A White Blood Cell (WBC) Count in Malaria Study group aims to identify what determines WBC count during baseline and acute phase of malaria infection.

A Haemoglobin-Haematocrit Relationship in Malaria Study Group is assessing the accuracy of estimating haemoglobin (Hb) levels from haematocrit (Hct) levels. The aim is to use this analysis to derive a more robust formula for converting Hct to Hb levels to improve anaemia diagnosis in malaria.

The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (RSTMH) small grants programme is now open.

Paul Sondo is a molecular parasitologist from the Clinical Research Unit of Nanoro in Burkina Faso. Paul spent the last 12 months with WWARN as a recipient of the Clinical Research and Development Fellowship (CRDF), jointly implemented by TDR*, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Trop...

A recent article published in Malaria Journal by members of the WWARN Molecular Scientific and Informatics Group describes the development of WWARN’s ACT Partner Drug Molecular Surveyor. Launched in 2015, this online mapping tool supports the malaria community to track over nearly 20 years the preva...

Today IDDO has launched a new global scientific collaboration dedicated to schistosomiasis and STHs with TDR (the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases). This aims to expand data re-use and collaboration and accelerate better treatment and control of these diseases, which ...

We said goodbye at the end of 2018 to our first group of trainee data managers from Liberia and Sierra Leone. It has been great to have their skilled input now boosting our 2019 Ebola Data Team. It is all part of the launch of the Ebola Data Platform in Sierra Leone and Liberia – a collaborative eff...

Carson, Horby, Merson and colleagues promote the importance of developing clinical research networks in low-resource settings as a pillar to epidemic preparedness in a Letter to Lancet Global Health. The CTM&GH researchers are focused on developing capacity and partnerships across settings at highes...

The Wellcome Trust, Malaria Atlas Project (MAP) and Sage Bionetworks have created a new prize for proposals to develop a new insight, tool, or health application using the malaria data held by MAP.

IDDO's malaria platform, WWARN, has published its latest results in the Lancet Infectious Diseases, calling for researchers, policy makers and public health professionals to reopen discussions about the potential for changing the way uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria is treated in some regions. Th...

To celebrate International Women and Girls in Science Day 2019 we asked some of the women of IDDO about their careers in science.

Das and colleagues published in November 2018 a short letter entitled ‘Evidence of Artemisinin-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum Malaria in Eastern India’. In a subsequent paper published in CID, the same group reported the results of a study conducted between 2014–2016 in the same region, where 15 pa...
