Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are widespread, with Ascaris lumbricoides infecting millions globally. Malaria and STH co-infections are common in co-endemic regions. Artemisinin derivatives (ARTs)-artesunate, artemether, and dihydroartemisinin-are standard malaria treatments and are also known to influence the energy metabolism of parasites, tumors, and immune cells.

Article Synopsis
- Malaria has surged in sub-Saharan Africa due to disruptions from the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to severe cases like cerebral malaria and acute kidney injury.
- A 22-year-old male from Chad, who presented with confusion and had a history of travel to an endemic area, was initially misdiagnosed but later confirmed to have malaria with severe symptoms.
- Successful treatment included intravenous artesunate and hemodialysis, and the patient was discharged after 20 days, highlighting the need for quick diagnosis and effective management of malaria complications.

This study evaluated the effects of vitamin C and artemether-lumefantrine (AL) on sickness behaviour and oxido-inflammatory response in chronically stressed mice infected with Plasmodium berghei. Sickness behaviour severity was examined with weight and assessment of mice behaviours. Results showed that stress increased parasitaemia in infected mice.

Malaria remains a significant global health challenge, particularly in endemic regions of Africa, with being the most virulent species. This case report details the presentation of a 24-year-old Caucasian woman who collapsed at a train station in the United Kingdom after experiencing a week of fever, malaise, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms. At emergency care, she was initially resuscitated with intravenous fluids and antipyretics.
