Summary

The study has two components: component A is a cohort study to determine the in vivo efficacy of SP to clear and prevent malaria parasitaemia in asymptomatic pregnant women and component B is a cross sectional study of women delivering at the study hospitals to assess the effectiveness of SP-IPTp to reduce adverse maternal and birth outcomes in the current context of increasing SP resistance. Results of component A and B studies will be used to model the relationship between the prevalence of molecular markers of SP resistance, in vivo efficacy to clear parasite and the effectiveness of SP-IPTp and to develop guidelines for routine monitoring effectiveness of SP-IPTp as part of ANC surveillance.
