Evaluation of direct and indirect effects of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Mali [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractRandomized controlled trials have established that seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in children is a promising strategy to reduce malaria transmission in Sahelian West Africa. This strategy was recently introduced in a dozen countries, and about 12 million children received SMC in 2016. However, evidence on SMC effectiveness under routine

Sub-National Targeting of Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention in the Sahelian Countries of the Nouakchott Initiative [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2015
Antecedentes Se ha demostrado que la quimioprevención estacional de la malaria (SMC) es altamente eficaz contra la malaria clínica en áreas donde la transmisión es agudamente estacional. La focalización de SMC depende de una interacción compleja del clima, la transmisión de la malaria y la distribución de la población.

Acceptability by community health workers in Senegal of combining community case management of malaria and seasonal malaria chemoprevention [PDF]

, 2013
Community case management of malaria (CCMm) and seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) are anti-malarial interventions that can lead to substantial reduction in malaria burden acting in synergy.

The use of video job-aids to improve the quality of seasonal malaria chemoprevention delivery

PLOS Digital Health, 2022
Mobile phones are increasingly used in community health programmes, but the use of video job-aids that can be displayed on smart phones has not been widely exploited. We investigated the use of video job-aids to support the delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in countries in West and Central Africa. The study was prompted by the need for

Use of population pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic modelling to inform antimalarial dose optimization in infants

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 91, Issue 4, Page 968-980, April 2025.
Infants bear a significant malaria burden but are usually excluded from participating in early dose optimization studies that inform dosing regimens of antimalarial therapy. Unlike older children, infants' exclusion from early‐phase trials has resulted in limited evidence to guide accurate dosing of antimalarial treatment for uncomplicated malaria or ...

The Evolving Landscape of Malaria Prevention Strategies: A Review of Recent Developments

Pathogens
Malaria continues to impose a devastating disease burden globally despite control efforts spanning decades. Its elimination has been hindered by parasite and vector complexity and emerging drug and insecticide resistance, along with unremitting barriers ...
