- TWO ON MALARIA IN AFRICA
Dear All,
Two original contributions:
- A review of IPTp and LLIN protection of pregnancies in Africa finds that (with a few exceptions like Liberia and Zambia) “Although coverage of intermittent preventive treatment and use of insecticide-treated nets by pregnant women has increased in most countries, coverage remains far below international targets, despite fairly high rates of attendance at antenatal clinics.” Is it possible that ANC clinics function today as they did 20 and 30 years ago, with no promotion of LLINs and IPTp?

- Reviewing temperature and rainfall in West Africa, an MIT team finds that “Even under the GCM predictions most conducive to malaria transmission, we do not expect to see a significant increase in malaria prevalence in this region.”

Good reading.
