The age-specific incidence of hospitalized paediatric malaria in Uganda
(BMC, 2020)
Background: Understanding the relationship between malaria infection risk and disease outcomes represents a fundamental component of morbidity and mortality burden estimations. Contemporary data on severe malaria risks ...
Rapid shifts in the age‑specific burden of malaria following successful control interventions in four regions of Uganda
(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 ...
Malaria diagnosed in an urban setting strongly associated with recent overnight travel: A case–control study from Kampala, Uganda
(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 ...
Changing malaria fever test positivity among paediatric admissions to Tororo district hospital, Uganda 2012–2019
(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
(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 ...
A quasi-experimental study estimating the impact of long-lasting insecticidal nets with and without piperonyl butoxide on pregnancy outcomes
(BMC, 2022)
Background: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the main vector control tool for pregnant women, but their efficacy may be compromised, in part, due to pyrethroid resistance. In 2017, the Ugandan Ministry of Health ...
Malaria hospitalisation in East Africa: age, phenotype and transmission intensity
(BMC, 2022)
Background: Understanding the age patterns of disease is necessary to target interventions to maximize cost-effective impact. New malaria chemoprevention and vaccine initiatives target young children attending routine ...
Adherence to malaria management guidelines by health care workers in the Busoga Sub-region, Eastern Uganda
(BMC, 2022)
Background: Appropriate malaria management is a key malaria control strategy. The objective of this study was to determine health care worker adherence levels to malaria case management guidelines in the Busoga sub-region, ...
Association between indoor residual spraying and pregnancy outcomes: a quasi-experimental study from Uganda
(Oxford University Press, 2022)
Background: Malaria is a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Indoor residual spraying with insecticide (IRS) reduces malaria infections, yet the effects of IRS on pregnancy outcomes are not well established. We ...
Associations between aminoquinoline resistance genotypes and clinical presentations of Pplasmodium falciparum Infection in Uganda
(American Society for Microbiology., 2020)
Mutations that mediate resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to aminoquinoline antimalarials are selected by prior drug use and may alter parasite fitness, but associations with clinical presentations are uncertain. We ...
