Pregnant Women for Malaria Surveillance

NCT04412005 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 16958

Summary

Close monitoring of malaria in pregnancy can help to quickly identify changes in malaria burden and related adverse outcomes, especially in areas embarking in malaria elimination activities. The easy access of pregnant women through antenatal clinics, combined with the potential of pregnancy-specific serology to assess cumulative exposure to malaria, can provide the basis for new sentinel surveillance methods. Such an approach has the potential to guide clinical practice and the choice of malaria control/preventive tools adapted to areas of different transmission intensity, as well as to generate sensitive metrics of transmission during malaria elimination activities.
