Result description
The MARC SE-Africa toolkit is a catalogue representing a comprehensive list of over 125 curated and collated resources and tools to combat antimalarial resistance.
The categories covered include Therapeutic Efficacy Studies (TES) and Individual Therapeutic Efficacy Studies (iTES), which are the WHO-recommended gold standard for assessing the effectiveness of current antimalarial treatments. The resources listed in this catalogue also address molecular marker surveillance, focusing on artemisinin resistance markers and partner drug resistance markers, which are crucial for the early detection of resistance and for tracking the spread and evolution of drug-resistant malaria strains. The toolkit extends its utility to more tools and resources vital for antimalarial research and intervention. It covers resources to address ex vivo susceptibility testing and an array of laboratory processes such as molecular techniques for PCR correction, diagnostic assessment, data management, drug susceptibility, culturing and synchronisation, and various aspects of sample handling, including preparation, preservation, processing, collection, and pharmacology analysis.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- To raise awareness and possibly influence policy
- Help in technical expertise
- Collaboration
Events and other activities on the theme of antimalarial drug resistance and/or the use of digital tools in addressing public health issues or sharing information with/among public health researchers and practitioners.
We are also looking for additional tools and resources on the topic of antimalarial drug resistance that we can include in the toolkit as part of ongoing updates.
- International Organisations (ex. OECD, FAO, UN, etc.)
- Research and Technology Organisations
- Academia/ Universities
