PUBLICATION: Optimizing MDA and antimalarial treatment in the presence of drug resistance for effective malaria control, by Manuela Nimpa & al.

News

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…

The primary goal is to interrupt the transmission of AMR and pathogens from wastewater used for irrigation to households

ICARS Grant: Preventing AMR Spread from Wastewater through Urban Agriculture in Cameroon

Projects

This research project addresses the critical public health challenge posed by the transmission and spread of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) via wastewater used for irrigation in urban agriculture. Cameroon is a relevant case study because urban agriculture is a source of employment and food supply, particularly in Yaoundé, and wastewater remains untreated. Given the shared challenges…
