Sampling for Malaria Molecular Surveillance

A review guiding the collection of samples and data, as a starting point for further methodological innovation, and to enhance utilization of MMS to support malaria elimination

Tools for monitoring antimalarial drug efficacy

WHO has developed a series of tools to facilitate the work of national malaria programmes and other partners involved in routine testing of antimalarial drug efficacy. Includes:
 – Template protocol for therapeutic efficacy studies
 – Methodology to distinguish reinfection from recrudescence
 – WHO data entry and analysis tool
 – Template checklists for quality control monitoring
 – Parasite clearance estimator
