Tribal Community Visit to Malaria-Endemic Areas Can Pose Risk to Car Nicobar Island: Deterrent for Malaria Elimination
Introduction: In the past 10 years, a declining trend was seen in the annual parasite incidence (API) of malaria in the Car Nicobar Island. For the past few years, the API in the island has been below one. Car Nicobar Island is struggling with malaria cases reported to have been brought from other, malaria-endemic islands. Methods: The movements of people...
متن کاملObservation of Blood Donor-Recipient Malaria Parasitaemia Patterns in a Malaria Endemic Region
Background Asymptomatic malaria parasitaemia has been documented in donor blood in West Africa. However, donated blood is not routinely screened for malaria parasites (MPs). The present study therefore aimed to document the frequency of blood transfusion-induced donor-recipient malaria parasitaemia patterns, in children receiving blood transfusion in a tertiary health-centre. Methodology A cr...
متن کاملMalaria in Brazil: what happens outside the Amazonian endemic region
Brazil, a country of continental proportions, presents three profiles of malaria transmission. The first and most important numerically, occurs inside the Amazon. The Amazon accounts for approximately 60% of the nation's territory and approximately 13% of the Brazilian population. This region hosts 99.5% of the nation's malaria cases, which are predominantly caused by Plasmodium vivax (i.e., 82...
متن کاملMapping internal connectivity through human migration in malaria endemic countries
Human mobility continues to increase in terms of volumes and reach, producing growing global connectivity. This connectivity hampers efforts to eliminate infectious diseases such as malaria through reintroductions of pathogens, and thus accounting for it becomes important in designing global, continental, regional, and national strategies. Recent works have shown that census-derived migration d...
متن کاملMalaria in Southern Brazil: a potential threat for a non-endemic region.
It is of great concern the current re-emergence of tropical diseases in non-endemic areas. Malaria is still a major health problem in many areas of Brazil, particularly in the Amazon region. Nevertheless, outside the Amazon basin cases are often unrecognized by health care workers. This lack of understanding delays diagnosis, increases lethality and probably potential for transmission (since in...
