A non-randomized controlled trial to assess the protective effect of SMC in the context of high parasite resistance in Uganda

Abstract Background Until recently, due to widespread prevalence of molecular markers associated with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and amodiaquine (AQ) resistance in east and southern Africa, seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) has not been used at scale in this region. This study assessed the...
