Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and safety of CGP 56697 (artemether and benflumetol) compared with chloroquine to treat acute falciparum malaria in Tanzanian children aged 1–5 years

Christoph Hatz, +8 more
- 01 Jun 1998 - 
TL;DR: CGP 56697 is highly efficacious against P. falciparum in this area of Tanzania and contributes to the discussion on treatment strategies, particularly whether chloroquine may still fulfil its role as first‐line drug in an area of high malaria transmission and very high levels of chloroquines resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and side effects of praziquantel against Schistosoma mansoni in a community of western Côte d'Ivoire.

Giovanna Raso, +9 more
- 01 Jan 2004 - 
TL;DR: The findings call for additional studies that rigorously evaluate the efficacy of praziquantel against different schistosome species in entire communities, using similarly sensitive diagnostic approaches as employed here.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surveillance-response systems : the key to elimination of tropical diseases

Ernest Tambo, +10 more
- 27 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: A priority research agenda within a ‘One Health-One World’ frame of global health was developed, including the establishment of a platform for resource-sharing and effective surveillance-response systems for Asia Pacific and Africa with an initial focus on elimination of lymphatic filariasis, malaria and schistosomiasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of low level Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia in anaemia among infants living in an area of intense and perennial transmission

Andrew Y Kitua, +6 more
- 01 Aug 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that interventions which lower parasite densities in areas of intense transmission reduce the development of severe malarial anaemia and thus malaria‐related mortality and morbidity in infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationships between the outcome of plasmodium falciparum infection and the intensity of transmission in africa

Thomas J. Smith, +3 more
- 01 Aug 2004 - 
TL;DR: The analysis of the Senegalese data indicates that the peak incidence rate of disease relative to infection rates is in the youngest age groups in both the villages of Dielmo and Ndiop, which suggests that simple models of acquired clinical immunity can explain age-incidence profiles better when incidence is expressed in relation to h, than when expressed in comparison to the EIR.
