Malaria: Studies of Inborn or Acquired Determinants of the Individual Response to Malaria Infection in Endemic Areas

Identify malaria cases in the Fatick region from an open cohort set up in 1990 for Dielmo and in 1993 for Ndiop. The objectives are as follows: 1- Identify a threshold (level) of parasite carriage which determines the occurrence of malaria and which varies according to the level of transmission of the disease (endemic or seasonal); 2- Evaluate the impact of the introduction of new drugs and impregnated mosquito nets on disease transmission; 3-Monitor the sensitivity of parasites to drugs and mosquitoes to insecticides.

Malnutrition: MALINEA "Malnutrition and childhood infections of Africa"

This pragmatic, randomized, open, multicenter trial is taking place in 4 countries: Madagascar, Central African Republic, Niger and Senegal. In total, 840 children suffering from moderate acute malnutrition receive three re-nutrition strategies by drawing lots: conventional flour, flour + antibiotic; flour + prebiotics. The expected duration of participation is 6 months, i.e.
