Abstract:
Malaria remains a major cause of maternal morbidity and adverse pregnancy outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa, with rural Uganda experiencing significant challenges in ensuring effective intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy (IPTp). Community-based intermittent preventive treatment (C-IPTp) offers a promising approach to overcoming barriers such as healthcare inaccessibility and poor adherence to facility-based IPTp. This review evaluated the impact of C-IPTp on malaria incidence among pregnant women in rural Uganda using evidence from a cluster trial methodology, where villages or hea

Abstract:
<strong>Background.</strong> The intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp) policy of Malawi (2002) stipulates that IPTp is administered during antenatal care as a direct observation therapy (DOT). The policy further recommends that IPT should be administered monthly after 16 weeks of pregnancy until delivery. This study assessed both the demand and supply factors contributing to higher dropout of IPT after the first dose. Optimal number of doses was pegged at a minimum of three in accordance with WHO recommendation. <strong>Materials and methods.</strong> Data were analysed from the Malawi mult

Abstract:
Malaria infection during pregnancy is a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that gestational and congenital malaria can be prevented by using intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP). IPTp-SP is a full therapeutic course of antimalarial medicine administered during pregnancy as a component of antenatal care. This study’s objective was to assess the prevalence and predictors of IPTp-SP uptake in pregnancy in Sierra Leone. This study was based on the fifth round of the Multiple

Abstract:
Malaria infection during pregnancy is an important driver of maternal and neonatal health in endemic countries. Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is recommended for malaria prevention at each scheduled antenatal care visit, starting at the second trimester, in areas of high and moderate transmission. However, the increased resistance to SP in some endemic areas challenges its effectiveness. Furthermore, SP is contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy and in HIV-infected women on co-trimoxazole prophylaxis due to potential drug–d

Malaria infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in tropical countries, and particularly in Mozambique. Recently substantial resources have been used to reduce the burden of malaria in Mozambique. These include the distribution of insecticide treated bed-nets, indoor residual insecticide spraying, access to artemisinin-based combination treatment (ACT), and intermittent preventive treatment of pregnant women with sulfadoxine-pyrimetamine (SP-IPTp).

Identified in 1903, its global spread is influenced by socioeconomic and environmental factors. The parasites responsible for this disease are trypanosomatid protozoa that belong to the genus Leishmania. The vectors are sandflies, mainly of the species Lutzomyia longipalpis infected by Leishmania chagasi. Popularly known as sand flies, they reproduce in areas rich in organic matter.
