Absence of kelch13 artemisinin resistance markers but strong selection for lumefantrine‑tolerance molecular markers following 18 years of artemisinin‑based combination therapy use in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa (2001–2018)

Raman, Jaishree; Kagoro, Frank M.; Mabuza, Aaron; Malatje, Gillian; Reid, Anthony; Barnes, Karen I. (BioMed Central, 2019-08-22)

BACKGROUND : The ability of Plasmodium falciparum parasites to develop resistance to widely used anti-malarials threatens malaria control and elimination efforts. Regular drug efficacy monitoring is essential for ensuring ...
Case management of malaria : treatment and chemoprophylaxis

Ukpe, I.S. (Indongesit Sunday); Moonasar, Devanand; Raman, Jaishree; Barnes, K.I.; Baker, Lee; Blumberg, Lucille Hellen (Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2013-10)

Malaria case management is a vital component of programmatic strategies for malaria control and elimination. Malaria case management encompasses prompt and effective treatment to minimise morbidity and mortality, reduce ...
Eliminating malaria from the margins of transmission in Southern Africa through the Elimination 8 Initiative

Raman, Jaishree; Fakudze, Phelele; Sikaala, Chadwick H.; Chimumbwa, John; Moonasar, Devanand (Taylor and Francis, 2021)

Four southern Africa countries, namely, Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia and South Africa, were identified by the World Health Organization as having the potential to eliminate malaria in the near future. However, the extreme ...

Raman, Jaishree; Gast, Laura; Balawanth, Ryleen; Tessema, Sofonias; Brooke, Basil; Maharaj, Rajendra; Munhenga, Givemore; Tshikae, Power; Lakan, Vishan; Mwamba, Tshiama; Makowa, Hazel; Sangweni, Lindi; Mkhabela, Moses; Zondo, Nompumelelo; Mohulatsi, Ernest; Nyawo, Zuziwe; Ngxongo, Sifiso; Msimang, Sipho; Dagata, Nicole; Greenhouse, Bryan; Birkholtz, Lyn-Marie; Shirreff, George; Graffy, Rebecca; Qwabe, Bheki; Moonasar, Devanand (BioMed Central, 2020-04-15)

BACKGROUND : KwaZulu-Natal, one of South Africa’s three malaria endemic provinces, is nearing malaria elimination, reporting fewer than 100 locally-acquired cases annually since 2010. Despite sustained implementation of ...
Maintaining focus on administering effective malaria treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic

Raman, Jaishree; Barnes, K.I.; Baker, L.; Blaylock, M.; Blumberg, Lucille Hellen; Frean, J.; Misiani, E.; Ukpe, I.S. (Indongesit Sunday) (Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2021-01)

As September marks the start of the malaria season in South Africa (SA), it is essential that healthcare professionals consider both COVID19 and malaria when a patient who lives in or has recently travelled to a malaria ...
Making data map-worthy—enhancing routine malaria data to support surveillance and mapping of Plasmodium falciparum anti-malarial resistance in a pre-elimination sub-Saharan African setting : a molecular and spatiotemporal epidemiology study

Kagoro, Frank M.; Allen, Elizabeth; Mabuza, Aaron; Workman, Lesley; Magagula, Ray; Kok, Gerdalize; Davies, Craig; Malatje, Gillian; Guerin, Philippe J.; Dhorda, Mehul; Maude, Richard J.; Raman, Jaishree; Barnes, Karen I. (Springer, 2022-06)

BACKGROUND : Independent emergence and spread of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria have recently been confirmed in Africa, with molecular markers associated with artemisinin resistance increasingly detected. ...
Reviewing South Africa’s malaria elimination strategy (2012–2018) : progress, challenges and priorities
