The effect of holes in long-lasting insecticidal nets on malaria in Malawi: results from a case–control study

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are a cornerstone of malaria prevention. Holes develop in LLINs over time and compromise their physical integrity, but how holes affect malaria transmission risk is not well known.

Natural infections with different Plasmodium species induce antibodies reactive to a chimeric Plasmodium vivax recombinant protein

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background As malaria incidence and transmission in a region decreases, it becomes increasingly difficult to identify areas of active transmission. Improved methods for identifying and monitoring foci of active malaria transmission are needed in areas of

Prevention Efforts for Malaria [PDF]

Current Tropical Medicine Reports, 2018
Le paludisme reste un fardeau mondial contribuant à la morbidité et à la mortalité, en particulier chez les enfants de moins de 5 ans. Malgré les progrès réalisés dans la réduction de la charge du paludisme, l'élimination dans un plus grand nombre de pays reste un défi.

Prevention of malaria in pregnancy

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2018
(Abstracted from Lancet Infect Dis 2018;18:e119–e132) Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has established recommendations for prevention of malaria, it remains one of the most preventable causes of adverse birth outcomes. The WHO recommends intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with for women who are HIV-negative, or ...

Assessing bed net damage: comparisons of three measurement methods for estimating the size, shape, and distribution of holes on bed nets

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Measuring the physical condition of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) under field conditions is of great importance for malaria control programmes to guide decisions on how frequently to replace LLINs.

Stability testing of dried Plasmodium falciparum positive quality control samples for malaria rapid diagnostic tests in Liberia and Benin

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are largely responsible for the gains made in the proportion of malaria cases confirmed with a parasitological test. However, quality assurance programs to support their use remain a challenge.

Performance of antigen detection for HRP2-based malaria rapid diagnostic tests in community surveys: Tanzania, July–November 2017

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) based on the detection of the Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2) antigen are widely used for detection of active infection with this parasite and are the only practical malaria ...
