Epidemiology of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Uganda
REFNo: A103ES
General Objective:
To determine national PPR risk profiles [low, medium and high], seroprevalence and incidence of different PPRV lineages, factors that influence PPRV transmission and hence develop a dynamic PPRV transmission model and the best control intervention(s) to limit PPRV transmission in selected livestock production systems in Uganda
The specific objectives of this study are to:
i. stratify Uganda districts into different PPR risk profiles [low, medium and high] by undertaking presence only ecological niche (MaxEnt) modeling of the past PPR outbreaks, small ruminant movements and vaccination coverage data sets
ii. estimate seroprevalence of PPRV and epidemiological factors that influence PPRV transmission within and between different PPR risk profiles and small ruminant production systems
iii. estimate PPR incidence and PPRV lineages involved in different PPR outbreaks across different small ruminant production systems [or agro-ecological zones] in Uganda
iv. develop a PPRV transmission dynamic and eradication model for PPR in selected small ruminant production systems [agro-ecological zones] in Uganda using compartmentalized SEIR mathematical modeling approach

A randomized Trial to investigate strategies to reduce mortality among HIV-infected and HIV-exposed children admitted with severe acute malnutrition in Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda
REFNo: HS1277ES
Primary objective
1. To investigate whether empirical use of an antibiotic with greater antimicrobial sensitivity (ceftriaxone) than standard of care (ampicillin plus gentamicin) will reduce mortality among 300 HIV-infected and HEU children admitted with severe acute malnutrition at Mwanamugimu Nutrition Unit, Mulago Hospital in a randomised controlled trial.
Secondary objectives
2. To compare the length of hospitalization, weight-for-height, weight-for-age and height-for-age z-scores between ceftriaxone versus standard of care (ampicillin and gentamicin) treatment arms.
3. To ascertain the frequency of different bloodstream bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial sensitivities among HIV-infected and HEU children admitted with severe acute malnutrition at Mwanamugimu Nutrition Unit, Mulago Hospital participating in the randomised trial.
4. To ascertain the prevalence of, and factors associated with, HIV-infection among children admitted with severe acute malnutrition at Mwanamugimu Nutrition Unit, Mulago Hospital in light of improved PMTCT approaches in a cross-sectional evaluation at admission, among 280 children.
5. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of LPV/r among severely malnourished HIV infected children using sparse PK samples. The PK parameter values obtained will then be used in pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) models to determine a possible optimal dose of LPV/r among severely malnourished children, which could then subsequently be evaluated in a clinical trial.
