#OctoPhage / #WorldPhageDay / #WorldPhage 2026 Spotlight: - Prof. Jesca Nakavuma, “Mama Phage” (Uganda) is an Associate Professor at Makerere University (College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Biosecurity / CoVAB) and Founder of Phage Team Uganda. - After hosting early Phages for Global Health laboratory training workshops (starting 2017), Prof. Nakavuma and her teams have isolated and characterised many phages targeting avian pathogenic E. coli, Salmonella, and aquaculture pathogens (including Aeromonas). - She has personally taught phage basics to hundreds of students (reported figures exceed 600), mentored numerous bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral theses (around 26+ on phages), and helped expand phage research and capacity across multiple Ugandan universities. - Phage Team Uganda has grown into a multi-institution consortium with a growing repository of characterised isolates. This is a standout example of building capacity, community, and local leadership in African phage research.
