Adaptation of lot quality assurance sampling to monitor seasonal malaria chemoprevention delivery performance. [PDF]

Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg
Abstract Malaria Consortium supports delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) to children ages 3–59 months using sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine. Lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) was adapted as a cost-efficient method for end-of-cycle SMC monitoring surveys across supported countries and an implementation ...

Malaria intervention scale-up in Africa : effectiveness predictions for health programme planning tools, based on dynamic transmission modelling [PDF]

, 2016
Scale-up of malaria prevention and treatment needs to continue to further important gains made in the past decade, but national strategies and budget allocations are not always evidence-based.

Making the most of malaria chemoprevention

Malaria Journal
Against a backdrop of stalled progress in malaria control, it is surprising that the various forms of malaria chemoprevention are not more widely used. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended several malaria chemoprevention strategies, some ...

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 ...

Plasmodium falciparum drug resistance in Angola [PDF]

, 2016
Facing chloroquine drug resistance, Angola promptly adopted artemisinin-based combination therapy as the first-line to treat malaria. Currently, the country aims to consolidate malaria control, while preparing for the elimination of the disease, along ...

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 ...

Climate change and resilience of the Senegalese health system in the face of the floods in Keur Massar

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1840-1859, November 2024.
Abstract This article is based on the observation that the affected populations perceive existing community‐based adaptation strategies to the health effects of floods differently. We explore the resilience of the local health system to climate change (CC) in Keur Massar (Senegal) using a monographic approach based on a qualitative survey of flooded ...
