Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC), which combines amodiaquine (AQ) with
sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), is an effective and promising strategy,
recommended by WHO, for controlling malaria morbidity and mortality in areas of
intense seasonal transmission. Despite the effectiveness of this strategy, a
number of controversies regardi(...)
