Prevention Africa

The objectives of this group of projects are to identify at least one safe and effective alternative to sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) for intermittent preventative treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) in Africa and to identify new strategies to replace IPTp for areas with reduced/low transmission or high SP resistance.

The projects are:

New Drugs for IPTp

Evaluation of alternative antimalarial drugs to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) in the context of insecticide treated nets

IPT with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine versus intermittent screening and treatment of malaria in pregnancy

Intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine versus intermittent screening and treatment of malaria in pregnancy

Prevention Malawi – ISTp versus IPTp-SP

Scheduled intermittent screening and treatment in pregnancy (ISTp) versus intermittent preventive treatment with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) in women protected by insecticide treated nets (ITNs) for the control of malaria in pregnancy in Malawi: a randomized controlled trial.

IPTp Effectiveness multicentre study

Monitoring Sulphadoxine-Pyrimethamine (SP) Resistance and the Effectiveness of Intermittent Preventive Treatment (IPT) for the Control of Malaria in Pregnancy
