Background: Even though several measures have been taken to eliminate malaria, its burden remains persistently high in Sub-Saharan Africa. More than 125 million pregnant women are at risk of getting malaria per year. There is a scarcity of community based evidence on malaria prevalence among pregnant women and associated factors in Northwest Ethiopia.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates mixed-species malaria infections in children in the Lake Victoria region of Kenya over multiple years, revealing a high prevalence of both single and co-infections.
- Results show that while Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) was the dominant species, significant rates of co-infections with P. malariae (Pm) and P. ovale (Po) were found, affecting clinical outcomes.
- The findings suggest that mixed infections may alter the manifestation of malaria, leading to decreased fever but increased risks of splenomegaly and anemia, highlighting the need for better diagnostic approaches.

Sensitive and accurate malaria diagnosis is required for case management to accelerate control efforts. Diagnosis is particularly challenging where multiple Plasmodium species are endemic, and where P. falciparum hrp2/3 deletions are frequent.

March 2024
Cheikh Anta Diop University, Dakar, Senegal.
Background: In Chad, malaria remains a significant public health concern, particularly among nomadic populations. Geographical factors and the mobility of human populations have shown to be associated with the diversity of Plasmodium species. The study aims to describe the malaria prevalence among nomadic children and to investigate its associated factors.

Parasit Vectors
March 2024
Entomology Division, Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI), Plot 51-59, P.O. Box 49, Entebbe, Uganda.
Background: Anopheles gambiae continues to be widespread and an important malaria vector species complex in Uganda. New approaches to malaria vector control are being explored including population suppression through swarm reductions and genetic modification involving gene drives. Designing and evaluating these new interventions require good understanding of the biology of the target vectors.
