Could treating school kids stop malaria for everyone?

NCT ID NCT07246525

Summary

This study is testing if giving a malaria prevention medicine to school children every two months can reduce malaria cases for everyone in the surrounding community. It will involve about 4,800 children in areas with high malaria rates. The idea is that by protecting children, who often carry the malaria parasite without severe symptoms, the overall spread of the disease to people of all ages can be reduced.
