The reports bring together the latest findings and conclusions about the state of resistance to artemisinins and artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), summarize WHO’s current policy and treatment recommendations, and highlight areas of concern.
Efficacious antimalarial medicines are critical to malaria control and elimination. Continuous monitoring of their efficacy is needed to inform treatment policies in malaria-endemic countries, and to ensure early detection of, and response to, drug resistance.
Malaria in pregnancy is a significant health problem in malaria-endemic areas. It not only causes substantial childhood morbidity and mortality but also increases the risks of adverse events for pregnant women and their developing fetuses. Most of the burden in these areas is due to infection with P...
Pour combattre et éliminer le paludisme, il est essentiel de disposer de médicaments antipaludiques efficaces. Un suivi régulier de l’efficacité des médicaments s’impose pour orienter les politiques de traitement dans les pays d’endémie palustre et assurer la détection précoce de la ph...
Para controlar y eliminar el paludismo (o malaria) es fundamental contar con fármacos antipalúdicos eficaces. Para fundamentar las políticas de tratamiento en los países donde esta enfermedad es endémica, y para garantizar la pronta detección de toda farmacorresistencia y una adecuada respuest...

Background: Since 2004, artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) has been the first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in Benin. In 2016, a medicine outlet survey was implemented to investigate the availability, price, and market share of...
Effective malaria case management requires quick access to diagnostics and antimalarial treatments to reduce illness and death. Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) has been essential to malaria treatment since 2001, as it combines artemisinin for rapid parasite reduction with a partner drug ...
All malaria-endemic countries in the Region of the Americas have taken on the challenge of eliminating malaria and have focused their health programs and strategies on that goal. The risk of emergence of artemisinin resistance in the Americas, the characteristics of P. falciparum parasite, and the e...
The Strategy to respond to antimalarial drug resistance in Africa is a technical and advocacy document, grounded in the best available evidence to date and aimed at minimizing the threat and impact of antimalarial drug resistance of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in Africa. Its objectives are to: i...
In the context of the Support to National Malaria Control Programme (SuNMaP), demand creation is the strategic combination of advocacy, communication and mobilisation approaches that seek to achieve increased community awareness of, and demand for, effective malaria prevention and treatment services...
These guidelines are based on the 3rd Edition of the WHO Guidelines (Published 2015) World Health Organization’s Guidelines for the treatment of malaria. Additional literature surveys have been undertaken. Factors that were considered in the choice of therapeutic options included effectiveness, sa...
Malaria is a prevalent cause of febrile illnesses in areas with high transmission, and its clinical presentation overlaps with initial signs of Ebola disease. For this reason, the effectiveness of the Ebola response in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone can be optimized through the deployment of targe...
The World Health Organization's malaria fact sheet provides an overview of malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It highlights that malaria is preventable and curable, yet remains a significant glo...
The article "Malaria – MSD Manual Professional Edition" provides a comprehensive overview of malaria, an infection caused by Plasmodium species. It describes symptoms such as fever, chills, and anemia, explains diagnostic methods like parasite detection in blood smears, and discusses treatment opt...
Esta nota técnica busca guiar a los programas nacionales de malaria y a las organizaciones implicadas en el apoyo de los esfuerzos para la eliminación de la malaria en la Región de las Américas, a fin de que intensifiquen las acciones políticas/estratégicas e implementen los cambios operativos...
The MSF malaria guidelines provide practical, evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing, treating, and preventing malaria, especially in low-resource settings. They cover uncomplicated and severe cases, recommend rapid tests and artemisinin-based therapies, and include special guidance for vulne...
La Stratégie de riposte face à la résistance aux antipaludiques en Afrique est un document technique de sensibilisation qui se fonde sur les bases factuelles les plus solides dont on dispose et vise à réduire au maximum la menace et l’impact de la résistance aux antipaludiques de Plasmodium ...
Update, 2023. En 2021, les résultats préliminaires des études d’observation du projet CARAMAL (Community Access to Rectal Artesunate for Malaria) n’ont pas confirmé l’impact sur la mortalité observé dans l’essai contrôlé de 2009. Par conséquent, en janvier 2022, l’OMS a publié un...
