Malaria DREAM Challenge on drug resistance: open for pre-registration

Malaria is still a global health burden, despite numerous coordinated efforts for eradication. One obstacle to eradication is the malaria parasite’s quick adaptation to anti-malarial drugs resulting in drug resistance. Resistance mechanisms are ill understood for many antimalarials, making it diffic...

Study Group assessing the relationship between haemoglobin and haematocrit measurements

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.
