There is a lack of evidence on impact and cost of new insecticides used for indoor residual spraying (IRS) to protect against malaria. This study analyzed data collected in Southern Province, Zambia to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness of next-generation IRS, such as Actellic, on malaria incidence and prevalence in Zambia.

This study assessed the technical and programmatic feasibility of a microarray patch for sustained, intradermal delivery of primaquine to treat P. vivax malaria. The team conducted an analysis to assess the potential for using microarray patches for delivery of primaquine and to inform the development of target product profile characteristics.

The goal of the Sanitation Service Delivery (SSD) project is to improve urban sanitation outcomes through developing scalable, market-based models that contribute to structural change within the region’s sanitation sector with an initial focus on cities in Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Ghana. The Sanitation Technology Filtering Tools help users identify appropriate sanitation technologies for their specific use case; the tools and workshop materials can be found below.

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.

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.
