Modeling the Impact of Malaria Chemoprevention with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine on the spread of Plasmodium falciparum dhps A581G mutation

Infectious Disease Modelling
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is a key antimalarial used in chemoprevention strategies, including intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp); intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi); seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC); and ...

Travel and the emergence of high-level drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum in southwest Uganda: results from a population-based study. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: The I164L mutation on the dhfr gene confers high level resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) but it is rare in Africa except in a cluster of reports where prevalence >10% in highland areas of southwest Uganda and eastern Rwanda.

Review of mass drug administration for malaria and its operational challenges. [PDF]

, 2015
Mass drug administration (MDA) was a component of many malaria programs during the eradication era, but later was seldomly deployed due to concerns regarding efficacy and feasibility and fear of accelerating drug resistance.

Reactive community-based self-administered treatment against residual malaria transmission: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Systematic treatment of all individuals living in the same compound of a clinical malaria case may clear asymptomatic infections and possibly reduce malaria transmission, where this is focal.

Factors associated with malaria transmission in children aged 3 to 59 months during seasonal malaria chemoprevention implementation, Kotido District, Uganda, 2024

Journal of Interventional Epidemiology and Public Health
Introduction: Uganda introduced seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in the Karamoja region, an area where transmission of malaria is high. While SMC is effective in similar settings, 2023 surveillance data in Kotido District showed a 15% increase in ...

Does insecticide resistance contribute to heterogeneities in malaria transmission in The Gambia? [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Malaria hotspots, areas with consistently higher than average transmission, may become increasingly common as malaria declines. This phenomenon, currently observed in The Gambia, may be caused by several factors, including some related to the
