Knowledge and acceptance of malaria vaccine among parents of under‐five children of malaria endemic areas in Bangladesh: A cross‐sectional study

Health Expectations, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 2630-2643, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Malaria exists as an endemic in many countries including Bangladesh and the malaria vaccine is not yet available here. The study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and acceptance of the malaria vaccination among the parents of children under the age of five in Bangladesh's malaria‐endemic areas and the sociodemographic ...

Pharmacokinetic considerations in seasonal malaria chemoprevention

Trends in Parasitology, 2022
Los niños africanos menores de 5 años soportan la principal carga de la mortalidad mundial por malaria. La quimioprevención estacional de la malaria (SMC) con sulfadoxina-pirimetamina (SP) más amodiaquina (AQ) administrada mensualmente durante la temporada de lluvias es una intervención altamente efectiva contra la malaria para niños de entre 3 meses y

Review of intervention products for use in the prevention and control of anemia

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1529, Issue 1, Page 42-60, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Anemia remains a major public health problem, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. The World Health Organization recommends several interventions to prevent and manage anemia in vulnerable population groups, including young children, menstruating adolescent girls and women, and pregnant and postpartum women.

A proposed method of grading malaria chemoprevention efficacy [PDF]

, 2023
The efficacy and effectiveness of antimalarial drugs are threatened by increasing levels of resistance and therefore require continuous monitoring. Chemoprevention is increasingly deployed as a malaria control measure, but there are no generally accepted

Spatial Optimization Methods for Malaria Risk Mapping in Sub‐Saharan African Cities Using Demographic and Health Surveys

GeoHealth, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Vector‐borne diseases, such as malaria, are affected by the rapid urban growth and climate change in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). In this context, intra‐urban malaria risk maps act as a key decision‐making tool for targeting malaria control interventions, especially in resource‐limited settings.

Efficacy and safety of primaquine and methylene blue for prevention of Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Mali: a phase 2, single-blind, randomised controlled trial. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Primaquine and methylene blue are gametocytocidal compounds that could prevent Plasmodium falciparum transmission to mosquitoes. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of primaquine and methylene blue in preventing human to mosquito ...

Seasonal malaria vaccination: protocol of a phase 3 trial of seasonal vaccination with the RTS,S/AS01_Evaccine, seasonal malaria chemoprevention and the combination of vaccination and chemoprevention

BMJ Open, 2020
IntroductionSeasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC), with sulphadoxine–pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine (SP+AQ) is effective but does not provide complete protection against clinical malaria. The RTS,S/AS01Emalaria vaccine provides a high level of protection shortly after vaccination, but this wanes rapidly.

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

Analysis of Preventive Interventions for Malaria: Exploring Partial and Complete Protection and Total and Primary Intervention Effects. [PDF]

, 2015
Event dependence, the phenomenon in which future risk depends on past disease history, is not commonly accounted for in the statistical models used by malaria researchers. However, recently developed methods for the analysis of repeated events allow this
