individual, household and environmental risk factors for malaria infection in amhara, oromia and snnp regions of ethiopia.we assessed malaria infection in relation to age, altitude, rainfall, socio-economic factors and coverage of control measures in a representative sample of 11437 people in amhara, oromia and snnp regions of ethiopia in december 2006-january 2007. surveys were conducted in 224 randomly selected clusters of 25 households (overall sample of 27884 people in 5708 households). in 11538 blood slides examined from alternate households (83% of those eligible), malaria prevalence in people of all ages was ...200919144366
evaluation of light microscopy and rapid diagnostic test for the detection of malaria under operational field conditions: a household survey in ethiopia.in most resource-poor settings, malaria is usually diagnosed based on clinical signs and symptoms and not by detection of parasites in the blood using microscopy or rapid diagnostic tests (rdt). in population-based malaria surveys, accurate diagnosis is important: microscopy provides the gold standard, whilst rdts allow immediate findings and treatment. the concordance between rdts and microscopy in low or unstable transmission areas has not been evaluated.200818598344
integrating an ntd with one of "the big three": combined malaria and trachoma survey in amhara region of ethiopia.amhara regional state of ethiopia has a population of approximately 19.6 million, is prone to unstable and epidemic malaria, and is severely affected by trachoma. an integrated malaria and trachoma control program is being implemented by the regional health bureau. to provide baseline data, a survey was conducted during december 2006 to estimate malaria parasite prevalence, malaria indicators, prevalence of trachoma, and trachoma risk factors in households and people of all ages in each of the t ...200818350115
development of resistance by plasmodium falciparum to sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine in amhara region, northwestern ethiopia.following the high rate of chloroquine-resistant plasmodium falciparum, ethiopia changed the national drug policy in 1999 from chloroquine to sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (sp) as first line. however, the useful therapeutic lifespan of sp may be limited by the rapid emergence of resistance. we conducted a study between october and november 2001 to examine the current extent of sp resistance to p. falciparum in amhara region, northern ethiopia. a total of 93 patients with uncomplicated p. faliciparum ...200516370550
