Health research in South-Ethiopa

Malaria remains a major public health problem worldwide.

Hovedinnhold

Our research started with The Ethiopian Malaria Prediction System research group, which aimed to improve our understanding of the links between climate and malaria.

It was followed by a large community trial to improve malaria control in Ethiopia. This project is called Maltrials: Combining Indoor Residual Spraying and long-lasting insecticidal Nets for Preventing Malaria: Cluster Randomised Trial in Ethiopia, completed in 2018.

During the last few years, researchers at CIH, in collaboration with scientists in Ethiopia through the Senuph programme, have built research to strengthen malaria research.

Currently, two groups are working on malaria.

Preventing malaria

Assessing the impact of housing improvement and ivermectin administration to cattle on malaria transmission in southwest Ethiopia: a community-based cluster randomised control trial

Reducing malaria in Sidama

Reducing the burden of malaria through improving malaria surveillance and health care services in Sidama Regional State, southern Ethiopia: a community and institution based cross-sectional study.

Bernt Lindtjørn from CIH coordinates this work.

Combining indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets for preventing malaria

This research aims to improve malaria control by evaluating the combined effect of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) on malaria incidence in Ethiopia.

Malaria Chemoprevention for the post-discharge management of severe anaemia in children in Malawi, Uganda and Kenya

The main objectives of this project are to evaluate whether it is safe and efficacious to routinely prevent malaria by giving antimalarial drugs during the first three months after discharge from hospital.
