IN the years 1925, 1926, 1927 there were in Kenya at least 10, 10, and 5 deaths, and in Uganda at least 19, 48, and 22 deaths from blackwater fever in the respective years. This is a deplorable waste of life, for it may be regarded as axiomatic that malaria and blackwater fever ...
CQ (100 mg daily) plus PRO (200 mg daily) prophylaxis was prescribed for all patients travelling to Senegal and for those travelling to Kenya where MQ was contraindicated in cases with a history of neuropsychiatric events (group 1). MQ (250 mg weekly) was prescribed for all...

Malaria and Geohelminthiasis Coinfections in Expectant Women: Effect on Maternal Health and Birth Outcomes in a Malaria Endemic Region in Kenya Sanaria Inc, a company that develops and commercialises whole-parasite malaria vaccines, announced on Monday that a clinical trial of Sanaria PfSPZ (Plasmod...
The results indicate that 90.2% took a regular chemoprophylaxis against malaria. Nevertheless, 8.1% of the travellers used no antimalarials and in 9.3% chemoprophylaxis was inadequate due to inappropriate advice; for example, 7.5% still took pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine as prophylactic. Mefloquine was ...

48, 75 Chemoprophylaxis is begun 2 weeks before departure (except for doxycycline), taken regularly during malarial exposure, and continued for 4 weeks after departure to allow incubating liver forms to be released into the bloodstream where the suppressive drugs can act. 16, 21, 101 Chloroquine...
Zooprophylaxis is the use of wild or domestic animals, which are not the reservoir host of a given disease, to divert the blood-seeking malaria vectors from human hosts. In this paper, we systematically reviewed zooprophylaxis to assess its efficacy as a
the overuse of antimalarial drugs for prophylaxis, and parasite adaptability at genetic and metabolic levels have led to the parasite being resistant to antimalarial therapy [2,6,7]. Parasite resistance over the years has forced the scientific community into developing new treatment agents for malaria...
