Malaria is endemic in the entire northeastern region comprising of 7 states. P. falciparum is the most predominant species. P. falciparum has become resistant to chloroquine (CQ) and sulphadoxine pyremethamine (SP) drugs. The principal vectors viz. An. baimaii (formerly species D of An. dirus complex), An. minimus and An. fluviatilis are highly efficient in malaria transmission with exophilic a...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) contact tracing and malaria reactive case detection (RACD) are effective strategies for control. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic global attention has received in recent past present hampered control efforts. Among these difficulties finding treating malaria-infected individuals hypoendemic settings community, due to lockdown restrictions by countries. ...

The populations in greatest need of iron supplementation are also those at greatest risk of malaria: pregnant women and young children. Iron supplementation has been shown to increase malaria risk in these groups in numerous studies, although this effect is likely diminished by factors such as host immunity, host iron status, and effective malaria surveillance and control. Conversely, the risk ...

p. vivax malaria with suspected long incubation have been frequently observed mostly in the northwest part of iran in the course of malaria control and malaria eradication operations. a sero-epidemiological study of such cases which present the first symptom in early spring, before anopheles activities season, was carried out in 92 selected villages with a population of 38,726 in two near areas...

Malaria is a severe public health problem, causing an estimated 225 million disease cases and 781,000 deaths per year (WHO, 2010). Most victims are children under five years old living in sub-Saharan Africa (WHO, 2010). Malaria is transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, and because there is currently no vaccine available, vector control is one of the most important means of malaria prevention. Thi...

Serum levels of C-reactive proteins (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total protein, albumin and globulins were investigated using high sensitivity immunoturbidometric and colorimetric techniques in individuals with hepatitis (n=50), malaria (n=50) and 40 control subjects in age range of 30 to 65 years. The hepatitis patients had a significantly higher (P ...

INTRODUCTION This study describes the uses of a control chart in the malaria surveillance at the local level, signaling whether there is a need to intensify or adapt control measures. METHODS The districts of Cruzeiro do Sul (n=14), State of Acre, Brazil, were classified into three groups: I) those with an incidence lower than expected; II) those with an incidence within the expected range; a...
