Challenges and opportunities for use of long‑lasting insecticidal nets to prevent malaria during overnight travel in Uganda: a qualitative study
Ekusai‑Sebatta, Deborah; Arinaitwe, Emmanuel; Mpimbaza, Arthur; Nankabirwa, Joaniter I.; Drakeley, Chris; Rosenthal, Philip J.; Staedke, Sarah G.; Muyinda, Herbert (BioMed Central, 2021)Background: Travel is a well‑recognized risk factor for malaria. Within sub‑Saharan Africa, travelers from areas of lower to higher transmission intensity are potentially at high risk of malaria. Long‑lasting insecticidal ... -
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 ... -
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
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 ...
