TL;DR: In a rural area of The Gambia, bed nets in villages participating in a primary health-care (PHC) scheme were treated with permethrin and children aged 6 months to 5 years were randomised to receive weekly either chemoprophylaxis with maloprim or a placebo throughout the malaria transmission season, finding no evidence of an additional benefit of chemopophylaxis in preventing deaths.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pedro L. Alonso,Steve W. Lindsay,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,P. Gomez,Allan G. Hill,P.H. David,Greg Fegan,K. Cham,Brian Greenwood +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used post-mortem questionnaires to identify the most common causes of death in children under the age of one year but responsible for about 40% of deaths in children aged 1-4 years.

A malaria control trial using insecticide-treated bed nets and targeted chemoprophylaxis in a rural area of The Gambia, West Africa: 6. The impact of the interventions on mortality and morbidity from malaria

TL;DR: The effects of insecticide-impregnated bed nets on mortality and morbidity from malaria have been investigated during one malaria transmission season in a group of rural Gambian children aged 6 months to 5 years as mentioned in this paper.
Journal Article
Mortality and morbidity from malaria in the study area
P. L. Alonso,Steve W. Lindsay,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,P. Gomez,Allan G. Hill,P.H. David,Greg Fegan,K. Cham,Brian Greenwood +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that malaria was an uncommon cause of death in children under the age of one year but responsible for about 40% of deaths in children aged 1-4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality and morbidity from malaria after stopping malaria chemoprophylaxis.
Brian Greenwood,P.H. David,L.N. Otoo-Forbes,Stephen Allen,Pedro L. Alonso,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,Peter Byass,M. Hurwitz,A. Menon,Robert W. Snow +9 more
TL;DR: Stopping chemoprophylaxis after a period of several years increased the risk of clinical malaria but did not result in a rebound in mortality in Gambian children, and a modest effect on mortality cannot be excluded.
