Malaria leads in global rates of mortality and morbidity majorly borne by children aged below five years and primigravida women in developing countries. According to WHO, the cases of malaria infections in 2014 declined, ...

Background: Due to the difficulty in implementing microscopy-based definitive diagnosis of malaria especially in resource-poor areas, rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kits as alternatives have been developed by different ...

Background: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the first-line tools for malaria prevention and control in Africa. Vector resistance to insecticides has been extensively studied, ...

Background: Malaria continues to be a major public health concern despite the concerted efforts to eliminate it. Antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) antigens are involved in prevention of infection and ...

Background: Malaria is a great public health burden and Africa suffers the largest share of malaria-attributed deaths. Despite control efforts targeting indoor malaria transmission, such as insecticide-treated bed nets ...

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine levels of Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia in children and relationship between IgG responses against the parasite and nutritional status of children. Study Design: Cross ...

Background: Microscopy is the gold standard method currently acceptable in diagnosis of malaria in a clinical setting but is subject to diagnostic bias as it cannot detect malaria parasites as they are very low or absent ...

Background: Malaria causes the greatest public health burden in sub-Saharan Africa where high mortality occurs mainly in children under 5 years of age. Traditionally, malaria has been reported mainly in the lowlands ...

Insecticide treated nets (ITNs) have become the preferred vector control tool for malaria. Studies indicate that even after universal net distribution, primary school children were significantly less likely to use ITNs ...
