Journal ArticleDOI
Active case detection for malaria elimination: a survey among Asia Pacific countries.
Cara Smith Gueye,Kelly C. Sanders,Gawrie N. L. Galappaththy,Christina Rundi,Tashi Tobgay,Siv Sovannaroth,Qi Gao,Asik Surya,Garib Das Thakur,Mario Baquilod,Won-Ja Lee,Alby Bobogare,Sarath L Deniyage,Wichai Satimai,George Taleo,Nguyen M Hung,Chris Cotter,Michelle S. Hsiang,Lasse S Vestergaard,Roly Gosling +19 more
TL;DR: Case investigation and reactive case detection are implemented in the malaria elimination programmes in the Asia Pacific, however practices vary widely from country to country and little evidence available to support countries in deciding which methods to maintain, change or adopt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum and imbalanced pro-inflammatory cytokines are associated with severe malaria in Mozambican children: a case-control study.
Eduard Rovira-Vallbona,Gemma Moncunill,Quique Bassat,Quique Bassat,Ruth Aguilar,Ruth Aguilar,Sonia Machevo,Laura Puyol,Llorenç Quintó,Clara Menéndez,Clara Menéndez,Chetan E. Chitnis,Pedro L. Alonso,Pedro L. Alonso,Carlota Dobaño,Carlota Dobaño,Alfredo Mayor,Alfredo Mayor +17 more
TL;DR: The lower levels of antibodies found in children with SM compared to children with UM were not attributable to lower exposure to P. falciparum, and an imbalanced pro-inflammatory cytokine response may exacerbate the severity of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community response to intermittent preventive treatment delivered to infants (IPTi) through the EPI system in Manhiça, Mozambique
Robert Pool,Khátia Munguambe,Khátia Munguambe,Eusebio Macete,Pedro Aide,Geraldina Juma,Pedro L. Alonso,Pedro L. Alonso,Clara Menéndez,Clara Menéndez +9 more
TL;DR: Whether the introduction of IPTi negatively affects community attitudes to, or use of, EPI; or, conversely, whether and if so how, the concurrent delivery of IP Ti and immunization influences perceptions ofIPTi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the impact of decay in bed-net efficacy on malaria transmission
Calistus N. Ngonghala,Calistus N. Ngonghala,Sara Y. Del Valle,Ruijun Zhao,Jemal Mohammed-Awel +4 more
TL;DR: A model for malaria spread is developed that captures the decrease in ITN effectiveness due to physical and chemical decay, as well as human behavior as a function of time, and determines coverage levels required to control malaria for different ITN efficacies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of KO-Tab 1-2-3: a wash-resistant 'dip-it-yourself' insecticide formulation for long-lasting treatment of mosquito nets.
TL;DR: This finding raises the prospect of conventional polyester nets being converted into long-lasting insecticidal nets through simple dipping in the community or at home and could transform the malaria control landscape in Africa and have a major impact on malaria.

Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria mortality rates in South Asia and in Africa: implications for malaria control.
TL;DR: This work examines malaria-related mortality under different circumstances and discusses implications for the management of malaria in these settings and emphasizes the power of rapid case treatment to save lives at risk under virtually all circumstances of malaria transmission.
Journal Article
Epidemiology of malaria in displaced Khmers on the Thai-Kampuchean border.
TL;DR: Malaria epidemiology from 1983 to 1985 in displaced Khmers living in camps on the Thai-Kampuchean border was studied and Epidemiological information has been more useful for planning than for evaluating control measures.
