Laboratory diagnosis of malaria in South Africa has traditionally relied on microscopic examination of stained blood films. More recently, rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have been introduced into routine use, and molecular methods like polymerase chain reaction are useful in certain situations. As with all laboratory tests, each technique has its advantages and disadvantages. Microscopy and RDTs...
Environmental management of mosquito resources is a promising approach with which to control malaria, but it has seen little application in Africa for more than half a century. Here we present a kinetic model of mosquito foraging for aquatic habitats and vertebrate hosts that allows estimation of malaria transmission intensity by defining the availability of these resources as the rate at which...
BACKGROUND Due to challenges in laboratory confirmation, reporting completeness, timeliness, and health access, routine incidence data from health management information systems (HMIS) have rarely been used for the rigorous evaluation of malaria control program scale-up in Africa. METHODS We used data from the Zambia HMIS for 2009-2011, a period of rapid diagnostic and reporting scale-up, to ...
Malaria affects about half of the world's population, with the vast majority of cases occuring in Africa. National malaria control programmes aim to reduce the burden of malaria and its negative, socioeconomic effects by using various control strategies (e.g. vector control, environmental management and case tracking). Vector control is the most effective transmission prevention strategy, while...
Introduction: Travel health practice and research in Egypt lag behind both needs and demands. This study was done in two parts to assess travel health knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among Egyptian travelers. Methods: This survey was conducted at the departure halls of Cairo International Airport and included 1500 travelers to Africa (excluding No...
Prompt malaria diagnosis is crucial so antimalarial drugs and supportive care can then be rapidly initiated. A 15-year-old boy who had traveled to Africa (South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria between January 3 and 25, 2011) presented with fever persisting over 5 days, headache, diarrhea, and dysuria, approximately 17 days after his return from the journey. Urinalysis showed pyuria and hematuria. Bl...

December 2011, Vol. 101, No. 12 SAMJ The burden of malaria In South Africa, malaria is endemic in three provinces – Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal (Fig. 1) – and transmission occurs predominantly between September and May.1 Over the past decade, the National Department of Health (DoH) has focused intense efforts on preventing the local transmission of malaria, and on ensuring the prompt ...
Since 2010, the World Health Organization has been recommending that all suspected cases of malaria be confirmed with parasite-based diagnosis before treatment. These guidelines represent a paradigm shift away from presumptive antimalarial treatment of fever. Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) are central to implementing this policy, intended to target artemisinin-based combination therapie...
