PUBLICATION: Optimizing MDA and antimalarial treatment in the presence of drug resistance for effective malaria control, by Manuela Nimpa & al.
Drug resistance threatens global malaria eradication efforts, necessitating innovative control strategies. This study examines how Mass Drug Administration (MDA) combined with antimalarial treatment can minimize resistance and improve malaria control. We developed a compartmental mathematical model to evaluate how resistance mutations affect transmission dynamics. The model tracks both treated and untreated populations among infected and…
