Community engagement approaches for malaria prevention, control and
Introduction. Malaria, a vector-borne disease, remains a major public health challenge contributing to an estimated 228 million cases and 400 000 deaths annually worldwide. 1 Globally, between 2010 and 2014, there was a 70% decrease in malaria incidence, however, in the last 5 years, the progress towards further reduction has been relatively static. 2 The earlier decrease in cases was ...
Ethical considerations in malaria research proposal review: empirical
The proposals under the FTM affiliation were all reviewed by the FTM-EC. This study examined all 114 malaria research proposals submitted to an REC in Thailand during a five-year period. Overall, the FTM makes a considerable contribution to malaria research globally.

Malaria research. Each year there are more than 200 million new cases of malaria, a preventable and treatable disease. According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) World malaria report 2019, there were no global gains in reducing new infections between 2014 and 2018, and nearly as many people died from malaria in 2018 as in the previous ...

1. Background. Malaria is a febrile disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. The disease remains one of the most severe public health problem worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas [].Plasmodium (P) falciparum, P. vivax, P. malarae, P. ovale, and P. knowlesi naturally infect human to cause malaria. However, P. falciparum and P. vivax are the most ...

Community engagement (CE) is important for malaria prevention, control and ultimately elimination. As the decline of malaria has plateaued over the last 5 years, strengthening CE approaches will be necessary to enhance health promotion practice and policy to drive malaria transmission down further. Countries have adopted a wide range of public health intervention approaches for malaria ...

Background Increased engagement of communities has been emphasized in global plans for malaria control and elimination. Three interventions to reinforce and complement national malaria control recommendations were developed and applied within the context of a broad-based development initiative, targeting a rural population surrounding a wildlife reserve. The interventions, which were part of a ...
Achievements, Gaps, and Emerging Challenges in Controlling Malaria in
Section 2 gives a brief overview of the malaria risk in Ethiopia. Section 3 succinctly presents the malaria prevention and control measures followed by the past achievements, the current gaps, and emerging issues related to malaria control measures in Section 4. This is followed by some recommendations in Section 5, and conclusions in Section 6.
Community engagement approaches for malaria prevention, control and
The scoping review results will identify and map the available evidences, sources of information and research gaps in the area of CE as one approach for malaria prevention, control and/or elimination. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study only aims to review secondary sources and does not require human research ethics committee approval.

Abstract: Malaria transmission and prevalence involves a triangular web of interactions between man, vector, and the environment. Any meaningful effort in malaria control, elimination and or eradication should target weakening and or breaking the forces of interactions within the triangle. In sub-Saharan Africa, effective malaria control ...
Facilitators and barriers to integrated malaria prevention in Wakiso
Malaria continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Appropriate combinations of non-chemical and chemical methods of malaria vector control in the context of integrated vector management have been recommended by the World Health Organization. The aim of the study was to explore facilitators and barriers to using integrated malaria ...

Results. A total of 12 FGDs and 19 KIIs were conducted. Five main themes emerged from the study: malaria prevention practices related to integrated malaria prevention; preferred malaria prevention methods in the integrated approach; potential challenges of integrated malaria prevention; perspectives on the proposed RCT; and sustainability of integrated malaria prevention.

Malaria in pregnancy: challenges for control and the need for urgent
Malaria in pregnancy has a devastating effect on the health of mothers and their babies, and is an important cause of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity.1 The greatest effect of malaria in pregnancy is concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and is associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection. However, pregnant women are also at risk of Plasmodium vivax malaria. Although its burden ...
