Australian Centre of Research Excellence in Malaria Elimination

This year's @who.int World Malaria Report highlights the growing threat of antimalarial drug resistance. We are tackling this by tracking and targeting resistance, blocking transmission, and ensuring safe, effective treatments to drive malaria elimination.👉 lnkd.in/emPdsv8j

Although the recent introduction of 2 malaria vaccines offers promise, the efficacy and duration of protection are suboptimal, particularly in populations with the highest malaria burdens. Additional strategies are urgently needed to enhance the efficacy 🔗https://shorturl.at/GoGrK

Dr Win Htike, who will be presenting his work “Geospatial joint modelling of vector and parasite serology to microstratify malaria transmission” at the Joint International Tropical Medicine Meeting 2025 on Thursday, 4 December. 🔗https://www.jitmm.com/Home/displayContent?cpID=18 🎉

Our "webinars" page is currently offline as we prepare for an exciting relaunch in early 2026. With more than six years of insightful sessions and expert presentations, there is a wealth of valuable content we’re looking forward to making accessible again soon🌐 acreme.edu.au

NMCPs have requested these data to inform decisions regarding national antimalarial policies. This manuscript aims to describe the automated process of generating these reports and highlight their role for policy makers. 🔗 malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
👏 A collective achievement

Each endemic country implementing the malaria elimination programme should reevaluate, refine, improve & strengthen the ongoing strategy which is fit-for-purpose of the national health system capacity considering the global and regional evidence. 🔗https://bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/3/2/e001180

This study aimed to assess how this 1-3-7 malaria RASR strategy was implemented to understand how it may be optimised to achieve national malaria elimination goals.

Join Dr Aung Pyae Phyo from MORU on Thurs 20 Nov 2pm AEDT for 'Tafenoquine for vivax malaria elimination' 🔗https://shorturl.at/u8bQ8

This presentation shares early insights from a tafenoquine mass drug administration (MDA) pilot in a high-burden P. vivax setting on the Myanmar–Thailand border.

The ACREME Master-MAP team hosted their first in-person Annual Meeting on 13–14 October at Deakin Downtown, Melbourne, bringing together over 70 participants from across Australia.

Shorter, more effective treatment options for P. vivax malaria, including 7-day-high-dose primaquine and single-dose tafenoquine, are available and now included in global recommendations.

In malaria, severe disease risk increases with age in non-immune individuals. Malaria severity is in part driven by inflammation, but mechanisms contributing to age-dependent disease risk are incompletely understood.
