Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention Coverage in Guinea in 2019 [PDF]

, 2020
SMC involves the administration of a treatment course of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine once a month to children aged 3 59 months during the high risk period each year to prevent malaria. SMC over 4 months of the year was introduced in Guinea in 2015 in 6 prefectures, scaling up to 13 prefectures by 2018.

Sub-national tailoring of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Mali based on malaria surveillance and rainfall data

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Abstract Background In malaria endemic countries, seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) interventions are performed during the high malaria transmission in accordance with epidemiological surveillance data. In this study we propose a predictive approach for tailoring the timing and number of cycles of SMC in all health ...
