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 ... -
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 ... -
Doctoral training in Uganda: evaluation of mentoring best practices at Makerere University College of Health Sciences
Nakanjako, Damalie; Katamba, Achilles; Kaye, Dan K.; Okello, Elialilia; Kamya, Moses R.; Sewankambo, Nelson; Mayanja-Kizza, Harriet (BMC Medical Education, 2014)Background: Good mentoring is a key variable for determining success in completing a doctoral program. We identified prevailing mentoring practices among doctoral students and their mentors, identified common challenges ... -
High CD56++CD16- natural killer (NK) cells among suboptimal immune responders after four years of suppressive antiretroviral therapy in an African adult HIV treatment cohort
Bayigga, Lois; Nabatanzi, Rose; Naluyima Sekiziyivu, Prossy; Mayanja-Kizza, Harriet; Kamya, Moses R.; Kambugu, Andrew; Olobo, Joseph; Kiragga, Agnes; Kirimunda, Sam; Joloba, Moses; Nakanjako, Damalie (BMC Immunology, 2014)Background: Up to 40% of HIV-infected individuals receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) have poor CD4+ T-cell recovery. The role of natural killer (NK) cells in immune recovery during HAART is not well ... -
HIV-subtype A is associated with poorer neuropsychological performance compared with subtype D in antiretroviral therapy-naive Ugandan children
Boivin, Michael J.; Bangirana, Paul; Kamya, Moses R.; Achan, Jane; Akello, Carolyne; Wong, Joseph K.; Boal, Hannah E.; Ruel, Theodore D.; Havlir, Diane V.; Charlebois, Edwin; Eller, Leigh A.; Cao, Huyen (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2010)Background: HIV-subtype D is associated with more rapid disease progression and higher rates of dementia in Ugandan adults compared with HIV-subtype A. There are no data comparing neuropsychological function by HIV subtype ... -
Impaired T-cell proliferation among HAARTtreated adults with suboptimal CD4 recovery in an African cohort
Nakanjako, Damalie; Ssewanyana, Isaac; Nabatanzi, Rose; Kiragga, Agnes; Kamya, Moses R.; Cao, Huyen; Mayanja-Kizza, Harriet (BMC Immunology, 2013)Background: Most HIV-infected subjects exhibit a progressive rise in CD4 T-cell counts after initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). However, a subset of individuals exhibit very poor CD4 T-cell recovery ... -
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 ... -

(Health Research Policy and Systems, 2017)Background: In the last decade, Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MakCHS) has taken strides in research and training to improve healthcare through collaborative training and research programs. However, ... -
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 ... -
Rapid shifts in the age‑specific burden of malaria following successful control interventions in four regions of Uganda
