  1. 1. Aiming at malaria elimination in Zanzibar

    Författare :Delér Shakely; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Following the increase of the international funding for implementation of the combined malaria control strategies in the past decade, a significant reduction of malaria attributed morbidity and mortality has been achieved. Yet, malaria is still a severe threat to global health. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Evaluating and optimizing surveillance and response strategies for malaria elimination in the Asia Pacific region

    Författare :Chris Cotter; Andreas Mårtensson; Arantxa Roca-Feltrer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; malaria elimination; surveillance and response; reactive case detection; sociobehavorial; reactive drug administration; molecular diagnostics; microsatellite genotyping; Plasmodium vivax; low transmission;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria case investigation and reactive case detection (RACD) activities are widely implemented in low transmission settings to identify additional malaria infections and gather surveillance information, but with varying degrees of success. Challenges in conducting RACD include poor diagnostic sensitivity (particularly for low density and asymptomatic infections), knowledge gaps among those conducting RACD, financial and resource constraints, and operational and logistical difficulties.

  4. 3. Towards Climate Based Early Warning and Response Systems for Malaria

    Författare :Maquins Odhiambo Sewe; Joacim Rocklöv; Clas Ahlm; Yesim Tozan; Madeleine Thomson; Umeå universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Background: Great strides have been made in combating malaria, however, the indicators in sub Saharan Africa still do not show promise for elimination in the near future as malaria infections still result in high morbidity and mortality among children. The abundance of the malaria-transmitting mosquito vectors in these regions are driven by climate suitability. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Targeting malaria elimination : an assessment of malaria control interventions for children in Zanzibar

    Författare :Netta Beer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Zanzibar;

    Sammanfattning : Background: After decades of neglect, a renewed global focus on malaria was initiated in the 90s, followed by global financial support in the early 2000s. Zanzibar has been in the forefront of these renewed efforts: Case management and vector-control interventions have been implemented and scaled-up rapidly, resulting in markedly reduced malaria transmission and the targeting of malaria elimination.

  7. 5. Immunity and immunological surveillance for malaria elimination in tropical islands

    Författare :Zulkarnain Md Idris; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria remains one of the most significant global public health challenges. Nearly half of the world’s population remains at risk, largely in African Region. In the past decade, considerable progress has been made in the global fight to control and eliminate malaria. LÄS MER
