Globally nearly 40% of children under 5 years old are anaemic, which affects their ability to grow and develop. A cluster randomised trial was conducted in 60 communities in Southern Mali to evaluate the added impact of home fortification with micronutrient powders, delivered alongside seasonal malaria chemoprevention, on anaemia, malaria infection ...

A Novel Inhibitor against the Bromodomain Protein 1 of the Malaria Pathogen Plasmodium Falciparum
This article presents the development of a first‐in‐class inhibitor targeting the bromodomain protein PfBDP1 in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest variant of the malaria‐causing Plasmodium parasites. Through structure‐based drug design, the inhibitor interactions were characterized via X‐ray crystallography and isothermal titration calorimetry ...

Short Report: Association Between Chloroquine and Amodiaquine Resistance and Allelic Variation in the Plasmodium Falciparum Multiple Drug Resistance 1 Gene and the Chloroquine Resistance Transporter Gene in Isolates from the Upper Nile in Southern Sudan. [PDF]
Amodiaquine, a 4-aminoquinoline compound, is being considered as an alternative to chloroquine and pyrimethamine/sulfadoxine where resistance in Plasmodium falciparum to both drugs has been selected.

Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria provides substantial protection against malaria in children already protected by an insecticide-treated bednet in Burkina Faso: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in children (IPTc) is a promising new approach to the control of malaria in areas of seasonal malaria transmission but it is not known if IPTc adds to the protection provided by an insecticide ...
