Malaria Transmission, Infection, and Disease at Three Sites with Varied Transmission Intensity in Uganda: Implications for Malaria Control

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.

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.
Posted ContentDOI

Identification and characterization of Anopheles larval aquatic habitats at three sites of varying malaria transmission intensities in Uganda.

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

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.
