The malaria research line began with “A Trial of Artemether or Quinine in Children with Cerebral Malaria” (NEJM 1996) and Prof. Feiko ter Kuile’s (FtK) series of papers on the “Efficacy of permethrin-treated bed nets in the prevention of mortality in young children” (AJTMH 2003). This was followed by multi-centre studies, coordinated by Prof. Kamija Phiri and supervised by Prof. Boele van Hensbroek and Prof. ter Kuile on the benefit of antimalarial treatment in preventing rebound severe anaemia in African children (Lancet ID 2011). Most recently this research line has been expanded by work by dr. Menno Smit (MS) assessing the safety and efficacy of population-level drug interventions in individuals at risk of malaria in western Kenya.
This Research Line started in 1996
