Short‐Course Low‐Dose Primaquine for Radical Cure in G6PD‐Normal Patients in the Pre‐Elimination Context of Nepal

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Plasmodium vivax remains a challenge for malaria elimination in Nepal due to its ability to relapse. Radical cure with primaquine is effective but limited by poor adherence to the standard 14‐day low‐dose regimen. In 2022, the WHO recommended administering the same total dose (3.5 mg/kg) over 7 days to improve adherence.

Life Course Malaria Exposure and SARS‐CoV‐2 Seroepidemiology in Ugandan Adolescents: A Longitudinal Study Nested in a Birth Cohort

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background COVID‐19 has had major global health impacts, yet reported morbidity and mortality have been lower in Africa despite serological evidence of widespread infection. Malaria has been proposed as a potential modifier of susceptibility to and outcomes of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.

Transfusion‐transmitted malaria in India: A national survey of epidemiology and testing practices

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Malaria still poses a public health burden in India despite ongoing elimination efforts. Blood donor screening for malaria is mandated in India, yet data on transfusion‐transmitted malaria (TTM) are lacking. We sought to evaluate testing practices for malaria, associated rates of positivity in donors and reported ...
