TL;DR: An assay to quantify rare polymorphisms in parasite populations that uses a pooled deep-sequencing approach to score allele frequencies is developed and validated by evaluating mixtures of laboratory parasite strains, and used to screen P. falciparum parasites from >1100 African infections collected since 2002.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermittent screening and treatment versus intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy: a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial.
TL;DR: It is suggested that in an area of moderately high malaria transmission, IST with SP or AS+AQ may be a safe and effective strategy for the control of malaria in pregnancy.

TL;DR: Artemether-lumefantrine was associated with the fewest adverse effects and with acceptable cure rates but provided the shortest posttreatment prophylaxis, whereas dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine had the best efficacy and an acceptable safety profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy, safety, and tolerability of amodiaquine plus sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine used alone or in combination for malaria treatment in pregnancy: a randomised trial
TL;DR: Amodiaquine alone or in combination with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine, although associated with minor side-effects, is effective when used to treat malaria in pregnancy.
