2026 study on SARS-CoV-2 genetic diversity and transmission dynamics in East Africa.
The study utilised genomic sequences from the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID) repository. Bayesian Phylogeography methods were used via the BEAST software. The first case of COVID-19 in Uganda likely originated from Kenya.

Disputed The quoted sentence appears verbatim in the PubMed/PMC abstract for PMID 41535569, and the paper was published online on 2026-01-14. However, the article is a multi-author Scientific Reports paper listing Patricia Nabisubi, Stephen Kanyerezi, Herbert Agasi, and others, so it cannot be verified as a single-author quote attributed solely to Herbert Agasi.
