Influences of intermittent preventive treatment and persistent multiclonal Plasmodium falciparum infections on clinical malaria risk. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) of malaria involves administration of curative doses of antimalarials at specified time points to vulnerable populations in endemic areas, regardless whether a subject is known to be infected.

A micro-epidemiological analysis of febrile malaria in Coastal Kenya showing hotspots within hotspots. [PDF]

, 2014
Malaria transmission is spatially heterogeneous. This reduces the efficacy of control strategies, but focusing control strategies on clusters or 'hotspots' of transmission may be highly effective.

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 ...
