Last call to all malaria researchers in Africa 📢-- if you have data on children with severe malaria with creatinine measured and clinical outcomes assessed, consider participating in our meta-analysis to evaluate AKI definitions. Authorship is offered for all contributing data.
Really happy to announce that our @NIH-funded #India ICEMR has been awarded 🙌🏻 We look forward to continuing our work in India with @ICMR_RMRCBBSR, CWSH, GLA and @JHMRImalaria over the next 5 years. Congratulations to the whole team across 3 continents! 🇮🇳 🇺🇲 🇬🇧
LSHTM researchers awarded £2.8m to study malaria transmission in area of India 🇮🇳(Odisha) where infections are evading detection.🦟🌏
The team will investigate how new interventions & diagnostic tools could aid malaria elimination efforts.

Co-infections with malaria affect up to half of children in endemic countries and around one in seven travellers with malaria.
How should doctors assess and manage co-infection in children? #MedEd
