TL;DR: Efficacy of pyronaridine-artesunate was non-inferior to that of artemether-lumefantrine for treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria and should be considered for inclusion in malaria treatment programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drugs for preventing malaria in pregnant women in endemic areas: any drug regimen versus placebo or no treatment
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of malaria chemoprevention given to pregnant women living in malaria endemic areas on substantive maternal and infant health outcomes were assessed. But, only six trials had adequate allocation concealment, and these trials were underpowered to detect an effect on maternal mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Understanding the origin, function and antigen specificity of atypical memory B cells in the context of Pf infection could contribute to the understanding of naturally-acquired malaria immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is suggested that antibodies which block merozoite invasion of RBC and/or inhibit the intra-RBC growth of the parasite contribute to but are not sufficient for the acquisition of malaria immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Adding a third dose of ITPp-SP halved the risk of placental malaria, LBW, and preterm births in all gravidae, compared with the standard 2-dose regimen, in this area of highly seasonal transmission with low levels of SP resistance.
