This study, in a high transmission area of South Mali, explores whether residual parasitaemia at day 28 was associated with subsequent malaria episodes and/or anaemia.

This disappointment and the successful use of natural compounds emerging from traditional medicine for the chemotherapy of malaria (quinine, artemisnin) have invigorated the search for new antimalarials from natural sources. Hundreds of thousands compounds were screened and some promising leads were identified.

This study explored stakeholders' perceptions of the role of private medicine retailers (PMRs), the value and feasibility of programme goals, perceived programme impact, factors influencing implementation and recommendations in three districts of Kenya.

Recent advances in genome-based technologies and in in vitro screening of whole parasites have broadened the range of therapeutic targets and are accelerating the development of a new generation of treatments for both malaria control and eradication.
