Malaria information was collected through online systems in Baoying County from 2005 to 2014 and descriptive analysis was performed on the data. A total of 175 cases of malaria were reported in the years, with no report of death. During 2005-2008, vivax malaria cases constituted 86.4%（19/22） of all cases reported, and all infected locally with diease onset mainly occurred from May to November. During 2009-2014, falciparum malaria cases constituted 82.4%（126/153）, and all imported cases, which showed a trend of increase, from one case in 2007 to 22 in 2009. All the cases reported during 2010-2014 were imported cases. As to malaria control, there was an overall regular treatment rate of 100%, 195 patients had radical cure during the resting stage, and blood test was conducted in 52 827 fevered patients, resulting in a positive rate of 0.3%（149/52 827）.

Background: Informal Healthcare Providers (IHCPs), including Proprietary Patent Medicine Vendors (PPMVs), drug peddlers, traditional healers, and herbal drug sellers are often the first choice for malaria treatment, especially in urban slums. Unplanned urbanization significantly impacts malaria transmission by creating cities with inadequate safety nets and healthcare access, increasing reliance on IHCPs. While the World Health Organization recognizes IHCP's crucial role and emphasizes integrating them into formal healthcare for improved malaria care, they lack requisite training in malaria management and operate outside official regulations, raising concerns about the quality of care they provide.

Background: , a malaria mosquito originally from South Asia and the Middle East, has been expanding across both Asia and Africa in recent decades. The invasion of this species into sub-Saharan Africa is of particular concern given its potential to increase malaria burden, especially in urban environments where thrives. Whilst surveillance of this vector in Africa has recently increased markedly there is a need to review the existing methods of control so that we can stop, rather than simply monitor, its spread in Africa.
