Malaria is a contagious infectious disease that still threatening human life. morbidity when viewed by province shows Eastern Indonesia the area with highest Annual Parasite Incidence (API), namely Papua, West NTT, and Maluku. This concern for continued efforts to control eliminate malaria in these high malaria-endemic areas. There are many strategies help prevent, include possibility of innova...

Introduction: During its life cycle, malaria parasite has to traverse successfully through widely diverse environmental milieu of mosquito mid gut, RBC cytosol and human circulatory system where it is exposed to dramatic changes of extracellular milieu in terms of pH, osmolarity and ionic constituents. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the possible changes in the cations (Na+, K+,...

OBJECTIVE To assist with strategic planning for the eradication of malaria in Henan Province, China, which reached the consolidation phase of malaria control in 1992, when only 318 malaria cases were reported. METHODS We conducted a prospective two-year study of the costs for Henan's malaria control programme. We used a cost model that could also be applied to other malaria programmes in main...

BACKGROUND Molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria-specifically, cerebral malaria-are still unclear. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family members are important regulators of inflammation that influence malaria pathogenesis. The soluble form of the auxiliary receptor endoglin (sEng) may play a role in malaria pathogenesis. METHODS ...

Malaria remains a public health problem in Indonesia, therefore, study was conducted to guarantee reduction malaria cases and support an elimination program. This aims determine the patternof vector control malaria-endemic areas of Central Java Province from August December 2016, through searching reports articles on control. eradication efforts that were carried out included curative treatment...

Relating the influence of climate on occurrence a vector-borne disease like malaria quantitatively is quite challenging. To better understand endemicity, effects variables distribution in Cameroon are studied over space and time, with emphasis Bonaberi district. Meteorological monitoring can lead to proactive control. The government Cameroon, through National Control Malaria Program, has put pl...

INTRODUCTION Sustainable control of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa is jeopardized by dwindling public health resources resulting from competing health priorities that include an overwhelming acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. In Mpumalanga province, South Africa, rational planning has historically been hampered by a case surveillance system for malaria that only provided estimat...

INTRODUCTION Larval source management has contributed to malaria decline over the past years. However, little is known about the impact of larval control practices undertaken at the household level on malaria transmission. METHODS The study was conducted in Kaya health district after the 2010 mass distribution of insecticide treated-nets and the initiation of malaria awareness campaigns in Bu...

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...

India achieved spectacular gains in malaria control during the ‘Eradication Era’ 1950s till mid-1960s. The Global Malaria Eradication Programme of WHO launched was a huge success with incidence dropping from an estimated 75 million cases and 8,00,000 deaths 1947 to just 49,151 no 1961 thought be on verge eradication. Thus, since early 1950s, program has produced number successes, faced some set...
