	4.	Research *Bioefficacy of long-lasting insecticidal nets against pyrethroid-resistant populations of Anopheles gambiae s.s.* from different malaria transmission zones in Uganda** Michael Okia, Richard Ndyomugyenyi, James Kirunda, Anatol Byaruhanga, Seraphine Adibaku, Denis K Lwamafa, Fred Kironde Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:130 (2 May 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Bioefficacy of long-lasting insecticidal nets against four pyrethroid-resistant populations of An. gambiae from Uganda varied depending on the net type and origin of the mosquitoes, with the exception of a combination net which performed optimally against all mosquito populations. Observed sub-optimal performance of pyrethroid-only nets is of concern, considering that all nets were unused Rresistance in Uganda is high and increasing, and scale-up of pyrethroid-treated nets is ongoing.

	5.	Research High Prevalence of tuberculosis infection among medical students in Makerere University, Kampala: results of a cross sectional study Henry Mugerwa, Denis K Byarugaba, Simon Mpooya, Penelope Miremba, Joan N Kalyango, Charles Karamagi, Achilles Katamba Archives of Public Health 2013, 71:7 (20 April 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed

This was due to the practice of presumptive treatment, inadequate training on malaria management and lack of knowledge that ACT was the recommended first-line treatment for malaria.

Wetlands can provide vital resources and can be used for fishing, hunting and planting crops in nutrient rich soil.
	13.	Research *Systemic release of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein is associated with severe and fatal Plasmodium falciparum* malaria** Sarah J Higgins, Katharine Xing, Hani Kim, Dylan C Kain, Feng Wang, Aggrey Dhabangi, Charles Musoke, Christine M Cserti-Gazdewich, Kevin J Tracey, Kevin C Kain, W Conrad Liles Malaria Journal 2013, 12:105 (19 March 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary This is a valuable study based on the results obtained for levels of HMGB1 in a highly defined patient population. These data suggest that elevated HMGB1 is an informative prognostic marker of disease severity.
