TL;DR: In cohorts, where LLINs and prompt effective treatment were provided, the risk of complicated malaria and anemia was extremely low, however, malaria incidence was high and increased over time at the two rural sites, suggesting improved community-wide coverage of LLIN and additional malaria control interventions are needed in Uganda.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of anti-parasite and anti-disease immunity to malaria as a function of age and exposure.
Isabel Rodriguez-Barraquer,Emmanuel Arinaitwe,Prasanna Jagannathan,Moses R. Kamya,P. Rosenthal,John Rek,Grant Dorsey,Joaniter I. Nankabirwa,Sarah G. Staedke,Maxwell Kilama,Chris Drakeley,Isaac Ssewanyana,David L. Smith,Bryan Greenhouse +13 more
TL;DR: This work used detailed clinical and entomological data from parallel cohort studies conducted across the malaria transmission spectrum in Uganda to quantify the development of immunity against symptomatic P. falciparum as a function of age and transmission intensity.

Identification and characterization of Anopheles larval aquatic habitats at three sites of varying malaria transmission intensities in Uganda.
Alex K. Musiime,David L. Smith,Maxwell Kilama,Geoffrey Otto,Patrick Kyagamba,John Rek,Melissa D. Conrad,Joaniter I. Nankabirwa,Emmanuel Arinaitwe,Anne M. Akol,Moses R. Kamya,Grant Dorsey,Sarah G. Staedke,Chris Drakeley,Steve W. Lindsay +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Anopheles larvae were common in areas of high and moderate transmission but were rare in Areas of low transmission, and methods are needed to reduce the aquatic stages of anopheline mosquitoes in human-made habitats, particularly rice fields.

Quantification of anti-parasite and anti-disease immunity to malaria as a function of age and exposure
Isabel Rodriguez-Barraquer,Emmanuel Arinaitwe,Prasanna Jagannathan,Moses R. Kamya,P. Rosenthal,John Rek,Grant Dorsey,Joaniter I. Nankabirwa,Sarah G. Staedke,Maxwell Kilama,Chris Drakeley,Isaac Ssewanyana,David L. Smith,Bryan Greenhouse +13 more
TL;DR: This work uses detailed clinical and entomological data from three parallel cohort studies conducted across the malaria transmission spectrum in Uganda to quantify the development of immunity against symptomatic Plasmodium falciparum as a function of age and transmission intensity, suggesting a strong effect of age on both types of immunity.
