TL;DR: DP was superior to AL for reducing the risk of recurrent parasitemia and gametocytemia, and provided improved hemoglobin recovery, and appears to be a good alternative to AL as first-line treatment of uncomplicated malaria in Uganda.

TL;DR: Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine is highly efficacious, and operationally preferable to AL because of a less intensive dosing schedule and requirements and should be considered for a role in the antimalarial treatment policy of Uganda.

TL;DR: AS/AQ treatment was followed by fewer recurrences than AL treatment, contrasting with older data, and research should consider multiple or rotating regimens to maintain treatment efficacies.

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.

TL;DR: Uganda has successfully established an evidence-based IVM approach and consolidated strategic planning and operational frameworks for VBD control, but operating implementation arrangements as outlined in the national strategic guidelines for IVM and managing insecticide resistance, as well as improving vector surveillance, are imperative.
