U.S. Army Maj. Thamus Morgan, a veterinarian with the 411th Civil Affairs Battalion, in support of Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), demonstrates how to administer a taping device that determines the weight of cattle to a Ugandan veterinary care specialist working with the Uganda People's Defense Force (UPDF) at a farm in Luwero, Uganda, which is the epicenter of two of the world's most recent Ebola outbreaks. Ebola is a severe, contagious and often-fatal virus that affects humans and nonhuman primates and is believed to be caused by animal-to-human interaction. The group is part of a whole-of-government program named One Health that strengthens Uganda's healthcare capabilities and recognizes the health of humans, animals and ecosystems, like nations, are interconnected. Overall, One Health was coordinated by the Ugandan government, UPDF, U.S. Agency for International Development, U.S. State Department, U.S. Embassy in Uganda and CJTF-HOA.
