Secondary Outcome(s)
Prevalence of malaria parasitaemia in school aged children [Time Frame: Blood sample collection during the 2-week cross sectional survey at the end of the malaria transmission season in Year 2 and 3 (November 2018/19).]
Hospital admissions with malaria, including severe malaria [Time Frame: Through study completion (30 months), each child admitted in a study hospital will be treated and monitored until complete cure or death (a period of 3 years). Documentation of each hospital admission according to ICH-GCP.]
Prevalence of malaria parasitaemia, including gametocytaemia and the prevalence of moderate and severe anemia and malnutrition [Time Frame: Blood sample collection during 2-week cross sectional survey at the end of each malaria transmission season.]
Serious adverse events (SAEs) [Time Frame: Through study completion (for 30 months), each SAE will be treated and documented according to ICH-GCP.]
Immune response to the vaccine (anti-CSP antibody concentrations) [Time Frame: Blood sample collection prior to 1st dose of vaccine and 1 month after 3rd dose of the primary series of vaccination. In years 2 and 3 blood will be collected before the booster dose and 1 month after administration of the 4th (and 5th) vaccine dose.]
SP+AQ drug sensitivity [Time Frame: Children with asymptomatic malaria parasitaemia identified during the final cross-sectional survey (November 2019), treated with a full course of SP+AQ over 3 days and followed for 28 days.]
Drug resistance to SP and AQ [Time Frame: Blood sample collection during the 2-week cross sectional survey conducted at the end of malaria transmission season in 2019.]
Prevalence of malaria infection not severe enough to warrant a clinic visit [Time Frame: Weekly home visits through study completion from July 2017 - April 2020 to screen study children for malaria.]
