1. Introduction. Malaria affected an estimated 219 million people causing 435,000 deaths in 2017 globally. This burden of morbidity and mortality is a result of more than a century of global effort and research aimed at improving the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of malaria [].Malaria is the most common disease in Africa and some countries in Asia with the highest number of indigenous ...
The 2023 WHO World malaria report
The estimated number of global malaria cases in 2022 exceeded pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in 2019, according to WHO's 2023 World malaria report. Several threats to the malaria global response are highlighted in the report, including climate change. The report, an annual assessment of global trends in malaria control and elimination, noted ...

Malaria is resurging in many African and South American countries, exacerbated by COVID-19-related health service disruption. In 2021, there were an estimated 247 million malaria cases and 619 000 deaths in 84 endemic countries. Plasmodium falciparum strains partly resistant to artemisinins are entrenched in the Greater Mekong region and have emerged in Africa, while Anopheles mosquito vectors ...

Malaria
Malaria is a tropical and subtropical, mosquito-borne parasitic disease that is endemic in 84 countries and causes an estimated 247 million clinical infections and 619 000 deaths annually. 1 The infectious agent is a single-celled intracellular protozoan from the genus Plasmodium. Six species commonly infect humans (figure 1), of which Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax are the most ...

Malaria diagnostic update: From conventional to advanced method
1. BACKGROUND. Malaria is still a health problem in the world. Five species can infect humans, namely Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malaria, Plasmodium ovale, and Plasmodium knowlesi.Four species are considered true parasites of humans, while P. knowlesi is still considered a zoonotic malaria. Among these species, P. falciparum and P. vivax are the most prevalent ...

Malaria
Excerpt. Malaria is a parasitic infection transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito that leads to acute life-threatening disease and poses a significant global health threat. Two billion people risk contracting malaria annually, including those in 90 endemic countries and 125 million travelers, and 1.5 to 2.7 million people die in a year.
Malaria in 2022: Increasing challenges, cautious optimism
In 2020, malaria was estimated to have resulted in 627,000 deaths and 241 million cases, with 77% of deaths in children <5 years of age 1. Overall, 90% of malaria cases and deaths are reported in ...

Following unsuccessful eradication attempts there was a resurgence of malaria towards the end of the 20th century. Renewed control efforts using a range of improved tools, such as long-lasting insecticide-treated bednets and artemisinin-based combination therapies, have more than halved the global burden of disease, but it remains high with 445 000 deaths and more than 200 million cases in ...

Resurgence of Clinical Malaria in Ethiopia and Its Link to Anopheles
The invasion of Anopheles stephensi into Africa poses a potential threat to malaria control and elimination on the continent. However, it is not clear if the recent malaria resurgence in Ethiopia has linked to the expansion of An. stephensi. We obtained the clinical malaria case reports and malaria intervention data from the Ethiopian Ministry of Health (MoH) for the period 2001-2022. We ...

Reflections on the 2021 World Malaria Report and the future of malaria
The World Malaria Report, released in December 2021, reflects the unique challenges currently facing the global malaria community. The report showed the devastating toll of malaria, with an estimated 627,000 people losing their lives to the disease in 2020. The improved methodological approach used for calculating cause of death for young children revealed a systematic underestimation of ...
