A roadmap for understanding sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in malaria chemoprevention. [PDF]
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is the standard of care for Plasmodium falciparum malaria chemoprevention among pregnant women, infants, and children. However, SP’s antimalarial effectiveness is potentially threatened by resistant parasites. Developing alternative chemoprevention products and other prevention products, such as vaccines and monoclonal ...
