DOI: 10.1053/j.semperi.2019.03.019
Abstract: This review focuses on pre- and post-natal iron supplementation in malaria endemic settings. Although iron supplementation can reduce iron deficiency, malaria infection may counteract this effect by the increase of hepcidin, and iron supplementation may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-017-1864-2
Abstract: BackgroundGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a rate limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway and is closely associated with the haemolytic disorders among patients receiving anti-malarial drugs, such as primaquine. G6PD deficiency (G6PDd) is an impending… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-017-1945-2
Abstract: BackgroundMeasurements of anti-malarial antibodies are increasingly used as a proxy of transmission intensity. Most serological surveys are based on the use of cross-sectional data that, when age-stratified, approximates historical patterns of transmission within a population.… read more here.
