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...

Report on resistance of old malarial drug treatment (eg. chloroquine, sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine, and quinine) in the last decade has become concerned, affecting more than 25% provinces in Indonesia. Such a situation leads to a decision made by the Department of Health through commission meetings of malarial experts or known as komisi ahli malaria (KOMLI) to change the strategy of malaria drug ...

To the Editor: Imported malaria has become a major public health challenge in China. Despite an 89.8% decrease in total cases from 2008 (26,873) through 2012 (2,729), the proportion of imported malaria cases has increased from 14.7% to 89.0% (1). We analyzed the malaria situation in China in 2012 by using data obtained from the national information reporting system of infectious diseases. In th...

From the 1950s until 1979 malaria control in Afghanistan was implemented through a vertical programme managed by the government, but little of the original programme remained functional by the early 1990s. Delivery of basic health care including malaria diagnosis and treatment was done by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and UN agencies, which organised cross-border operations from Pakista...

Malaria control is reliant on the use of long-lasting pyrethroid-impregnated nets and/or indoor residual spraying (IRS) of insecticide. The rapid selection and spread of operationally significant pyrethroid resistance in African malaria vectors threatens our ability to sustain malaria control. Establishing whether resistance is operationally significant is technically challenging. Routine monit...

Plasmodium falciparum being the most lethal plasmodiae is still a major cause of the disease burden and mortality in malaria endemic areas. Due to the wide spread drug resistance in combination with poor socio-economic situation in the vast majority of the endemic countries, malaria is today a great global challenge. The scientific community is, however, progressing. The 23 Mb genome of P. falc...

Changing patterns of the reemerging Plasmodium vivax malaria in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) during the period 1993 to 2005 are briefly analyzed with emphasis on the control measures used and the effects of meteorological and entomological factors. Data were obtained from the Communicable Diseases Monthly Reports published by the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and webpa...

The situation calculus is one of the most established formalisms for reasoning about action and change. In this paper we will review the basics of Reiter’s version of the situation calculus, show how knowledge and time have been addressed in this framework, and point to some of the weaknesses of the situation calculus with respect to time. We then present a modal version of the situation calcul...
