Dramatic resurgence of malaria after 7 years of intensive vector control interventions in Eastern Uganda
Tororo District, Uganda experienced a dramatic decrease in malaria burden from 2015–19 during 5 years of indoor residual spraying (IRS) with carbamate (Bendiocarb) and then organophosphate (Actellic) insecticides. However, a marked resurgence occurred in 2020, which coincided with a change to a clothianidin-based IRS formulations (Fludora Fusion/SumiShield). To quantify the magnitude of the resurgence, investigate causes, and evaluate the impact …
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing to characterize potential etiologies of non-malarial fever in a cohort living in a high malaria burden area of Uganda
Causes of non-malarial fevers in sub-Saharan Africa remain understudied. We hypothesized that metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), which allows for broad genomic-level detection of infectious agents in a biological sample, can systematically identify potential causes of non-malarial fevers. The 212 participants in this study were of all ages and were enrolled in a longitudinal malaria cohort in eastern Uganda. Between December 2020 and …
Gestational age dating using newborn metabolic screening
Background Limited ultrasound capacity in low-resource settings makes correct gestational age (GA) dating difficult. Previous work demonstrated that newborn metabolic profiles can accurately determine gestational age, but this relationship has not been evaluated in low-income countries. The objective of this study was to validate and adapt a metabolic GA dating model developed using newborn blood spots for use in a low-resource setting in rural U…
Limitations in knowledge of HIV transmission among HIV-positive patients accessing case management services in a resource-poor setting
HIV has increasingly become an infection of poverty. Adequate HIV transmission knowledge among HIV-positive patients is necessary to reduce the risk of secondary infection and protect those who are uninfected from transmission. This study was conducted among individuals enrolled in a program that serves impoverished HIV patients in the Boston area. Although the mean HIV transmission knowledge score was 80% for this group, a significant proportion…
