Seasonal Intermittent Preventive Treatment for the Prevention of Anaemia and Malaria in Ghanaian Children: A Randomized, Placebo Controlled Trial
Margaret Kweku,Dongmei Liu,Martin Adjuik,Fred Binka,Mahmood Abdulai Seidu,Brian Greenwood,Daniel Chandramohan +6 more
TL;DR: IPTc is safe and efficacious in reducing the burden of malaria in an area of Ghana with a prolonged, intense malaria transmission season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization and validation of multi-coloured capillary electrophoresis for genotyping of Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface proteins (msp1 and 2).
Anne Liljander,Lisa Wiklund,Nicole Falk,Margaret Kweku,Andreas Mårtensson,Ingrid Felger,Anna Färnert +6 more
TL;DR: One of the most widely-used protocols for genotyping of P. falciparum msp1 and msp2 has been adapted to capillary electrophoresis (CE), resulting in the same outcome classification, however with more precise determination by CE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Publication practices and responsible authorship: a review article.
TL;DR: The authors have sought to highlight the pitfalls researchers sometimes entangle themselves within an act of compromise thereby impinging on the ethical and professional responsibilities for the content of a paper under consideration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Options for the delivery of intermittent preventive treatment for malaria to children: a community randomised trial.
Margaret Kweku,Jayne Webster,Martin Adjuik,Samuel Abudey,Brian Greenwood,Daniel Chandramohan +5 more
TL;DR: Seasonal IPTc delivered through community-based or facility-based systems can achieve a high coverage rate with the support and supervision of the district health management team, however, in order to maximise the impact, both delivery systems may be needed in some settings.
