Effects of Drug Resistance on the Global Spread of Malaria: A Systematic Literature Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Malaria remains a major health crisis in tropical regions, with Sub‐Saharan Africa bearing the heaviest burden. While insecticide‐treated nets and artemisinin‐based combination therapies (ACTs) have reduced cases, emerging parasite resistance to artemisinin threatens these gains. This review synthesizes evidence on how drug

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

Sub-National Targeting of Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention in the Sahelian Countries of the Nouakchott Initiative [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2015
Antecedentes Se ha demostrado que la quimioprevención estacional de la malaria (SMC) es altamente eficaz contra la malaria clínica en áreas donde la transmisión es agudamente estacional. La focalización de SMC depende de una interacción compleja del clima, la transmisión de la malaria y la distribución de la población.

Geostatistical Modelling and Web‐Based Mapping of Malaria Risks Among Children Under Five Years in Nigeria: Evidence From the 2021 Nigeria Malaria Indicator Survey

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Malaria is a critical public health concern in Nigeria with the country bearing an uneven burden of the disease. In Nigeria, malaria is one of the main causes of child mortality and despite all efforts to reduce malaria mortality rates, the disease remains a major concern, notably among children under‐fives.
