Mathematical model for optimal use of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine as a temporary malaria vaccine. (English) Zbl 1191.92025

Summary: We introduce a deterministic malaria model for determining the drug administration protocol that leads to the smallest first malaria episodes during the wet season. To explore the effects of administering the malaria drug on different days during the wet season while minimizing the potential harmful effects of drug overdose, we define 40 drug administration protocols. Our results fit well with the clinical studies of Coulibaly et al. at a site in Mali. In addition, we provide protocols that lead to smaller number of first malaria episodes during the wet season than the protocol of D. Coulibaly et al. [Am. J. Trop. Med. Hyg. 67, No. 6, 604–610 (2002)].
