In 2018 and 2019, the Namibia National Vector-borne Diseases Control Program (NVDCP) implemented baseline entomological surveillance based on a question-based approach outlined in the Entomological Surveillance Planning Tool (ESPT). In the present study, we report on the findings of the ESPT-based...
There is limited evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of RACD in interrupting malaria transmission; however, the strategy has been widely adopted in low-endemic settings in the Asia Pacific region and several countries in Africa, including Eswatini, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, and Senegal [11...
In contrast, the south of the country is malaria free while the incidence of malaria in the central regions is low [13]. Overall, malaria incidence and mortality has been decreasing in Namibia, which is largely attributable to increased distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (...

Der Parasit Plasmodium falciparum galt bislang als einziger Malaria-Erreger in Afrika. Im Rahmen eines kollaborativen Projekts in Namibia und Botswana haben wir neue Forschungserkenntnisse gewonnen, die ein Vorkommen der Malaria-Erreger Plasmodium vivax und Plasmodium ovale in klinisch unauffälligen...
Uganda was also among the eight countries in Africa that registered increases in mortality rate of between 5 percent and 25 percent. The other countries are Angola, the DRC, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Namibia, Nigeria, and South Sudan. Parts of Uganda, for instance around Lake Kyoga in the cent...
In a study in Namibia, Tatem et al. integrated mobile phone data (which can serve as a proxy for human movement patterns) with case-based risk maps to predict hotspots of transmission in generally low-transmission settings [64]. Other work has sought to use a range of input metrics and ...
Travellers from or residents of malaria transmission areas in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, and the far northern KwaZulu-Natal and neighboring countries such as Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia who present with fever and "flu-like" illness must have an urgent blood test and malaria treated as ...
