As malaria transmission declines, an increasing proportion of infections persist in the body at low levels. Low-density malaria infection (LMI) are often chronic and represent a high proportion of infections [...] they may provide protective immunity again future malaria illness. There is a growing body evidence to suggest that LMI are associated with recurrent malaria, chronic anemia, poor growth, co-infection with [...] for malaria (using RDT and qPCR) three times annually, with AL...
PATH Malaria Vaccine Modelling (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/fr/projects/project-detail/project/path-malaria-vaccine-modelling
RTS,S/AS01 (RTS,S) is the world’s first malaria vaccine shown to provide partial protection against malaria in young children. In October 2021, WHO recommended widespread use of RTS,S among children in [...] in regions with moderate to high P. falciparum malaria transmission. This recommendation is based on a Phase 3 trial completed in Africa in 2015 and the implementation programme in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi [...] we provided modelling evidence to support this recommendation and continued to...
Science of Eradication: Malaria (Courses)
Eradication: Malaria Core Course is an intensive weeklong foundational leadership development course that provides participants with a multidisciplinary perspective on approaches to malaria elimination

The current mandate focuses on programmes for Malaria and AAT control with a flagship character that had been implemented by Biovision and their strong [...] These will address the following four key topics: a) uptake, ownership and...
Malawi Malaria Indicator Survey Quality Assurance Services (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/fr/projects/project-detail/project/malawi-malaria-indicator-survey-quality-assurance-services
Malaria indicator surveys are an important source of data on disease burden (parasite prevalence, fever prevalence, etc), and coverage of malaria prevention and case management interventions, particularly [...] decisions. The objective of this mandate of Global Fund was to assess the extent to which the Malawi malaria indicator survey 2021 activities were planned, coordinated, and executed according to the standard

Our work is based on the OpenMalaria modelling platform developed by the [...] elaboration of country malaria strategic plans and provide insight to the coming...
Exploring the mechanisms of heritable gene silencing and singular gene choice to understand antigenic variation in malaria parasites (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/fr/projects/project-detail/project/exploring-the-mechanisms-of-heritable-gene-silencing-and-singular-gene-choice-to-understand-antigenic-variation-in-malaria-parasites
epigenetic control mechanisms involved in the production of malaria transmission stages and in antigenic variation and immune evasion of malaria parasites. To achieve this we combine molecular and cell biology
