Malaria parasite carriage before and two years after the implementation of seasonal malaria chemoprevention: a case study of the Saraya health district, southern Senegal [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2022
Background: Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) has been adopted and implemented in the southern regions of Senegal in children aged between three and 120 months since 2013. Scaling up this strategy requires its evaluation to assess the impact.

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.

Large-scale delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention to children under 10 in Senegal: an economic analysis. [PDF]

Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) is recommended for children under 5 in the Sahel and sub-Sahel. The burden in older children may justify extending the age range, as has been done effectively in Senegal.

A LC‐MS/MS Assay for Quantification of Amodiaquine and Desethylamodiaquine in Dried Blood Spots on Filter Paper

International Journal of Analytical Chemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Artesunate–amodiaquine (ARS–AQ) is a first‐line antimalarial treatment recommended by the World Health Organization. AQ is the long acting partner drug in this combination, and therapeutic success is correlated with the terminal exposure to AQ. Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling for AQ is a convenient and minimally invasive technique, especially suitable ...

Determinants of Insecticide‐Treated Net Utilization for Malaria Prevention Among Under‐Five Children in The Gambia: Evidence From National Survey

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Malaria is one of the deadliest mosquito‐borne diseases. Despite the demonstrated benefits of insecticide‐treated nets (ITNs) usage in children under 5 years of age, nonuse is linked to higher mortality and morbidity rates. This study examined how child‐, maternal‐, household‐, and community‐level determinants influence ITN utilization ...

Bayesian Modeling of Geostatistical Survival Data With Misaligned Covariates: A Simulation‐Based Study of Malaria Risk in Gabon

Journal of Probability and Statistics, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in sub‐Saharan Africa, with spatial heterogeneity in transmission posing significant challenges to effective disease control. Accurate estimation of survival risk in relation to local malaria prevalence is often hampered by spatial misalignment, a scenario in which infection covariates and ...
