A human victim will get bitten by a female Anopheles mosquito that has been exposed to the malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites. The leading cause of mortality globally is malaria, but in Africa, unfavorable outcomes can be prevented with early detection and timely treatment most typical illness Africa numerous nations Malaria exists Asia, which imported from endemic regions industrialized worl...

after mentioning the main differences between malaria control and malaria eradication, it is suggested that all anti–malaria activities in iran should be renamed as malaria control. applied research in malaria is identified into four categories covering the following subjects. 1- malaria parasites and anti-malaria drugs. 2- malaria vectors. 3- malaria in the community. 4- use of epidemiological...

BACKGROUND Loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) provides an opportunity for improved, field-friendly detection of malaria infections in endemic areas. However data on the diagnostic accuracy of LAMP for active case detection, particularly low-density parasitaemias, are lacking. We therefore evaluated the performance of a new LAMP kit compared with PCR using DNA from filter paper blood ...

BACKGROUND In the majority of health centers in Ethiopia, the severity of falciparum malaria has been determined by parasitemia alone. However, it has been suggested that the use of peripheral infected RBC counts as an indicator of disease severity by itself is insufficient. Therefore, this study was performed to assess the severity of falciparum malaria infection in three Ethiopian localities ...

Korean vivax malaria had been prevalent for longtime throughout the country with low endemicity. As a result of the Korean war (1950-1953), malaria became epidemic. In 1959-1969 when the National Malaria Eradication Service (NMES) was implemented, malaria rates declined, with low endemicity in the south-west and south plain areas and high endemic foci in north Kyongsangbuk-do (province) and nor...

Malaria fever is a potentially fatal disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. Identifying parasites in blood smear images can help diagnose malaria rapidly and precisely. According to World Health Organization (WHO), there were 241 million cases 627 000 deaths worldwide 2020, while 95% of 96% occurred Africa. Also Africa, children that are less than five years old accounted for an estimated 8...

Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have now been recommended and brought to field operation by the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP). The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of two commonly used RDTs; Wondfo and SD Bioline Malaria Pf/Pan for malaria diagnosis in an endemic area of Koraput district, Odisha state. A total of 100 clinically suspected malaria p...

INTRODUCTION This study was designed to compare the detection of malaria parasites in peripheral blood smears using the Cyscope malaria rapid fluorescent microscopic technique and light microscopy of Giemsa-stained smears. METHODOLOGY A total of 295 blood smears were collected from patients of all age groups presenting with clinical signs and symptoms of malaria to 10 City Health Clinics in H...

BACKGROUND Pakistan adopted the malaria control strategy with provincial commitment in 1998. Pakistan joined the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) initiative in 2001. This led to development of a 5 year roll back malaria strategy. The aim of the paper is to audit whether the malaria control programme in NWFP was able to implement strategies suggested by RBM initiative in the year 2002-2005, and its subse...

BACKGROUND Sri Lanka has a long history of malaria control, and over the past decade has had dramatic declines in cases amid a national conflict. A case study of Sri Lanka's malaria programme was conducted to characterize the programme and explain recent progress. METHODS The case study employed qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were collected from published and grey literature, dist...
