Efforts to reduce transmission and eliminate malaria require an understanding of biology and transmission. A model to induce gametocytes to understand their dynamics and evaluate transmission-blocking interventions is currently unavailable. Here, we explore the use of the Controlled Human Malaria Infection model to induce gametocyte carriage with antimalarial drug regimens.

PATH has worked to improve immunization rates in Vietnam by developing a digital immunization registry. ImmReg saves time, reduces errors, and improves on-time immunization rates by digitizing records and sending vaccination reminders to clients’ mobile phones. From 2016, ImmReg was integrated into the government-led National Immunization Information System in Vietnam.
