganda, kodwa oku akuyeki uphando oluqhubekayo.

Kwityala elimalunga nomqolomba wamalulwane kwiHlathi laseMaramagambo, i-UWA sele iqhagamshelene neNational Task Force ukunceda ukuphanda lo mba ngokukhawuleza. Bavumelana nomlawuli jikelele wezempilo, uGqr.

Ke ngoko, i-UWA iye yamisa okwethutyana utyelelo kwimiqolomba ekwihlathi laseMaramagambo ukuze ivumele uphando olululo kulo mbandela kwaye icele iNational Taskforce kuMarburg kunye ne-Ebola, uMphathiswa wezeMpilo kunye nabanye abachaphazelekayo ukuba bajongane nabasebenzi be-UWA ababekunye. umkhenkethi kunye nabanye abantu abasandul 'ukutyelela umqolomba, nangona kungekho kufa okanye ukugula kuye kwaxelwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.

Yonke imisebenzi yokhenketho kunye nezibonelelo zeendwendwe kwi-Queen Elizabeth National Park zihlala zivulekile kwaye zikhuselekile kubakhenkethi kunye nabanye abatyeleli kule paki ngaphandle kokutyelela kwimiqolomba yelulwane.

Bakwabongoza uluntu ngokubanzi kunye noluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe ukuba luzolile ngelixa i-UWA idibene neqela leengcali zobugcisa ezithathwe phakathi kwamanye amaCandelo, amaZiko kunye nabachaphazelekayo baqhubeka nokusebenza ngokuzikhandla ukulawula imeko kunye nokugcina uluntu lunolwazi ngokufanelekileyo.

Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba ngokusekwe kuphando lwenzululwazi oluvakalayo lwangaphambili kunye neengcebiso, i-UWA iye yabeka indawo kwaye iphumeza izikhokelo ezichaza phakathi kwezinye umgama omncinane umntu anokuwufumana kwizilwanyana zasendle ezibandakanya izirhubuluzi, iintaka kunye nezilwanyana ezanyisayo (kubandakanywa iigorila, iichimpanzi, iinkawu kunye nezilwanyana zasendle. amalulwane) ukuze uthintele ukudibana kunye namanye amanyathelo okhuseleko kunye nokhuseleko njengempahla.
