Primaquine is widely used to prevent relapses of P.vivax malaria, but the optimal dose in Latin America is unknown. Researchers undertook a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis to investigate the safety of different primaquine dosing regimens shorturl.at/Pc1mF #Malaria

In chronic Pv infection, the spleen accounts for over 98% of total-body parasite biomass. Whether splenic tropism also occurs in acute infection and how the spleen influences pathogenesis have not been systematically explored. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Quantifying antibodies against P. vivax enables the detection of both recent and past P. vivax exposure and may help identify individuals with clinically silent hypnozoite infections. Read the latest findings: verixiv.org/articles/3-2...

Malaria doesn’t stop at national borders.

Our work in #Cambodia, #LaoPDR & #Vietnam is supporting mobile/migrant populations in remote forested border regions by training volunteers, delivering mobile #malaria services & enabling real-time reporting.

Today is #WorldMosquitoDay 🦟 We speak with Dr Win Han Oo about the importance of ending mosquito-borne diseases across the Asia-Pacific. Elimination is possible but it requires collaboration. By working together we can build stronger, more sustainable approaches to ending mosquito-borne diseases.

Join us this Thurs 20 Aug 12pm-1pm AEST with Rachael Farquhar and Rhea Longley "Serology for P.vivax malaria". This presentation will intro PvSeroTAT, an emerging approach that uses serological markers to identify people at increased risk of relapse and guide targeted radical cure shorturl.at/N5InQ

To mark #WorldMosquitoDay (20 Aug), we spoke with A/Prof Angela Devine about why investing in mosquito-borne disease prevention is so important.

If we can prevent disease, reduce costs, and save lives, elimination is a win for everyone.

Without adequate preparation gaps in the health system can undermine the transition from malaria burden reduction to elimination policies, reduce the effectiveness of interventions, and jeopardise progress toward achieving zero local transmission of malaria shorturl.at/qVHCU
