Impact of climate change to the spread of the disease; Description of the biological models, which are based on modifications of an equation describing transmission potential.RogersDavidJ.RandolphSarahE.EBSCO_AspScienceRogers, D.J., and Randolph, S.E. (2000). The global spread of malaria in ...
Malaria is caused by the protozoa Plasmodium (P) and transmitted by the bite of an infected female anopheline mosquito. There are five species known to cause infection namely, P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. knowlesi. Infection due to P species other than P. ...
Background The role of the Anopheles vector in malaria transmission and the effect of climate on Anopheles populations are well established. Models of the impact of climate change on the global malaria burden now have access to high-resolution climate data, but malaria surveillance data tends to ...
As a response, the WHO and partners are launching a new country-driven "High burden to high impact" plan to support nations with most malaria cases and deaths. It aims to galvanize national and global political attention to reduce malaria deaths; to enhance the use of information; to establis...
Roll Back Malaria has achieved a high profile but little real action Three years have passed since the launch of Roll Back Malaria, the global campaign to halve the burden of malaria by 2010, and one year since its high profile African summit in Abuja.[1] The campaign has had two major ...

p pSpeculations on the potential impact of climate change on human health frequently focus on malaria. Predictions are common that in the coming decades, tens – even hundreds – of millions more cases will occur in regions where the disease is already present, and that transmission will extend...
Caution is required when using health facility-based data to evaluate the health impact of malaria control efforts in Africa. Malaria Journal 2009;8:209 doi:10.1186/1475-2875-8-209. Available at http://www.malariajournal.com/content/pdf/1475-2875-8-209.pdf...
BACKGROUND: International financing for malaria increased more than 18-fold between 2000 and 2011; the largest source came from The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund). Countries have made substantial progress, but achieving elimination requires sustained finances to inter...
the United Arab Emirates, the "World Malaria Report 2023" highlights the correlation between climate change and the spread of malaria. Temperature, humidity and precipitation variations influence the behavior of the Anopheles mosquitoes, which are malaria vectors, and directly impact transmission and morb...
