Adherence to a Six-Dose Regimen of Artemether-Lumefantrine for Treatment of Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in Uganda. [PDF]

, 2004
Measuring baseline levels of adherence and identifying risk factors for non-adherence are important steps before the introduction of new antimalarials. In Mbarara in southwestern Uganda, we assessed adherence to artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem) in its ...

Artesunate reduces but does not prevent posttreatment transmission of Plasmodium falciparum to Anopheles gambiae.

, 2001
Combination therapy that includes artemisinin derivatives cures most falciparum malaria infections. Lowering transmission by reducing gametocyte infectivity would be an additional benefit.

Trends in Veterinary Drug Residues in US Cattle: Analysing USDA Sampling Data

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
National US residue monitoring data (2021–2023) were analysed to characterise veterinary drug residue detections in cattle. Detection patterns varied by cattle type, with dairy cows accounting for the highest number of detections and a consistent group of commonly used drugs responsible for most violative and non‐violative findings.

Parasitic Infections and Associated Cognitive Outcome Among School‐Aged Children in Africa: A Systematic Review

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Parasitic infections like schistosomiasis, soil‐transmitted helminths, and malaria can impair nutrient absorption, oxygen supply, and brain function, leading to memory deficits, attention deficits, reduced intelligence quotient, weak academic performance, and motor or executive deficits.

High prevalence of Pfdhfr–Pfdhps quadruple mutations associated with sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine resistance in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea

Malaria Journal, 2019
Sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine (SP) is recommended for intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in Africa. However, increasing SP resistance (SPR) affects the therapeutic efficacy of the SP.
