Malaria is preventable, but the burden of disease remains high with over 249 million cases and 608,000 deaths reported in 2022. Historically, the most important protective interventions have been vector control and chemopreventive medicines with over 50

Anopheles stephensi, an Asian malaria vector, continues to expand across Africa. The vector is now firmly established in urban settings in the Horn of Africa. Its presence in areas where malaria resurged suggested a possible role in causing malaria outbreaks. Here, using a prospective case–contro...
the outbreak and then to obtain all approvals in order to deploy to the field, cases had largely already been brought under control. With malaria elimination on Thailand’s horizon, it is likely that malaria outbreaks in Southeast Asia will generally be easier to contain. However, there is a...
falciparum was responsible for 99% of the 445,000 malaria deaths in 2016, 70% of which occurred in children under 5 years old.3 Annual statistics are less meaningful when it comes to yellow fever, as it occurs in outbreaks.4 For the unvaccinated individual, the chance of dying from yellow...
[50]; however, non-immunes who carried out activities in or across the high-risk forest and border areas have been the subjects of large-scale seasonal outbreaks [92,102,103]. Imported infections are often the reason for frequent malaria clusters along international borders of Southeast Asian ...

In particular, for the case of Indonesia, Garg7demonstrated that one standard deviation decline in forest cover measured in each pixel, as unit of analysis, increases the likelihood of malaria outbreaks by 1.85 or 10 percentage points after controlling for other cofactors, such as migration, land...
irrigation projects led to increase in malaria transmission and subsequent outbreaks in 1977 [108,109]. The control programmes in Turkey could not foresee the impact of such development on malaria incidences and did not sufficiently plan to control such inclined transmission. Similarly, outbreaks occur...
