Impact of Community-Based Mass Testing and Treatment on Malaria Infection Prevalence in a High-Transmission Area of Western Kenya: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Aaron M. Samuels et al.

Summary: The study found that conducting three rounds of community-based mass testing and treatment per year for two years did not reduce the prevalence of malaria parasites in a high-transmission area. Despite high coverage of the MTaT strategy, it did not show a significant impact on reducing malaria infection.

Association of Plasmodium falciparum kelch13 R561H genotypes with delayed parasite clearance in Rwanda: an open-label, single-arm, multicentre, therapeutic efficacy study

Aline Uwimana et al.

Summary: This study confirms the emergence of artemisinin partial resistance in Rwanda. Although artemether-lumefantrine remains efficacious, vigilance for decreasing efficacy and further characterization of artemisinin partial resistance should be considered. Evaluation of additional antimalarials in Rwanda is also recommended.

Evidence of Artemisinin-Resistant Malaria in Africa

Betty Balikagala et al.

Summary: Research conducted in Northern Uganda revealed the emergence of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains, with predominant mutations found in the kelch13 gene. Thirteen patients were infected with P. falciparum parasites carrying mutations in the A675V or C469Y allele, which were associated with prolonged parasite clearance half-lives.
