Abstract

New diagnostics and treatment options for the radical cure of Plasmodium vivax malaria are now available. At the 2019 annual meeting of the Vivax Working Group of the Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network, participants took part in a roundtable discussion to identify further evidence required to introduce these new tools into policy and practice. Key gaps identified were accuracy and reliability of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency tests, health system capacity, and feasibility and cost effectiveness of novel treatment strategies in routine clinical practice. As expected, there were differences in the priorities between country partners and researcher partners. To achieve the 2030 target for the regional elimination of malaria, evidence to address these issues should be generated as a matter of priority. Review of global guidelines alongside locally generated data will help to ensure the timely revision and optimisation of national treatment guidelines that will be vital to meet regional elimination goals.

需要进一步的证据来改变政策，以安全有效地彻底治愈间日疟:来自2019年APMEN间日疟工作组年度会议的见解

现在有了根治间日疟原虫疟疾的新诊断和治疗方案。在亚太消除疟疾网络间日疟工作组2019年年会上，与会者参加了圆桌讨论，以确定将这些新工具引入政策和实践所需的进一步证据。确定的主要差距是葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶缺乏症测试的准确性和可靠性，卫生系统的能力，以及常规临床实践中新治疗策略的可行性和成本效益。正如预期的那样，国家伙伴和研究人员伙伴之间的优先事项存在差异。为实现2030年区域消除疟疾的具体目标，应将解决这些问题的证据作为优先事项。审查全球指南以及当地产生的数据将有助于确保及时修订和优化国家治疗指南，这对实现区域消除目标至关重要。

期刊介绍： Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies is the flagship journal of the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University. It is a peer-reviewed journal that targets research in policy studies in Australia, Asia and the Pacific, across a discipline focus that includes economics, political science, governance, development and the environment. Specific themes of recent interest include health and education, aid, migration, inequality, poverty reduction, energy, climate and the environment, food policy, public administration, the role of the private sector in public policy, trade, foreign policy, natural resource management and development policy. Papers on a range of topics that speak to various disciplines, the region and policy makers are encouraged. The goal of the journal is to break down barriers across disciplines, and generate policy impact. Submissions will be reviewed on the basis of content, policy relevance and readability.
