Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between infection with Plasmodium falciparum during pregnancy, measures of placental malaria, and adverse birth outcomes
James Kapisi,Abel Kakuru,Prasanna Jagannathan,Mary K. Muhindo,Paul Natureeba,Patricia Awori,Miriam Nakalembe,Richard Ssekitoleko,Peter Olwoch,John Ategeka,Patience Nayebare,Tamara D. Clark,Gabrielle Rizzuto,Atis Muehlenbachs,Diane V. Havlir,Moses R. Kamya,Grant Dorsey,Stephanie L. Gaw +17 more
TL;DR: Higher malaria burden during pregnancy was associated with placental malaria and together with the detection of parasites in the placenta were associated with increased risk for adverse birth outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Home management of malaria with artemether-lumefantrine compared with standard care in urban Ugandan children: a randomised controlled trial
Sarah G. Staedke,Norah Mwebaza,Moses R. Kamya,Tamara D. Clark,Grant Dorsey,Philip J. Rosenthal,Christopher J. M. Whitty +6 more
TL;DR: Although home management of malaria led to prompt treatment of fever, there was little effect on clinical outcomes, and a substantial over-treatment suggests that artemether-lumefantrine provided in the home might not be appropriate for large urban areas or settings with fairly low malaria transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of vector control interventions on malaria transmission intensity, outdoor vector biting rates and Anopheles mosquito species composition in Tororo, Uganda.
Alex K. Musiime,David L. Smith,Maxwell Kilama,John Rek,Emmanuel Arinaitwe,Joaniter I. Nankabirwa,Moses R. Kamya,Melissa D. Conrad,Grant Dorsey,Anne M. Akol,Sarah G. Staedke,Steve W. Lindsay,J.P. Egonyu,J.P. Egonyu +13 more
TL;DR: Mass distribution of LLINs and 6 rounds of IRS dramatically decreased vector density and sporozoite rate resulting in a marked reduction in malaria transmission intensity in a historically high transmission site in Uganda.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the impact of indoor residual spraying on malaria morbidity using a sentinel site surveillance system in Western Uganda.
Hasifa Bukirwa,Vincent Yau,Ruth Kigozi,Scott G. Filler,Linda Quick,Myers Lugemwa,Gunawardena Dissanayake,Moses R. Kamya,Fred Wabwire-Mangen,Grant Dorsey +9 more
TL;DR: IRS was effective in reducing malaria morbidity, but this effect waned over the subsequent 12 months and was not sustained beyond 1 year for the proportion of blood smears read as positive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why is malaria associated with poverty? Findings from a cohort study in rural Uganda.
Lucy S. Tusting,Lucy S. Tusting,John Rek,Emmanuel Arinaitwe,Sarah G. Staedke,Moses R. Kamya,Jorge Cano,Christian Bottomley,Deborah Johnston,Grant Dorsey,Steve W. Lindsay,Jo Lines +11 more
TL;DR: Housing improvements and agricultural development interventions to reduce poverty merit further investigation as multisectoral interventions against malaria and to develop strategies for sustainable malaria control.
