MalCommit - Understanding Sexual Commitment and Early Differentiation of Malaria Transmission Stages (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/en/projects/project-detail/project/malcommit-understanding-sexual-commitment-and-early-differentiation-of-malaria-transmission-stages
The project aims to understand the processes responsible for the differentiation of asexual malaria blood stage parasites into sexual forms. The anticipated results may open up new avenues for the development

life of bednets for malaria control in Tanzania: Attrition, Bioefficacy, Chemistry, Damage and insecticide Resistance. Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are the front line malaria vector control tool [...] practice for the maintenance of high and cost-effective coverage and to maximise current gains in malaria control. We will make the data available to stakeholders including NMCP and their collaborators:
Understanding heterogeneities in the epidemiology of malaria in Papua New Guinea (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/en/projects/project-detail/project/understanding-heterogeneities-in-the-epidemiology-of-malaria-in-papua-new-guinea
Background Malaria has been endemic across most parts of Papua New Guinea (PNG) at endemicity levels comparable to sub-Saharan Africa. The National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) has managed to substantially [...] impact of malaria control interventions and underlying secular trends. Drivers of change, and reasons for differences between sites will be investigated. 2) Geo-referenced data on clinical malaria cases will [...] ongoing mathematical modelling of heterogeneities in malaria dynamics at...

in the malaria product portfolio of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and partners. This model-based evidence combined with costs and economic analysis supports strategic decisions for malaria.
Mapping the endemicity and seasonality of clinical malaria for intervention targeting in Haiti using routine case data (Publications)
Towards the goal of malaria elimination on Hispaniola, the National Malaria Control Program of Haiti and its international partner organisations are conducting a campaign of interventions targeted to high-risk
A stable, oligosymptomatic malaria focus in Thailand (Publications)
residents of a non-migratory farming village in south-eastern Thailand was visually examined for malaria parasites monthly for 2 years. Nearly 97% of the population had at least one (median = 5) patent [...] negative. The spleen rate (89% stage 1) was 24% in those under 15 years old and 7% in those older. No malaria mortality was seen P. falciparum cases treated for 10 d with quinine+tetracycline (QT) cleared the [...] better with MSP than with QT. The role played by hyperendemic, cryptic foci...
Leucopenia and abnormal liver function in travellers on malaria chemoprophylaxis (Publications)
Of 2887 travellers between the years 1984-1985, 451 on prophylactic antimalarials were studied retrospectively for adverse haematological or hepatic drug reactions and compared to 296 drug non-users.
