Changing malaria fever test positivity among paediatric admissions to Tororo district hospital, Uganda 2012–2019

Mpimbaza, Arthur; Sserwanga, Asadu; Rutazaana, Damian; Kapisi, James; Walemwa, Richard; Suiyanka, Laurissa; Kyalo, David; Kamya, Moses R.; Opigo, Jimmy; Snow, Robert W. (BMC, 2020)

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) promotes long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) and indoor residual house-spraying (IRS) for malaria control in endemic countries. However, long-term impact data of vector ...

Practical implications of a relationship between health management information system and community cohort–based malaria incidence rates

Kigozi, Simon P.; Giorgi, Emanuele; Mpimbaza, Arthur; Kigozi, Ruth N.; Bousema, Teun; Arinaitwe, Emmanuel; Nankabirwa, Joaniter I.; Sebuguzi, Catherine M.; Kamya, Moses R.; Staedke, Sarah G.; Dorsey, Grant; Pullan, Rachel L. (2020)

Global malaria burden is reducing with effective control interventions, and surveillance is vital to maintain progress. Health management information system (HMIS) data provide a powerful surveillance tool; however, its ...

Malaria diagnosed in an urban setting strongly associated with recent overnight travel: A case–control study from Kampala, Uganda

Arinaitwe, Emmanuel; Mpimbaza, Arthur; Nankabirwa, Joaniter I.; Kamya, Victor; Asiimwe, Alan; Kuule, Julius K.; Kamya, Moses R.; Drakeley, Chris; Dorsey, Grant; Rosenthal, Philip J.; Staedke, Sarah G. (2020)

Malaria is frequently diagnosed in urban Kampala, despite low transmission intensity. To evaluate the association between recent travel out of Kampala and malaria, we conducted a matched case–control study. Cases were ...

An assessment of implementation science research capacity in Uganda

Semeere, Aggrey S.; Semitala, Fred C.; Lunkuse, Olivia; Katahoire, Anne; Sewankambo, Nelson K.; Kamya, Moses R. (BioMed Central, 2021)

Background: In Uganda and other resource-poor countries, relevant research findings face a tortuous path to translation into policy and routine practice. Implementation science (ImSc) research could facilitate faster ...

Rapid shifts in the age‑specific burden of malaria following successful control interventions in four regions of Uganda

Kigozi, Simon P.; Kigozi, Ruth N.; Epstein, Adrienne; Mpimbaza, Arthur; Sserwanga, Asadu; Yeka, Adoke; Nankabirwa, Joaniter I.; Halliday, Katherine; Pullan, Rachel L.; Rutazaana, Damian; Sebuguzi, Catherine M.; Opigo, Jimmy; Kamya, Moses R.; Staedke, Sarah G.; Dorsey, Grant; Greenhouse, Bryan; Rodriguez‑Barraquer, Isabel (BMC, 2020)

Background: Malaria control using long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying of insecticide (IRS) has been associated with reduced transmission throughout Africa. However, the impact of transmission ...
