Alvorlige infektioner skyldes primært Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae og Neisseria meningitidis. Risikoen for svær infektion ved malaria og dyrebid er også markant forhøjet. Vaccination, antibiotika profylakse/tidlig behandling og adækvat patient information er afgørende for forebyggelse af infektioner.

…om, men det er netop hvad en videreudvikling af artemisiner kan gøre. Det var derfor fuldt fortjent at Youyou Tu fra Kina modtog Nobel prisen 2015 for hendes opdagelse i 1970’erne at Artemisia annua fra traditionel kinesisk medicin havde effekt på malaria. De første kliniske forsøg blev udført i 1973 og længe var det vanskeligt at have adgang til disse lægemidler udenfor Kina. Nu har anvendelsen af intravenøs artesunate imidlertid erstattet kinin og er blevet standard i Europa ved svær malari…

. Abstract. . Background. Despite significant efforts to control malaria infections in recent years, new infection rates continue to pose a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia. This study aims to identify the key factors of malaria infection among children under five years (U5) in the Gursum district of Somali region, Eastern Ethiopia. . . . …

Malaria chemoprophylaxis with weekly dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine in children with sickle cell anaemia is safe and considerably more efficacious than monthly sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine. However, monthly sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine was associated with fewer episodes of non-malaria-related illnesses, especially in children 5 years or older not receiving penicillin prophylaxis, which might reflect its antimicrobial effects. In areas with high P falciparum antifolate resistance, dihydroartemisinin–pipera…

. Abstract. . Background. Malaria prevention during pregnancy significantly minimizes maternal–fetal adverse events. However, optimal uptake of malaria preventive therapy in pregnancy (MPTp) remains a major challenge for both women living with HIV and those without. In Uganda, suboptimal uptake of MPTp is primarily due to inadequate knowledge among women. This study aimed to develop and assess the feasibility and acceptabi…

. Abstract. . Background. Among the several strategies recommended for the fight against malaria, seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and amodiaquine combination (SPAQ) targets children 3 months to 5 years in Sahel regions of Africa to reduce mortality and mortality. Since SMC with SPAQ is administered to symptoms-free children for prevention of malaria, it is anticipated that a proportion…

. Abstract. . Background. In malaria vaccine clinical trials, immune responses after vaccination may be compromised due to immunosuppression caused by concurrent Plasmodium falciparum infection. This has a direct effect on the protective efficacy of the vaccine being evaluated. Therefore, parasite clearance prior to vaccination is being considered. Drugs with good safety and efficacy profiles and a short posttreatment prophy…

. Abstract. . Background. Senegal has made significant progress in reducing the burden of malaria, but transmission remains highly heterogeneous, with specific population subgroups likely at higher risk. Consultations with the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) and a review of available data identified nomadic pastoralists, gold miners, and Koranic school students as potential high-risk populations (HRPs). This study …

. Abstract. . Background. Amazonas is a region in northern Peru with the second-highest incidence of malaria. Approximately 95% of the cases are reported in the Condorcanqui province, where native communities living along the banks of Santiago River lack access to potable water, sewage, and electricity. This study aimed to analyse malaria’s spatial, temporal, and climatic characteristics in Condorcanqui to guide future stu…

. Abstract. . Background. Implemented in 17 countries to date, seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a recommended strategy to prevent childhood malaria in areas with seasonal transmission of P. falciparum through monthly administration of antimalarial medicines. Understanding the costs and resource requirements of SMC delivery is necessary for effective planning and resource allocation. This systematic literature review…

. Abstract. . Background. Malaria remains a significant public health concern, despite global efforts to combat the disease with highest burden in Africa. Reports of emerging artemisinin partial- resistance in East Africa emphasize the importance of molecular data to guide policy decisions. Hence the need for researchers to collaborate with National control programmes to conduct genomics surveillance of malaria to inform mal…

. Abstract. . Background. Insecticide-based malaria vector control has been implemented on the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe (STP) for more than 20 years. During this period malaria incidence was significantly reduced to pre-elimination levels. While cases remained low since 2015, these have significantly increased in the last year, challenging the commitment of the country to achieve malaria elimination by 2025. To b…

. Abstract. . Background. Malaria-endemic countries are increasingly adopting data-driven risk stratification, often at district or higher regional levels, to guide their intervention strategies. The data typically comes from population-level surveys collected by rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), which unfortunately perform poorly in low transmission settings. Here, a high-resolution survey of Plasmodium falciparum prevalence r…

… A series of experimental hut trials were performed to evaluate the bioefficacy of new and field-aged next-generation ITNs (PermaNet® 3.0, Royal Guard®, Interceptor® G2) compared to a pyrethroid-only net (Interceptor®) against pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors in Covè, southern Benin. Field-aged nets were withdrawn from households at 12, 24 and 36 months. Net pieces cut from whole ITNs were analysed for chemical content, and susceptibility bioassays were performed during each trial to assess ch…

. Abstract. . Background. Malaria remains a critical public health challenge globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where it significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality among children under-five. In Ghana, efforts to promote the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) as a preventive measure have been substantial but utilization rates remain suboptimal.

. Abstract. . Background. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) has been implemented in Rwanda in districts with high malaria transmission, including Ngoma District. The first IRS campaign (IRS-1) was conducted in March 2019, ahead of the peak malaria season, followed by a second campaign (IRS-2) in August 2020, targeting 89,331 structures.

. Abstract. . Background. Malaria poses a significant public health threat globally, particularly in African regions, where asymptomatic malaria is a considerable logistic problem. Individuals with asymptomatic malaria do not seek treatment, and thus they are invisible to health facilities and represent a substantial hidden reservoir of Plasmodium species. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic malaria …

Abstract . Background . Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a malaria control strategy implemented before the rainy season. Nchelenge District, Zambia is a holoendemic setting where IRS has been conducted since 2008 with little impact on malaria incidence or parasite prevalence. Pre-rainy season IRS may not reduce the post-rainy season peak abundance of the major vector, Anopheles funestus.Methods . A controlled, pre-post, prospective cohort study assessed the impact of late-rainy season IRS on malaria preval…

It has since been expanded to multiple countries, but no systematic review has examined the evidence for its use. A systematic review was conducted aiming to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the strategy and identify key challenges and variations in its implementation across different countries. . …

Bekæmpelsen af malaria er i de senere år gået den forkerte vej. Det skyldes blandt andet øget resistens, følger af covid-19-pandemien, de globale klimaforandringer og faldende finansiering til malariabekæmpelse.
