TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of different dosing schedules on Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) clinical efficacy was investigated, and a multivariable model was used to identify risk factors for parasite recrudescence.

TL;DR: The timing, parasitaemia level and number of peripheral malaria infections, but not the presence of fever, were associated with adverse birth outcomes and prompt malaria detection and treatment should be offered to pregnant women.

TL;DR: Criminals are producing diverse harmful anti-malarial counterfeits with important public health consequences and with the threatening spread of artemisinin resistance to Africa, much greater investment is required to ensure the quality of ACTs and removal of artesunate monotherapies.
