Abstract

Chloroquine or dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine with either 7- or 14-day primaquine regimens provided highly effective radical cure of vivax malaria on the Thailand-Myanmar border. Short course higher dose primaquine regimens for vivax malaria radical cure may improve efficacy by improving adherence.
