ABSTRACT Objective Malaria and anaemia are significant public health challenges among young children in Burkina Faso, with complex interactions between climate variability, food security, and nutrient deficiencies. This study aimed to identify the malariometric profile and nutrient patterns among young children and to determine the associations of ...

Globally nearly 40% of children under 5 years old are anaemic, which affects their ability to grow and develop. A cluster randomised trial was conducted in 60 communities in Southern Mali to evaluate the added impact of home fortification with micronutrient powders, delivered alongside seasonal malaria chemoprevention, on anaemia, malaria infection ...

Age‑shifting in malaria incidence as a result of induced immunological deficit: a simulation study [PDF]
Effective population-level interventions against Plasmodium falciparum malaria lead to age-shifts, delayed morbidity or rebounds in morbidity and mortality whenever they are deployed in ways that do not permanently interrupt transmission.

Opportunities and Challenges of Population Pharmacogenomics
ABSTRACT Pharmacological responses can vary significantly among patients from different ethnogeographic backgrounds. This variability can, at least in part, be attributed to population‐specific genetic patterns in genes involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as in genes associated with drug‐induced toxicity ...
