BACKGROUND While recognizing the recent remarkable achievement in the global malaria reduction, the disease remains a challenge to the malaria endemic countries in Africa. Beyond the huge health consequence of malaria, policymakers need to be informed about the economic burden of the disease to the households. However, evidence on the economic burden of malaria in Ethiopia is scanty. The aims o...

UNLABELLED The study area in Rondônia was the site of extensive malaria epidemic outbreaks in the 19(th) and 20(th) centuries related to environmental impacts, with large immigration flows. The present work analyzes the transmission dynamics of malaria in these areas to propose measures for avoiding epidemic outbreaks due to the construction of two Hydroelectric Power Plants. A population based...

• Each table in the database has one column and stores the possible values for a ground fluent term. •Whenever there is complete knowledge about the term, the corresponding table has exactly one row. E.g., the ground fluent term door has only one possible value (Closed ) and so the table for door has exactly one row: Closed. •Whenever there is incomplete knowledge, the table has more than one r...

This study aimed to carry out a malaria situation analysis, species composition and susceptibility levels of the main malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi, to different insecticides in Bashagard. A longitudinal survey was conducted in 2 randomly selected villages in Bashagard. Malaria vectors were sampled by dipping method for the larvae and hand catch, night-biting catch, total catch, and shelt...

A longitudinal demographic-parasitological survey on malaria was conducted at 10 weekly intervals starting from September in one foothill village with the population of 1,095 and one epidemiologically comparable plain village with the population of 962 in Kyauktaga township, Bago division, 120 miles north of Yangon. The objective was to describe and analyse the current malaria situation in a fo...

The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants granted a controversial exemption for some countries to continue using DDT. DDT has a history of use in malaria control, but widespread concern about health risks led to declining use. A science-based policy analysis of existing published literature was conducted to consider DDT toxicology and malaria risk in South Africa to generate dat...

The problem of malaria To the great surprise of many well-informed people in developed countries, malaria remains a major problem in the world today. Although figures may not be very reliable, it was estimated that in 2008 one fifth of the world’s population was at risk of malaria, leading to 240 million episodes and some 850,000 deaths, the majority occurring in Africa. The impact falls mainly...

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...
