International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research
The past two decades have witnessed an extraordinary commitment to malaria control and elimination, which has been accompanied by a considerable reduction in global malaria morbidity and mortality. Although malaria research efforts have dramatically increased over this period, most clinical research projects still tend to be narrowly focused in scientific scope, and are conducted in a limited c...
متن کاملMalaria Molecular Epidemiology: Lessons from the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research Network
Molecular epidemiology leverages genetic information to study the risk factors that affect the frequency and distribution of malaria cases. This article describes molecular epidemiologic investigations currently being carried out by the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR) network in a variety of malaria-endemic settings. First, we discuss various novel approaches to...
متن کاملMalaria Epidemiology and Control within the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research
Understanding the epidemiological features and metrics of malaria in endemic populations is a key component to monitoring and quantifying the impact of current and past control efforts to inform future ones. The International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR) has the opportunity to evaluate the impact of malaria control interventions across endemic regions that differ in the do...
متن کاملMalaria Diagnosis across the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research: Platforms, Performance, and Standardization
Diagnosis is "the act of identifying a disease, illness, or problem by examining someone or something." When an individual with acute fever presents for clinical attention, accurate diagnosis leading to specific, prompt treatment often saves lives. As applied to malaria, not only individual patient diagnosis is important but also assessing population-level malaria prevalence using appropriate d...
متن کاملInsecticide Resistance in Areas under Investigation by the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research: A Challenge for Malaria Control and Elimination
Scale-up of the main vector control interventions, residual insecticides sprayed on walls or structures and/or impregnated in bed nets, together with prompt diagnosis and effective treatment, have led to a global reduction in malaria transmission. However, resistance in vectors to almost all classes of insecticides, particularly to the synthetic pyrethroids, is posing a challenge to the recent ...
