This trial tests giving school-age children a short course of medicine to prevent malaria and see if it can reduce the spread of the disease in the community. It involves taking pills at set times during the school year.
This study looks at how malaria spreads in Mozambique by testing children and pregnant women with fever. If you or your child may have malaria, participating could help researchers understand and fight the disease better.
This trial uses a genetically modified malaria parasite given by mosquito bite to safely test a new vaccine approach in healthy volunteers. If you qualify, you'll help researchers understand how the body defends against malaria.
This study looks at whether adding a special device (the Guardian Spatial Emanator) to the AZVINIR II azithromycin program helps prevent malaria. It involves checking households and health centers in high-malaria areas in Africa.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving malaria medicine to people in high-risk households (a “mass drug administration” campaign) can stop local relapses and eliminate vivax malaria. If you live close to a recent malaria case, you may be offered a preventive dose, based on age and medical safety checks.
