Malaria is caused by a multi-staged parasite which is transmitted by the bite of infected female anopheles mosquitoes. It affects millions of people and kills more than 500,000 people throughout the world every year. It is one of the leading preventable causes of illness and death amongst children and pregnant women in Africa and parts of Asia. The...
Malaria has a range of severities. Some people in areas of intense transmission develop immunity and can carry the parasite without symptoms. In uncomplicated cases the main symptoms are fever, chills and muscle ache but these symptoms are often indistinguishable from other causes of fever. Cases which are not promptly identified and effectively tr...
Firstly, diagnosis of malaria was inaccurate whether it was based on signs and symptoms alone, or the microscopic examination of patients’ blood. Many of the cases identified in the clinic did not, in fact, have malaria (there were around 20-30% false positives by microscopy and over 90% by signs and symptoms) and many with malaria were missed (aro...
Misdiagnosis results in the wrong treatment being given for a disease that the patient doesn’t have. This means that the disease that they do have does not get treated appropriately. The newer Artemisinin Combination Therapy (ACT) drugs that are now recommended for treating malaria are more costly than the older drugs, so this also introduces signi...
By improving the coverage and quality of malaria diagnosis and changing practice amongst clinicians. Our research group, the ACT Consortium, is investigating ways in which practice can be changed in order to improve delivery of quality malaria drugs. This includes using enhanced training programmes, improved quality assurance and other supporting i...
This issue has attracted a lot of attention recently. It is now realised to be a big clinical problem and an important source of inefficiency in providing the more expensive ACTs to a larger number of people. Malaria microscopy needs improved quality assurance and it is hoped that malaria rapid diagnostic tests will increase access to accurate diag...
There certainly needs to be a big increase in the use of parasite based malaria tests and improvements in the way these are delivered. This includes the newer generation of malaria rapid diagnostic tests. The effort required is akin to the recent and very dramatic rise in the coverage and use of insecticide treated nets in Africa for prevention of ...
We are currently conducting studies on the use of rapid diagnostic tests in clinics and by community health workers in village health posts. The results will be available later this year. This is intended as multi-disciplinary operational research that examines clinical, economic and behavioural aspects of diagnosis and treatment of fever. It is im...
I was always interested in infectious diseases through school and as an undergraduate in physiology at UCL. I did my post-graduate studies at LSHTM. Travelling in low-income countries, where the disparities between industrialised and developing countries are so obvious, was an important influence. The range of sciences in infectious disease control...

Surveillance of ‘superbugs’ – microbes that have become resistant to common treatments – is needed to shed light on this growing global health threat. Dr Toby Leslie explains how the Fleming Fund programme is enabling that and improving health outcomes for the world’s poorest people.
