Imported malaria predominates in near-elimination settings in Southwestern Uganda

MMMonica MbabaziSKShahiid KiyagaTKThomas Katairo

Key Points

  • Imported malaria predominates in Maziba and Muko, highlighting the need for timely interventions.
  • Local transmission is more significant in Kamwezi, with genetic data supporting differentiated strategies.
  • Tailored interventions addressing both travel-associated risks and local transmission are necessary for success.
  • Malaria control efforts must adapt to regional importation patterns to fully advance elimination efforts.

Abstract

Malaria in Maziba and Muko was driven largely by importation from other parts of Uganda, while local transmission played a larger role in Kamwezi . Tailored interventions addressing travel-associated risks and local transmission, supported by travel histories and parasite genetic data will be valuable to advance malaria elimination in this region.
