  • Acceptability and feasibility of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) testing using SD Biosensor by village malaria workers in Cambodia

    Open AccessSarah A Cassidy-Seyoum, Bipin Adhikari et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Introduction Plasmodium vivax is the predominant cause of malaria in the Greater Mekong Subregion. To ensure safe treatment with primaquine, point-of-care glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) testing was rolled out in Cambodia at the health facility level, although most malaria patients are diagnosed in the community. The current study aims to explore the acceptability and feasibility of implementing community-level G6PD testing in Cambodia. …

  • Implementation of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) testing for Plasmodium vivax case management, a mixed method study from Cambodia

    Open AccessSarah A Cassidy-Seyoum, Keoratha Chheng et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Plasmodium vivax remains a challenge for malaria elimination since it forms dormant liver stages (hypnozoites) that can reactivate after initial infection. 8-aminoquinolone drugs kill hypnozoites but can cause severe hemolysis in individuals with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. The STANDARD G6PD test (Biosensor) is a novel point-of-care diagnostic capable of identifying G6PD deficiency prior to treatment. In 2021, Cambodia im…

  • Rethinking village malaria workers in Cambodia

    Open AccessLong Heng Orng, Monnaphat Jongdeepaisal et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Since the early 2000s, malaria cases in Cambodia have declined steadily. Village malaria workers (VMWs) have played a critical role in reducing malaria transmission and progress towards malaria elimination. To prevent malaria re-establishment, however, implementation strategies need to consider carefully the changing healthcare needs in the communities as well as challenges to, and opportunities for, programme adaptation. We conducted in-depth in…

  • Comparing the roles of community health workers for malaria control and elimination in Cambodia and Tanzania

    Open AccessBipin Adhikari, Makhily Bayo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    The reduction of deaths from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is stalling, whereas many countries in Southeast Asia are approaching malaria elimination. We reviewed the role of community health worker (CHW) programmes in malaria control and elimination between regions, with a more detailed description of the programmes in Tanzania and Cambodia. Compared with Tanzania, Cambodia has a much more developed CHW network, which has been pivotal in th…

  • Further evidence needed to change policy for the safe and effective radical cure of vivax malaria

    Open AccessVarunika Ruwanpura, Spike Nowak et al.ARTICLEAsia & the Pacific Policy Studies2021Citada por: 2Referências: 1

    New diagnostics and treatment options for the radical cure of Plasmodium vivax malaria are now available. At the 2019 annual meeting of the Vivax Working Group of the Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network, participants took part in a roundtable discussion to identify further evidence required to introduce these new tools into policy and practice. Key gaps identified were accuracy and reliability of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency …

  • Malaria elimination using the 1-3-7 approach

    Open AccessSoy Ty Kheang, Siv Sovannaroth et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    The experience of the 1-3-7 approach in Sampov Loun indicates that the basic essential malaria elimination package can be feasibly implemented at the operational district level to achieve the goal of malaria elimination in Cambodia and has provided essential information that has led to the refinement of this package
