Falciparum malaria in a child from Ghana with neutrophils showing phagocytosis of trophozoites, merozoites and possibly schizont. (PubMed, Parasitol Int) - "Both children were treated successfully with piperaquine tetraphosphate/artenimol (Eurartesim®)...While the findings highlight the role of phagocytosis in parasite clearance, the absence of similar observations in the second twin raises questions about individual immune responses and genetic factors. Further research is needed to explore the underlying biological mechanisms."

A high-throughput LC-MS/MS assay for piperaquine from dried blood spots: Improving malaria treatment in resource-limited settings. (PubMed, J Mass Spectrom Adv Clin Lab) - "A sensitive LC-MS/MS method, in combination with fully automated extraction in a 96-well plate format, was developed and validated for the quantification of piperaquine in DBS. The assay was implemented in a bioanalytical laboratory for processing large-scale clinical trial samples."

Longitudinal study based on a safety registry for malaria patients treated with artenimol-piperaquine in six European countries. (PubMed, Malar J) - "APQ appears as an effective and well-tolerated drug for treatment of malaria in patients recruited in European countries. AEs and QT prolongation were in the range of those obtained in larger cohorts from endemic countries. Trial registration This study has been registered in EU Post-Authorization Studies Register as EUPAS6942."

From informed consent to adherence: factors influencing involvement in mass drug administration with ivermectin for malaria elimination in The Gambia. (PubMed, Malar J) - "This study went beyond the individual factors often associated with coverage and adherence, and found that nuanced social dynamics greatly influence the decision-making process at all phases of the trial. These issues need to be consider for MDA implementation strategies and inform discussions about more accurate ways of reporting on critical effectiveness indicators."
