Emphasizing the vitality of genomics related research in the area of infectious diseases
(Scientific Research and Essays, 2007)
Sequencing of the human and other species genomes has generated a downstream of sciences that have taken advantage of this knowledge to generate vital links between diseases and genetic variants. Sub-Saharan Africa and ...
Quinine monotherapy for treating uncomplicated malaria in the era of artemisinin-based combination therapy: an appropriate public health policy?
(The Lancet infectious diseases, 2009)
Several African countries that have adopted artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) as fi rst-line treatment of
uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria also use quinine monotherapy as second-line therapy. This ...
Political analysis of rapid change in Uganda’s health financing policy and consequences on service delivery for malaria control
(The international journal of health planning and management, 2004)
The aim of this study was to assess the political and social dynamics resulting from the rapid
change in user-fee reforms in Uganda and the effects on service delivery for malaria control.
Using political mapping and ...
High Risk of Neutropenia in HIV-Infected Children following Treatment with Artesunate plus Amodiaquine for Uncomplicated Malaria in Uganda
(Clinical infectious diseases, 2008)
Artemisinin-based combination therapies are rapidly being adopted for the treatment of malaria
in Africa; however, there are limited data on their safety and efficacy among human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV)–infected ...
Malaria in camps for internally-displaced persons in Uganda: evaluation of an insecticide-treated bednet distribution programme
(Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2004)
Malaria is a key health problem among displaced populations in malariaendemic areas. Mass distribution of insecticide-treated bednets (ITN) to prevent malaria is often carried out in complex emergencies, but there are few ...
The Global Fund: managing great expectations
(The Lancet, 2004)
The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria was created to increase funds to combat these three
devastating diseases. We report interim findings, based on interviews with 137 national-level respondents that ...
Urban malaria: primary caregivers’ knowledge, attitudes, practices and predictors of malaria incidence in a cohort of Ugandan children
(Tropical medicine & international health, 2003)
To assess malaria-related knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) among primary
caregivers, to identify associations between primary caregivers characteristics and positive KAP
towards malaria, and to identify independent ...
Incidence and geographic distribution of endemic Burkitt lymphoma in northern Uganda revisited
(International journal of cancer, 2008)
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is etiologically associated with
Epstein-Barr virus and ecologically linked to Plasmodium falciparum
malaria. However, these infections imperfectly correlate with
BL epidemiology. To obtain ...
On oscillatory pattern of malaria dynamics in a population with temporary immunity
(Taylor & Francis, 2007)
We use a model to study the dynamics of malaria in the human and mosquito population to
explain the stability patterns of malaria. The model results show that the disease-free
equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable ...

(The Middle European Journal of Medicine, 2008)
A comprehensive, representative malaria survey has been carried out in a population of internally displaced persons (IDP) in the district of Gulu, Northern Uganda. It included 74 households and 390 persons, and covered ...
