Epidemiology of Malaria
Infection in Sub-Saharan
African Countries
REFNo: HS5543ES
Primary Objective
1.To estimate the site-specific IR of
P. falciparum infection by rapid
diagnostic test (RDT) testing,
overall and by age group (5-11
years, 12-17 years, 18-60 years)
during the active detection of
infection period.
Secondary objectives
1.To evaluate the agreement
between RDT and thick blood
smear (TBS), and to evaluate the
sensitivity and specificity of RDT
and TBS using quantitative
polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)
as the gold standard for the
identification of P. falciparum
infection, at baseline and at two
and six months after enrolment.
2.To estimate the site-specific IR of
P. falciparum infections detected
by both active and passive
surveillance over the complete follow-up period (0-6 months),
overall and by age group (5-11
years, 12-17 years, 18-60 years).

MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING
ENZYME GENE POLYMORPHISMS AMONG TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS NEPHROPATHY IN
SOUTHWESTERN UGANDA
REFNo: HS5520ES
Objectives:
Main Objective
1. To characterize angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphisms and determine their relationship with the biomarkers of nephropathy and metabolic indicators as well as explore the barriers and motivators to screening for nephropathy among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus living in southwestern Uganda.
Specific Objectives
1. To conduct a systematic review on the ACE I/D polymorphisms and the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio as predictive markers of nephropathy among adult type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
2. To establish the ACE alleles and genotypes present in the genome of patients with T2D at the MRRH in SW in Uganda.
3. To determine the association between ACE gene polymorphisms and nephropathy biomarkers among T2D patients at the MRRH in SW Uganda.
4. To determine the association between ACE gene polymorphisms and metabolic indicators among T2D patients at the MRRH in SW Uganda.
5. To explore the barriers and motivators to screening for nephropathy as a health-seeking behavior among T2D patients receiving healthcare at the DM clinic in MRRH in SW Uganda.
