Additional research in Equatorial Guinea shows that screening technology commonly used in the region cannot detect parasites in most of the contaminated supplies.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended in 2012 to add single low-dose primaquine (SLDPQ) to standard artemisinin based combination treatments (ACTs) to block the transmission of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The target dose of 0.25 mg base/kg body weight (15 mg in a 60 kg adult) was consid...

Global health officials could improve surveillance of antimalarial resistance by applying new technologies for conducting in vitro and molecular studies, and supporting national reference laboratories in malaria-endemic countries, a recently published review reports.

Children suffering from malaria and malnutrition might experience diminished height growth when treated for both conditions simultaneously, according to a recently published article.

A new study published today reveals the challenges of establishing sustainable and effective networks to tackle resistance to antimicrobial medicines in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

The fourth Quality of Medical Products and Public Health course will take place in Oxford this year, from 17-21 September, at Wolfson College. This multidisciplinary course is aimed at professionals who are interested in the quality of medical products. The application deadline is 18 May.

Researchers seeking to boost malaria control and elimination efforts in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) have demonstrated the feasibility of obtaining close to real-time information on the prevalence and distribution of molecular markers of resistance to Artemisinin Combination Therapies (ACTs).

After convening 44 clinical research professionals from 20 countries who share the common goal of improving the quality of their data, coordinators of the ground-breaking Newton workshop in Nairobi said they hoped to hold similar sessions in the future, to help provide the skills and networks needed...

Seeking to support data management skills development among early- to mid-career malaria researchers, WWARN will host a free practical workshop in April at the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM) 2018 meeting in Dakar, Senegal.

Resistance to the commonly used antimalarial treatment artesunate might have contributed to the death of a patient suffering from severe malaria on the Thailand-Myanmar border, a recently published article reveals.

A systematic review of research on treatments for malaria in pregnancy has suggested new approaches to analysing available efficacy data and to assessing and reporting safety in studies, two recently published articles report.

Looking forward to the day when all infectious disease data is collected and stored in a common format, WWARN data managers recently completed training provided by the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC), which will help advance plans for a more integrated approach.

Citing a rise in global malaria cases last year, World Health Organization officials have released the 2017 World Malaria Report with warnings of stalled progress in the fight against the disease and calls for urgent action to shore up gains made in recent years.

Two new WHO publications highlight the prevalence and impact of substandard and falsified medical products. An estimated 1 in 10 medical products circulating in low- and middle-income countries is either substandard or falsified, according to new research from the World Health Organization (WHO).

New literature review on soil-transmitted helminths provides compelling evidence for the need to develop a data sharing platform to monitor and improve treatment outcomes for this neglected tropical disease.
