Article Synopsis
- - Pregnant women in southern Venezuela are at a high risk for malaria infections, particularly impacted by the low endemicity of both *Plasmodium falciparum* and *Plasmodium vivax*, but recent studies on malaria in pregnancy (MiP) are lacking in this region.
- - A study analyzing 52 pregnant women at a hospital showed that 71% were infected with *P. vivax*, with most infections occurring in the third trimester; complications were common, including severe anemia and fetal deaths.
- - The findings highlight the need for routine malaria testing and preventive measures, like distributing insecticide-treated mosquito nets, to improve maternal and fetal health in these vulnerable populations.
