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.

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 ...

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 ...

Prevalence of molecular markers of drug resistance in an area of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in children in Senegal [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2013
In sub-Saharan Africa, malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality especially in children. In Senegal, seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) previously referred to as intermittent preventive treatment in children (IPTc) is a new strategy for malaria control in areas of high seasonal transmission.
