BACKGROUND Mobile populations are at a high risk of malaria infection and suspected to carry and spread resistant parasites. The Myanmar National Malaria Control Programme focuses on preventive interventions and vector control measures for the temporary mobile/migrant workers in Myanmar Artemisinin Resistance Containment Zones. METHODS A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in 2012...
Perspectives Status of malaria vaccine development Policy-makers in countries where malaria is endemic are facing increasingly complex decisions about which vaccines and malaria prevention measures to include in national immunization and malaria control programmes. Several new vaccines and malaria preventive measures are already competing for limited financing in developing countries. African c...
BACKGROUND Universal coverage with long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) is a primary control strategy against Plasmodium falciparum malaria. However, its impact on the three other main species of human malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF), which share the same vectors in many co-endemic areas, is not as well characterized. The recent development of multiplex antibody detection provides the o...
BACKGROUND Over the past decade malaria intervention coverage has been scaled up across Africa. However, it remains unclear what overall reduction in transmission is achievable using currently available tools. METHODS AND FINDINGS We developed an individual-based simulation model for Plasmodium falciparum transmission in an African context incorporating the three major vector species (Anophel...
Malaria is still a major public health concern in Cameroon as more than 20 million people are at risk of the disease. Despite government’s effort to scale up distribution long lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs), full ownership and optimal use limited. In 2021, over LLINs were made available for South West Region. However, current situation malaria has not yet been ascertained followin...
BACKGROUND Although many malaria control programmes in sub-Saharan Africa use indoor residual spraying with long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), the two studies assessing the benefit of the combination of these two interventions gave conflicting results. We aimed to assess whether the addition of indoor residual spraying to LLINs provided a significantly different level of protection against...
In central Nigeria Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF). The strategy used for interrupting LF transmission in this area is annual mass drug administration (MDA) with albendazole and ivermectin, but after 8 years of MDA, entomological evaluations in sentinel villages showed continued low-grade mosquito infection rates of 0.32%. After long-lasting insecticidal net ...
Results: The overall coverage of DDT was low (25.3%). Coverage was slightly better among tribal households (31.3%) compared to non-tribal population (19.4%). The acceptance of DDT spray was found to be significantly associated with knowledge about mode of transmission of malaria and type of house. Room-wise coverage was not as per norms. Refusal of DDT was seen more among non-tribal communities...
