The article published by Quispe and others outlines Peru’s three strategic plans to eliminate malaria in the Peruvian Amazon region. It is a significant achievement for Peru to implement a plan to eradicate malaria in the Amazon region, where the greater percentages of cases of malaria in Peru are concentrated. Malaria has devastating effects on the health and way of life of the people all over...

Background:to analyze the epidemiological behavior of malaria, in relation to armed con-flicts presented on Pacific coast Nariño (PCN).Methodology: there was a multi-group ecological study with secondary information sour-ce, frequency malaria (PCN) population, and relationship region, resulting from country’s internal conflict, 2003 2017, analyzed.Results: Armed conflict affects structure healt...

The history of malaria has been dominated by the discoveries of Ronald Ross and Giovanni Battista Grassi, and the malaria eradication campaign of the World Health Organization. Much of this has tended towards the hagiographic or celebratory, although reviews of the malaria eradication programme have become increasingly critical. Recent literature on the history of malaria has been set within a ...

Malaria transmission rates and risks can be greatly reduced by vector control, mitigating high malaria incidence and prevalence rates. Methods and strategies for malaria vector control (MVC) have been well documented by WHO, although its implementation varies widely. Technical guidelines for MVC strategies and materials are readily available, but the status and role of MVC have not been reviewe...

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...

Azerbaijan in the south caucasus region of far southeastern Europe has a long history of malaria endemicity but just successfully eliminated local transmission. After a period of relatively stable malaria situation (1960-1970), the country witnessed an epidemic followed by a series of outbreaks of various magnitudes in the following two decades, all caused by Plasmodium vivax Compared with 1993...

Antimalarial drugs will be essential tools at all stages of malaria elimination along the path towards eradication, including the early control or "attack" phase to drive down transmission and the later stages of maintaining interruption of transmission, preventing reintroduction of malaria, and eliminating the last residual foci of infection. Drugs will continue to be used to treat acute malar...

Migration is an important global issue as poorly managed migration can result in a diversity of problems, including an increase in the transmission of diseases such as malaria. There is evidence to suggest that malaria is no longer a forest-dependent disease and may largely be affected by population movements, mostly to agricultural areas. While internal and transnational migration has differen...

Following substantial decline in malaria burden in Ethiopia, the country is planning to eliminate malaria in certain low transmission settings by 2020. To evaluate the attainability of this goal in-depth examination of malaria parasite carriage at community level is necessary. This study was, therefore, aimed at assessing the current situation of malaria in relation to ongoing control intervent...

Malaria as a disease has been identified in Egypt since ancient times. Malaria was endemic in almost all parts of the country but prevalence showed a steady decrease by 1990, and regressed in most of the Governorates. Then by the end of 1998 till now Egypt become free from local transmission of malaria. All reported cases were imported mainly from Sudan. However, the outbreak of falciparum (1 c...
