The use of video job-aids to improve the quality of seasonal malaria chemoprevention delivery

PLOS Digital Health, 2022
Mobile phones are increasingly used in community health programmes, but the use of video job-aids that can be displayed on smart phones has not been widely exploited. We investigated the use of video job-aids to support the delivery of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in countries in West and Central Africa. The study was prompted by the need for

Associations Between Climate‐Sensitive Nutrients, Clinical Malaria, and Anaemia Among Young Children in Rural Burkina Faso: An Analysis of Baseline Data From a Cluster‐Randomised Controlled Trial

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 181-189, February 2026.
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 ...

Modeling the potential effect of cabamiquine-pyronaridine for chemoprevention against Plasmodium falciparum malaria

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
Preventive treatment (chemoprevention) is a key intervention for reducing the burden of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in children. The impact of the current widely used drug combination, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine-amodiaquine (SP-AQ), is challenged by ...

Burden and Predictors of Anaemia in Children 1 to 5 Years at the Ejura‐Sekyedumase Municipality in Ghana

Anemia, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The burden and effects of anaemia remain high worldwide, with predictors varying by location, demographics, and socioeconomic factors. Knowing localised, specific predictors of anaemia helps develop targeted local interventions. We therefore set out to determine the prevalence and predictors of anaemia in a semiurban and rural community in ...

Malaria Elimination in Suriname, Timor‐Leste and Georgia: Strategic Lessons for Sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with over 263 million cases and 597,000 deaths estimated in 2023, of which 94% occurred in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Despite this heavy burden, several low‐ and middle‐income countries have recently succeeded in eliminating local malaria transmission.
