Despite these encouraging statistics, the burden of malaria in Africa remains high. One area of malaria control which has been neglected is malaria transmission through blood transfusion. In sub-Saharan African (SSA), little is known about the burden of transfusion transmitted malaria (TTM) and ...
Malaria, a completely preventable and treatable disease, remains one of the biggest killers in Sub-Saharan Africa today. The objectives of this study were to describe the impact of malaria on a small rural community in Uganda (Bufuula) and to implement and evaluate a malaria prevention program...
we retrospectively assess whether childhood malaria in sub-Saharan Africa varies across differing agricultural land uses after controlling for socio-economic and environmental confounders. Using a multi-model inference hierarchical modelling framework, we found that rainfed...
Recently, malaria has affected 228 million people worldwide, with approximately 213 million in the Sub-Saharan Africa either 93% of the world population [2]. Statistics show that 9.6 million people either 19% of the total population in Kenya were at risk of malaria in 2019 in the high ...

In sub-Saharan Africa, malaria treatment relies heavily on artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). The implementation of surveillance programs for early detection of emerging artemisinin-resistant Pf strains will be the key to prevent the spread across the continent9. Artemisinin-resistant Pf ...
Compared to standard nets, the introduction of 56 million state-of-the-art mosquito nets in 17 countries across sub-Saharan Africa averted an estimated 13 million malaria cases and 24,600 deaths.17 April 2024GENEVA/LIVERPOOL – The New Nets Project, an initiative funded by Unitaid and the ...
Treating children in sub-Saharan Africa’s malaria-endemic areas with a monthly preventive drug regimen during the rainy season reduced children’s deaths from the disease by up to 57%, a study found. To assess the feasibility of rolling out a massive malaria prevention campaign, the ...
In most regions where they occur, An. gambiae, An. arabiensis, An. coluzzii and An. funestus are the most prevalent and most involved in malaria transmission and are therefore, considered the main vectors of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa4,5,6. Considered for a long time as highly anthropo...
