Effect of seasonal malaria chemoprevention on the acquisition of antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum antigens in Ouelessebougou, Mali

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a new strategy to reduce malaria burden in young children in Sahelian countries. It consists of the administration of full treatment courses of sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine to children at

Associations Between Climate‐Sensitive Nutrients, Clinical Malaria, and Anaemia Among Young Children in Rural Burkina Faso: An Analysis of Baseline Data From a Cluster‐Randomised Controlled Trial

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 181-189, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Malaria and anaemia are significant public health challenges among young children in Burkina Faso, with complex interactions between climate variability, food security, and nutrient deficiencies. This study aimed to identify the malariometric profile and nutrient patterns among young children and to determine the associations of ...

Burden and Predictors of Anaemia in Children 1 to 5 Years at the Ejura‐Sekyedumase Municipality in Ghana

Anemia, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The burden and effects of anaemia remain high worldwide, with predictors varying by location, demographics, and socioeconomic factors. Knowing localised, specific predictors of anaemia helps develop targeted local interventions. We therefore set out to determine the prevalence and predictors of anaemia in a semiurban and rural community in ...

Micronutrient Powders Combined With Malaria Chemoprevention to Improve Anaemia and Cognitive Function in Early Childhood in Mali: A Cluster‐Randomised Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 21, Issue 4, October 2025.
Globally nearly 40% of children under 5 years old are anaemic, which affects their ability to grow and develop. A cluster randomised trial was conducted in 60 communities in Southern Mali to evaluate the added impact of home fortification with micronutrient powders, delivered alongside seasonal malaria chemoprevention, on anaemia, malaria infection ...

Opportunities and Challenges of Population Pharmacogenomics

Annals of Human Genetics, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 384-397, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Pharmacological responses can vary significantly among patients from different ethnogeographic backgrounds. This variability can, at least in part, be attributed to population‐specific genetic patterns in genes involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as in genes associated with drug‐induced toxicity ...
