Space-time sensitive modelling of subclinical malaria prevalence at the village level in low burden areas of Myanmar using random forest models
In low-burden areas, village-level socio-demographic, climatic and environmental factors are not sufficient to reliably predict subclinical malaria rates. Incorporating temporal predictors in areas…

Cross-sectional survey assessing the prevalence and predictors of malaria parasitaemia among children under 13 years in Karamoja region, Uganda
The prevalence of malaria in older children up to 13 years is high in Karamoja region, Uganda. Current malaria strategies should be revised and extended to this age group.

Prevalence of malaria and long-COVID among individuals previously infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Ethiopia and Uganda: A case control study
There is a significant burden of long-COVID in Ethiopia and Uganda. However, no increased prevalence of malaria infection post SARS-CoV-2 infection was observed.

Resources: Poster :
Direct evidence that seasonal factors impact the use of insecticide-treated nets in Nigeria
Seasonal changes in rainfall and temperature are important determinants of insecticide-treated net use among people with access. These factors should be considered when designing promotional…

Happy feet: Understanding the prevalence of podoconiosis and associated risk factors in Sodo Zuria and Offa districts, southern Ethiopia
Podoconiosis disproportionately affects women and low-income groups in Ethiopia. Improving access to footwear and promoting treatment-seeking behaviour is needed to prevent the disease.

Analysing age-related trends in routine data through transmission modelling during seasonal malaria chemoprevention in Burkina Faso
Age-related variations in routine data can be attributed to non-malarial fevers and treatment-seeking behaviours, which mask the impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention.
