Sesay,Ismaela Abubakar,Samuel Dunyo,Omar Sey,Ayo Palmer,Malang Fofana,Tumani Corrah,Kalifa Bojang,Hilton Whittle,Brian Greenwood,David J. Conway,David J. Conway +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the changes in malaria indices in this country, and the causes and public health significance of these changes, concluding that a large proportion of the malaria burden has been alleviated in The Gambia.

TL;DR: A large proportion of the malaria burden has been alleviated in The Gambia and the results encourage consideration of a policy to eliminate malaria as a public-health problem, while emphasising the importance of accurate and continuous surveillance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is likely that young children mostly have short-lived plasma cells and thus experience rapid declines in antibody levels but that older children have longer-lasting antibody responses that depend on long-lived Plasma cell populations rather than antibody molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative efficacy of antimalarial drugs including ACTs in the treatment of uncomplicated malaria among children under 5 years in Ghana.
TL;DR: The findings are in agreement with current recommendations for using artemisinin-based combinations for treating uncomplicated malaria in areas of high CHQ failure such as Ghana.
Journal ArticleDOI
