Theory predicts that we can protect the efficacy of
future antimalarials by changing treatment practice or
drug formulation, but the potential success of such
interventions rests upon their impact on drug pressure
in ...

Background: Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) resistance is now widespread throughout east and southern Africa and artemisinin compounds in combination with synthetic drugs (ACT) are recommended as replacement treatments by ...
Kidima, W; Nkwengulila, G.; Premji, Z.; Malisa, A.; Mshinda, H(Tanzania Health Research Bulletin, 2006-05)
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), the current first line antimalarial drug in Tanzania, is compromised by
evolution and spread of mutations in the parasite's dhfr and dhps genes. In the present study we established the ...
Pearce, Richard J; Malisa, Allen L; Kachur, Patrick; Barnes, Karen; Brian, Sharp; Roper, Cally(Oxford University Press, 2005-05-25)
We have measured microsatellite diversity at 26 markers around the dhfr gene in pyrimethamine-sensitive and -resistant
parasites collected in southeast Africa. Through direct comparison with diversity on sensitive chromosomes ...

Prior to the 2001 malarial treatment policy change in Tanzania, we conducted trials to assess the efficacy
of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and the usefulness of molecular markers in monitoring resistance. A total of ...
Malisa, Allen L.; Pearce, R.; Abdullah, S.; Mutayoba, B.; Mshinda, H.; Kachur, P.; Bloland, P.; Roper, C.(African Health Sciences, 2011)
Background: Resistance to the antimalarial drug sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) emerged in Plasmodium falciparum from
Asia in the 1960s and subsequently spread to Africa. In Tanzania, SP use as a national policy began in ...
Shayo, John Mariana(Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2015)
Mosquito-borne viruses are an important cause of human and domestic diseases worldwide. As crucially important emerging pathogens, they have caused multiple, notable and unnoticed epidemics of human disease over recent ...

Background: It is argued that, the efficacy of anti-malarials could be prolonged through policy-mediated reductions in drug pressure, but gathering evidence of the relationship between policy, treatment practice, drug ...
Mbanzulu, Kennedy, M(Sokoine university of agriculture, 2015)
Mosquito species distribution patterns and their ecology is gaining importance, because
global climate changes are thought to lead to the emergence of mosquito-borne diseases;
which are of considerable medical and ...

Background: Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) has been and is currently used for treatment of
uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in many African countries. Nevertheless, the
response of parasites to SP treatment ...
