🎬 MMV is releasing a new video on antimalarial drug resistance this Thursday, to coincide with World AMR Awareness Week (#WAAW). 📢 Help us spread the word! WAAW is of critical importance to the global malaria community – achieving zero #malaria deaths and building a malaria-free future depends on our collective response to antimalarial drug resistance.

Understanding the malaria cycle is crucial in fighting this disease. The female Anopheles mosquito transmits the Plasmodium parasite when it bites a human. With our antimalarial drugs, we break this cycle in Sub-Saharan Africa. 💊 #MalariaCycle #BreakTheCycle #WorldMalariaDay #PharmaAgainstMalaria #DafraPharma

The critical need for alternative therapies for severe malaria case management is now a priority given emerging and reported resistance to artemisinin. In this article we highlight preferred target product profiles for the ideal compounds for this indication.
Severe #malaria can kill within 24 hours of symptom onset. Though treatment with injectable artesunate continues to save lives, partial #resistance is widespread in South-East Asia, and has emerged in South America, Oceana and Africa. To mitigate this growing threat, MMV and partners have worked to define the next generation of medicines. Read the manuscript focused on the target product profile for new severe malaria treatments: bit.ly/TPP_MMV

📽️ A new way of treating relapsing P. vivax #malaria is becoming available. Brazil is the first country to adopt single-dose #tafenoquine, facilitated by G6PD testing. We are pleased to be playing a part through a volume guarantee for SD BIOSENSOR INC and partnership with PATH to ensure continued availability of affordable G6PD testing devices in countries with high P. vivax malaria burden, facilitating treatment. "Now everyone knows that in order to take tafenoquine, a G6PD test is needed first." Learn more from this short film about the Tafenoquine Rollout STudy (TRuST) in Brazil, by Medicines for Malaria Venture. https://lnkd.in/ejqAqhjd

A short and straight to the point commentary on the importance of #diagnostics to inform therapeutic treatments when #antimicrobials are needed. Of note, access to diagnostics is also relevant for #animals as veterinarians and farmers should be provided with the necessary tools to prescribe and use antimicrobials when needed. #AMR #OneHealth #laboratory
This is a critique from my colleague Eskild Petersen of my Nature Magazine viewpoint on access to antibiotics, which I welcome. These debates are important. In my view, access and stewardship are not at odds with each other although they are often portrayed that way. We can only discourage private sector sales and overuse of antibiotics, if we provide a diagnostics-informed, access to quality antibiotics that are not fake, counterfeit or substandard. Shaking a stick at LMICs to stop non-prescription sales of antibiotics is not different than the HIV plan prior to PEPFAR and the Global Fund which was to encourage safe sex but not provide any access to diagnostics or treatment. Put yourself in the position of someone with a sick child and with no money. If you could go to a good doctor, get a prescription and a diagnostic, and get a proper antibiotic if its needed, that's what you would like to do. If you can't afford that, then you go to the pharmacist and buy what you can. We can only drive out bad practice with good practice. #amr One Health Trust That's just my viewpoint but would like to hear what you all have to say.

"Uniting Against TB: World Tuberculosis Day Shines Spotlight on Global Efforts to End the Epidemic" There are several drugs used to treat tuberculosis (TB).The most common medications include: ▪️Isoniazid (INH)▪️Rifampin (RIF)▪️Ethambutol(EMB)▪️Pyrazinamide (PZA) These drugs are often used together in a combination called Directly Observed Therapy Short-course (DOTS). This treatment regimen typically lasts six to nine months and is highly effective in curing TB when taken consistently.
