India accounts for 2/3rd confirmed cases of malaria reported in South-East Asia region in the world. Orissa accounted 130 malaria deaths in 2009, just ranked below Meghalaya. Angul district of Orissa has 3.09% of the state population. The ST population is 132,994 lakhs in the districts which is 11.66% of the district population. It has 87% of Pf prevalence and Pallalhada is one of the Blocks known for high Pf prevalence area. To access the malaria situation and its causes, a study was conducted in Bandhabhuin G.P. of Plallalhada Block. This paper presented the Malaria situation at Jamardihi PHC (New) area only. Total 120 Households were selected as sample (60 Tribal and 60 Non tribal). Tools like Interview schedule and FGD were properly used. It was found that each unit has experienced Malaria episodes. Out of 120 households 13 Households had malaria cases at the time of survey. Mainly women and children are more vulnerable to malaria. People used to take treatment from both traditional methods as well as from hospital/PHC. It needs to strengthen the community process like Gaon Kalyana Samiti to fight against the fatal disease successfully.

Allied prisoners of war (POWs) working on the Imperial Japanese Army's railroad from Thailand to Burma during 1943-1945 devised a blood transfusion service to rescue severely ill fellow prisoners who were otherwise unlikely to survive the war. Extant transfusion records (1,251 recipients, 1,189 donors) in ledger books held by the United Kingdom National Archives at Kew were accessed and analyzed. Survival to the end of the war in 1945 was determined from Commonwealth War Graves Commission records.

On 12 January 2024, Cabo Verde was officially certified by the WHO as a malaria-free country after six consecutive years without local transmission. This study analysed the malaria history of Cabo Verde from 1953 to certification in 2024, highlighted the valuable lessons learned, and discussed challenges for prevention reintroduction. Malaria data from the last 35 years (1988-2022) were analysed using descriptive analyses, and cases were mapped using the USGS National Map Viewer.

Rapidly identifying Anopheles-carrying malaria parasites is crucial for imported malaria prevention. However, suitable methods still lack quick detection in limited-resource situations. In this study, disc microfluidic isothermal amplification integrating loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and microfluidic chip technology were applied to develop rapid and precise detection with low resource requirements.

Background: Ethiopia has been progressing very well in controlling malaria in the past few years. However, shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic, an unpredictable malaria resurgence was observed in almost all malaria-endemic areas of the country, although the exact cause of which has not yet been identified. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate malaria burden and associated risk factors in one of the endemic zones of Ethiopia.

Background: Caregivers of young children may have been particularly vulnerable to mental health challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic due to its negative impacts on their housing, finances, and childcare demands. This study explored the associations between COVID-19-related experiences and symptoms of depression and anxiety among Ugandan caregivers.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 100 Ugandan caregivers of young children aged 6-59 months with uncomplicated malaria and iron deficiency (N = 85) and without malaria or anemia (N = 15) who were enrolled in the Optimizing Iron Status in Malaria-Endemic Areas (OptiM) study.
