Epidemiological scenario of malaria differs from state to state and region to region and the data of a country cannot represent the situation in different regions. One should have a clear knowledge about the dynamics of malaria in a particular region so that prevention and management strategies can be planned in a better way. If we look at the epidemiological trends of India there is a trend to...

BACKGROUND Malaria, remains one of the leading causes of high morbidity and mortality in Nigeria despite implementation of several public health interventions for its control. Operational limitations and methodological gaps have been associated with malaria control interventions and research, and these have necessitated the need for a well-tailored Malaria Operational Research (MOR) agenda. How...

Malaria is an intra-cellular parasitic protozoon responsible for millions of deaths annually. Host and parasite genetic factors are crucial in affecting susceptibility to malaria and progression of the disease. Recent increased deployment of vector controls and new artemisinin combination therapies have dramatically reduced the mortality and morbidity of malaria worldwide. However, the gradual ...
