Ivermectin administered to the whole population significantly reduces malaria transmission, offering new hope in the fight against the disease.
The BOHEMIA trial, the largest study on ivermectin for malaria to date, showed a 26% reduction in new malaria infection on top of existing bed nets, providing strong evidence of ivermectin's potential as a complementary tool in malaria control.
Ivermectin, a drug traditionally used to treat neglected tropical diseases like onchocerciasis, which causes river blindness, and lymphatic filariasis, which causes elephantiasis, has been shown to reduce malaria transmission by killing the mosquitoes that feed on treated individuals.
Given the rising resistance to conventional insecticides, ivermectin could offer an effective new approach to tackling malaria transmission, especially in regions where traditional methods have become less effective.
The BOHEMIA project (Broad One Health Endectocide-based Malaria Intervention in Africa) conducted two Mass Drug Administration (MDA) trials in the high-burden malaria regions: Kwale County (Kenya) and Mopeia district (Mozambique).
The trials assessed the safety and efficacy of a single monthly dose of ivermectin (400 mcg/kg) given for three consecutive months at the start of the rainy season in reducing malaria transmission. In Kenya, the intervention targeted children aged 5–15, while in Mozambique it focused on children under five.
In Kwale County, Kenya, children who received ivermectin experienced a 26% reduction in malaria infection incidence compared to those who received albendazole, the control drug used in the study.
The trial involved over 20,000 participants and more than 56,000 treatments, demonstrating that ivermectin significantly reduced malaria infection rates—particularly among children living further from cluster borders or in areas where drug distribution was more efficient.
Moreover, the safety profile of ivermectin was favorable, with no severe drug-related adverse events and only mild, transient side effects already seen with ivermectin in campaigns against neglected tropical diseases.

Is this coming about because of Covid?
“I’m trying to convince him on the ivermectin. Did a Dr. prescribe that as prophylactic for you or did you have to figure it out yourself?”
We don’t need a prescription in TN, so I decided on my own to take it prophylactically after reading many different reports. Most of them were posted here on FR.
When I had Covid, IVM kicked it on its ass. About a year later is when I decided to take it 2X/week. I buy it compounded instead of fixed-dose pills, and the compounding guy suggested that dose.
Study finds ivermectin lowers malaria infection rates
/
They just now figured this out ?
The third world has been using it regularly to prevent and treat malaria for DECADES,
Smdh.
This is not how to restore trust in American academia and health care.
Just
Wow
Thanks
It really is a miracle drug - no wonder they tried to keep people away from it by claiming it was only for horses....
There is an oft repeated TV commercial for a drug that rids you body of parasites.
For a considerable period of the air time, the bottle is prominently displayed. The very obvious ingredient is Ivermectin. You can get your covid ivermectin fix by purchasing the anti parasite substance
You don’t need to buy horse medicine at Tractor Supply
bump to read later....
You still need an Rx, which they will provide for $90.
Also it is a low dose.
You can get an Rx through Push Health for $80 and get a higher dose through a compounding pharmacy.
Or you can go to tractor supply.
