What is it about?
Key Points: • Pathogenic genes associated with human infections were quantified in water samples collected over seven months in Kampala, Uganda • An increased presence of pathogenic bacterial and viral genes in drainage channels in wet season was observed • Human interaction with contaminated drainage water could contribute to waterborne disease transmission
