Movement of malaria across international borders poses a major obstacle to achieving malaria elimination in the 34 countries that have committed to this goal. In border areas, malaria prevalence is often higher than in other areas due to lower access to health services, treatment-seeking behaviour of marginalized populations that typically inhabit border areas, difficulties in deploying prevent...

Background: Banyumas Regency is a malaria-receptive area with the occurrence of imported cases, particularly in sub-districts potential for transmission and even extraordinary events. To eliminate malaria regency, Migration surveillance needed. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate implementing migration system maintain its elimination status 2021.
 Method: This qualitative case was condu...

Sri Lanka is a tropical island located South of India in the Indian Ocean. Malaria has been prevalent in the island for centuries but the country succeeded in eliminating the disease in 2013. Factors governing the past endemicity of malaria and its successful elimination from Sri Lanka in 2013 are analyzed. There is evidence that malaria might have been first introduced in the thirteenth centur...

Abstract Africa continues to experience the highest infectious disease burden despite an increase in investments. These include investments malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, as well communicable diseases. The global targets are reduce of these diseases through improved surveillance, prevention outbreaks, effective case management, elimination and eventually, eradication. Achieving targets, howev...

The epidemiology of malaria in the Greater Mekong Subregion is complex and rapidly evolving. Malaria control and elimination efforts face a daunting array of challenges including multidrug-resistant parasites. This review presents secondary data collected by the national malaria control programs in the six countries between 1998 and 2010 and examines trends over the last decade. This data has a...

Existing malaria vector control measures, such as long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) and house spraying with residual insecticides (IRS), have significantly contributed to the decreasing burden of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa [1]. It is estimated that intervention scale-up from the year 2000 to 2010 averted between 563.000 and 1.36 million child deaths in 43 malaria-endemic countrie...

BACKGROUND Though many countries, including China, are moving towards malaria elimination, malaria remains a major global health threat. Due to the spread of antimalarial drug resistance and the need for innovative medical products during the elimination phase, further research and development (R&D) of innovative tools in both epidemic and elimination areas is needed. This study aims to identif...

Fifty years after narrowly missing the opportunity to eliminate malaria from Sri Lanka in the 1960s, the country has now interrupted malaria transmission and sustained this interruption for more than 12 months - no indigenous malaria cases have been reported since October 2012. This was achieved through a period overlapping with a 30-year separatist war in areas that were endemic for malaria. T...

The Global Malaria Action Plan places scaled-up effective malaria control as a necessary prerequisite for malaria elimination. Effective and sustained malaria control depends on vastly strengthened health systems in malaria endemic countries. However definitions of health system strengthening, and the means to achieve it are still lacking. Emerging approaches of system-wide thinking that applie...
