Mass drug administration with high-dose ivermectin and dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine for malaria elimination in an erea of low transmission with high coverage of malaria control interventions: protocol for the MASSIV cluster randomized clinical trial Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Background: With a decline in malaria burden, innovative interventions and tools are required to reduce malaria transmission further. Mass drug administration (MDA) of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) has been identified as a potential tool to further reduce malaria transmission, where coverage of vector control interventions is already high. However, the impact is limited in time. Combining an ACT with an endectocide treatment ...
Molecular-based isothermal tests for field diagnosis of malaria and their potential contribution to malaria elimination Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
In countries where malaria transmission has decreased substantially, thanks to the scale-up of control interventions, malaria elimination may be feasible. Nevertheless, this goal requires new strategies such as the active detection and treatment of infected individuals. As the detection threshold for the currently used diagnostic methods is 100 parasites/μL, most low-density, asymptomatic infections able to maintain transmission cannot be ...
