A quasi-experimental study estimating the impact of long-lasting insecticidal nets with and without piperonyl butoxide on pregnancy outcomes
(BMC, 2022)
Background: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the main vector control tool for pregnant women, but their efficacy may be compromised, in part, due to pyrethroid resistance. In 2017, the Ugandan Ministry of Health ...
Association between indoor residual spraying and pregnancy outcomes: a quasi-experimental study from Uganda
(Oxford University Press, 2022)
Background: Malaria is a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Indoor residual spraying with insecticide (IRS) reduces malaria infections, yet the effects of IRS on pregnancy outcomes are not well established. We ...
Associations between aminoquinoline resistance genotypes and clinical presentations of Pplasmodium falciparum Infection in Uganda
(American Society for Microbiology., 2020)
Mutations that mediate resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to aminoquinoline antimalarials are selected by prior drug use and may alter parasite fitness, but associations with clinical presentations are uncertain. We ...
Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity and multiplicity of infection based on msp‑1, msp‑2, glurp and microsatellite genetic markers in Sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BMC, 2024)
Background
In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Plasmodium falciparum causes most of the malaria cases. Despite its
crucial roles in disease severity and drug resistance, comprehensive data on Plasmodium falciparum genetic ...
