This review has identified that knowledge about malaria vaccines is not widespread throughout Africa. Vaccine awareness was slightly lower than vaccine acceptance; however, people may have been reluctant to accept the newly developed malaria vaccines because of generalized vaccine hesitancy in some parts ...

? 2023 Elsevier LtdMalaria 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 ...
malaria transmission as in much of Central and East Africa25. In these settings, the ACT dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) has emerged as an excellent candidate for use as IPT in children26, including as perennial malaria chemoprevention in areas with year-round malaria transmission27. IPT during...
Increased global investments for malaria control led to the increase in coverage of ITNs and IRS across sub-Saharan Africa between 2000 and 2015 [2]. This increase is reported to have contributed to a 37% decline in overall malaria incidence as well as a 60% reduction in malaria mortality ...
The next step will be to map parasite and vector resistance in all health districts to improve the targeting of control interventions. The IRS intervention was initially planned to be performed in the 11 health districts with the highest malaria incidence. However, due to insufficient financial ...
Despite global efforts to reduce and eventually interrupt malaria transmission, the disease remains a pressing public health problem, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This study presents a detailed spatio-temporal analysis of malaria transmission in Rwa
The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) has protected millions of people from malaria since 2005, through malaria prevention and vector control efforts. Between 2017 and 2023, the PMI VectorLink Projectworked across25 countriesin sub-Saharan Africa as well as Cambodia and Colombia, to hel...

For these reasons, prevalence information from national health surveys has traditionally been the primary source of data for mapping malaria risk in sub-Saharan Africa3,5,15,16. Kang et al.5 used a Bayesian hierarchical model to map prevalence in Madagascar in 2011, 2013 and 2016 using ...
