Single dose primaquine at 0.75 mg/kg vs no primaquine, with non‐artemisinin partner,

Participants with gametocytes at day 8, by microscopy · adults and children with malaria being treated with non‐artemisinin treatment

Single dose primaquine at 0.75 mg/kg probably leads to lower participants with gametocytes at day 8, by microscopy compared with no primaquine, with non‐artemisinin partner, (moderate certainty).

Single dose primaquine at 0.2 to 0.25 mg/kg vs no primaquine, with artemisinin partner,

Participants with gametocytes at day 3‐4, by PCR · adults and children with malaria being treated with artemisinin combination treatment

Single dose primaquine at 0.2 to 0.25 mg/kg showed no clear difference in participants with gametocytes at day 3 to 4 by PCR compared with no primaquine, with artemisinin partner, (moderate certainty).

Single dose primaquine at 0.2 to 0.25 mg/kg vs no primaquine, with artemisinin partner,

Participants with gametocytes at day 8, by PCR · adults and children with malaria being treated with artemisinin combination treatment

Single dose primaquine at 0.2 to 0.25 mg/kg leads to lower participants with gametocytes at day 8 by PCR compared with no primaquine, with artemisinin partner, (high certainty).

Single dose primaquine at 0.4 to 0.5 mg/kg vs no primaquine, with artemisinin partner,

Participants infectious at day 8 · adults and children with malaria being treated with artemisinin combination treatment

Single dose primaquine at 0.4 to 0.5 mg/kg may leads to lower participants infectious at day 3‐4 compared with no primaquine, with artemisinin partner, (low certainty).

Primaquine (weekly for eight weeks) vs daily primaquine

P. vivax parasitaemia detected > 30 days after starting primaquine · Children and adults with blood smear positive P. vivax malaria1

It is very uncertain whether primaquine (weekly for eight weeks) changes P. vivax parasitaemia detected > 30 days after starting primaquine compared with daily primaquine (very low certainty).
