Abstract

Among children 5 to 15 years of age who were living in an area with high coverage and use of bed nets, ivermectin, administered once a month for 3 consecutive months, resulted in a 26% lower incidence of malaria infection than albendazole. No safety concerns were identified. (Funded by Unitaid; BOHEMIA ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04966702; Pan African Clinical Trial Registry number, PACTR202106695877303.).
