Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Once malaria infections are detected by 18S qPCR positive (day of treatment 1 \[DT1\]), groups 1 and 2 will be treated with a course of subcurative sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) (SP low, 500mg/25mg). Groups 3 and 4 will receive piperaquine (Pip) in a low-dose (Pip low, 480 mg). After DT1, volunteers will receive a curative treatment (DT2) when a recrudescence of asexual parasitaemia occurs or on day 21 post challenge infection, whichever comes first. Volunteers in group 1 (SP low/SP high) will be treated with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (1000mg/50mg) and group 2 (SP low/Pip high) with piperaquine (960mg). Volunteers in group 3 (Pip low/Pip high) will be treated with piperaquine (960mg) and group 4 (Pip low/SP high) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (1000mg/50mg). To ensure the radical clearance of all parasite stages, all volunteers will receive a final treatment (ET) according to national guidelines with atovaquone/proguanil (Malarone®) on day 42. Daily blood samples will allow detailed quantification of gametocytes, gametocyte sex ratio and ex vivo assessments of gametocyte fitness.
