16/12/2010 Journal article The clinical impact of combining intermittent preventive treatment with home management of malaria in children aged below five years: Cluster randomised trial This study aimed to investigate the impact of seasonal intermittent preventive treatment on malaria-related morbidity in children under five who already had access to home-based management of malaria for presumptive… 16/12/2010 This study aimed to investigate the impact of seasonal intermittent preventive treatment on malaria-related morbidity in children under five who already had access to home-based management of malaria for presumptive treatment of fevers.
18/11/2010 Journal article How many mosquito nets are needed to achieve universal coverage? Recommendations for the quantification and allocation of long-lasting insecticidal nets for mass campaigns Abstract Long-lasting insecticidal nets are an effective tool for malaria prevention, and "universal coverage" with such nets is increasingly the goal of national malaria control programmes. However, national level campaigns… 18/11/2010 Abstract Long-lasting insecticidal nets are an effective tool for malaria prevention, and "universal coverage" with such nets is increasingly the goal of national malaria control programmes. However, national level campaigns in several countries have run out of nets in the…

13/07/2010 Journal article Community acceptability of use of rapid diagnostic tests for malaria by community health workers in Uganda Abstract Many malarious countries plan to introduce artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) at community level using community health workers (CHWs) for treatment of uncomplicated malaria. Use of ACT with reliance on presumptive… 13/07/2010 Abstract Many malarious countries plan to introduce artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) at community level using community health workers (CHWs) for treatment of uncomplicated malaria. Use of ACT with reliance on presumptive diagnosis may lead to excessive use, increased costs and rise…
13/07/2010 Journal article Integrated surveys of neglected tropical diseases in southern Sudan: How much do they cost and can they be refined? Abstract Control of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is suggested to be more cost-effective when drugs are co-administered through a single integrated delivery system rather than separate systems. An essential prerequisite for… 13/07/2010 Abstract Control of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is suggested to be more cost-effective when drugs are co-administered through a single integrated delivery system rather than separate systems. An essential prerequisite for such efficiency gains is sufficient geographical overlap of the targeted…
12/07/2010 Journal article Use of RDTs to improve malaria diagnosis and fever case management at primary healthcare facilities in Uganda This study evaluated the effect of malaria rapid diagnostic tests on health workers' antimalarial drug prescriptions among outpatients at low-level health care facilities within different malaria epidemiological settings in… 12/07/2010 This study evaluated the effect of malaria rapid diagnostic tests on health workers' antimalarial drug prescriptions among outpatients at low-level health care facilities within different malaria epidemiological settings in Uganda.
29/06/2010 Journal article How to (or not to) integrate vertical programmes for the control of major neglected tropical diseases in sub-Saharan Africa Abstract Combining the delivery of multiple health interventions has the potential to minimize costs and expand intervention coverage. Integration of mass drug administration is therefore being encouraged for delivery of preventive… 29/06/2010 Abstract Combining the delivery of multiple health interventions has the potential to minimize costs and expand intervention coverage. Integration of mass drug administration is therefore being encouraged for delivery of preventive chemotherapy (PCT) to control onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis,…
