Seasonal Malaria Vaccination with or without Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2021
Malaria control remains a challenge in many parts of the Sahel and sub-Sahel regions of Africa.We conducted an individually randomized, controlled trial to assess whether seasonal vaccination with RTS,S/AS01E was noninferior to chemoprevention in preventing uncomplicated malaria and whether the two interventions combined were superior to either one ...

Evaluation of direct and indirect effects of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Mali [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractRandomized controlled trials have established that seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in children is a promising strategy to reduce malaria transmission in Sahelian West Africa. This strategy was recently introduced in a dozen countries, and about 12 million children received SMC in 2016. However, evidence on SMC effectiveness under routine
