Res Sq
. 2025 Mar;
PMID: 40034450
Background: Histidine Rich Protein 2 (HRP2)/pan-Lactate Dehydrogenase (pLDH) combination Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) may address the shortcomings of RDTs that detect HRP2 alone. However, the relative contribution of the possible...

Res Sq
. 2025 Feb;
PMID: 39975885
Background: Molecular surveillance of drug-resistant is crucial for malaria control in endemic regions. Two targeted-resequencing tools, the Molecular Inversion Probe (MIP) drug resistance panel DR23K and the Multiplexed Amplicons for...

. 2025 Jan;
PMID: 39802777
Background: The treatment and control of malaria in Africa is challenged by drug resistance, including transporter, folate pathway, and PfK13 mutations that mediate resistance to aminoquinolines, antifolates, and artemisinins, respectively....

. 2024 Dec;
19(12):e0312554.
PMID: 39715211
Background: Understanding COVID-19's impact on children is vital for public health policy, yet age-specific data is scarce, especially in Uganda. This study examines SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and risk factors among Ugandan...

. 2024 Nov;
68(12):e0118324.
PMID: 39545737
Artemisinin partial resistance (ART-R) has emerged in eastern Africa, necessitating regular surveillance of susceptibility of to artemisinins. The microscopy-based ring-stage survival assay (RSA) provides a laboratory correlate of ART-R but...

medRxiv
. 2024 Sep;
PMID: 39252921
The introduction of artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs) has significantly reduced the burden of malaria, yet the emergence of artemisinin partial resistance (ART-R) as well as partner drug resistance threatens these...

Sensitive and modular amplicon sequencing of diversity and resistance for research and public health
Aranda-Diaz A, Vickers E, Murie K, Palmer B, Hathaway N, Gerlovina I, et al.
bioRxiv
. 2024 Sep;
PMID: 39229023
Background: Targeted amplicon sequencing is a powerful and efficient tool for interrogating the genome, generating actionable data from infections to complement traditional malaria epidemiology. For maximum impact, genomic tools should...

68(9):e0046624.
PMID: 39136468
Novel antimalarials are urgently needed to combat rising resistance to available drugs. The imidazolopiperazine ganaplacide is a promising drug candidate, but decreased susceptibility of laboratory strains has been linked to...
