Model-guided geospatial surveillance system for antimalarial drug resistance
Disease surveillance activities are usually resource-constrained and should be optimised to generate the most informative scientific findings, and to make the best use of time, finances, and personnel. India has a high population density, diverse geography and climatic conditions, and difficult terrain. With respect to malaria, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax are endemic, with substantial variability of transmission across the country.…
Malaria and missed school days
Background: Malaria continues to pose a significant global health challenge, disproportionately affecting children. While its effects on physical health are well-documented, the impact on education, particularly school absenteeism, remains less understood. This study aimed to explore the influence of malaria on school absenteeism in Odisha, India. Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted in four southern districts of Odisha from September 202…
Spatiotemporal epidemiology and clinical manifestations of two decades of scrub typhus in India
Global insights can accelerate India’s journey towards the elimination of lymphatic filariasis as a public health problem
India has set an ambitious target to achieve the elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) as a public health problem by 2027, 3 years ahead of the global target. Achieving this goal demands accelerated progress and evidence-based strategies. This review synthesises insights from the policies and interventions of 21 countries that achieved LF elimination in the past decade (2015–2024). Key lessons for India include integrated disease management, t…
The disparities in funding of wars versus elimination of malaria
Imbalance in funding priorities: Global military spending surpassed $2 trillion in 2022, with significant investments in advanced weaponry and nuclear capabilities. This contrasts sharply with the
Vivax malaria
Plasmodium vivax is geographically the most widely dispersed human malaria parasite species. It has shown resilience and a great deal of adaptability. Genomic studies suggest that P. vivax originated from Asia or Africa and moved to the rest of the world. Although P. vivax is evolutionarily an older species than Plasmodium falciparum , its biology, transmission, pathology, and control still require better elucidation. P. vivax poses problems for …

Linkages between malaria and malnutrition in co-endemic regions of India
INTRODUCTION: Malaria and malnutrition are key public health challenges in India. However, the relationship between them is poorly understood. Here, we aimed to elucidate the potential interactions between the two health conditions by identifying the areas of their spatial overlap. METHODS: We have analysed the district-wise undernutrition and malaria data of 638 districts of India across 28 states and 8 union territories. Data on malnutrition pa…
Climate zones are a key component of the heterogeneous presentation of malaria and should be added as a malariometric for the planning of malaria elimination
Malaria is a climate-sensitive disease and different climatic conditions affect the propagation of malaria vectors thereby influencing malaria incidence. The present study was undertaken to delineate malaria distribution across different climate types and sub-types in India and assess its significance as a malariometric in the ongoing elimination activities. All Indian districts were classified into three major climatic zones (Tropical, Temperate…
Tracking district-level performance in the context of achieving zero indigenous case status by 2027
India has committed to zero indigenous malaria cases by 2027 and elimination by 2030. Of 28 states and 8 union territories of India, eleven states were targeted to reach the elimination phase by 2020. However, state-level epidemiology indicates that several states of India may not be on the optimum track, and few goals set in National Framework for Malaria Elimination (NFME) for 2020 remain to be addressed. Therefore, tracking the current progres…
Vaccination coverage and breakthrough infections of Covid-19 during the second wave among staff of selected medical institutions in India
India experienced the second wave of SARS-CoV-2 infection from April 3 to June 10, 2021. During the second wave, Delta variant B.1617.2 emerged as the predominant strain, spiking cases from 12.5 million to 29.3 million (cumulative) by the end of the surge in India. Vaccines against COVID-19 are a potent tool to control and end the pandemic in addition to other control measures. India rolled out its vaccination programme on January 16, 2021, initi…
What India can learn from globally successful malaria elimination programmes
India is targeting malaria elimination by 2030. Understanding and adopting the strategies employed by countries that have successfully eliminated malaria can serve as a crucial thrust in this direction for a geographically diverse country like India. This analysis is based on extensive literature search on malaria elimination policies, strategies and programmes adopted by nine countries (China, El Salvador, Algeria, Argentina, Uzbekistan, Paragua…
Should India be considering deployment of the first malaria vaccine RTS,S/AS01
India may need an additional metric to assess the endemicity of malaria in low surveillance districts
India’s National Framework for malaria elimination is essentially dependent on Annual Parasite Incidence (API). API is the primary criterion for classifying states and districts into different categories: intensified control, pre-elimination, elimination, prevention and re-establishment of malaria. However, API’s validity is critically dependent on multiple factors, one such important factor is Annual Blood Examination Rate (ABER) and is often co…
Relapses of Plasmodium vivax malaria threaten disease elimination
Millions suffer from the scourge of malaria across the world, reflected by the estimated 228 million cases and 0.4 million deaths it caused in 2018, as reported in the World Malaria Report 2019. India and African nations shouldered 85% of the world’s malaria burden in 2018. The South-East Asia Region recorded a 70% decrease in malaria incidence from 2010 (17 cases/1000 population) to 2018 (5 cases/1000 population). Despite the absolute reduction …
For malaria elimination India needs a platform for data integration
box Despite a substantial decline in global burden of malaria, it remains one of the most significant public health problems in Africa and South Asia. Malaria incidence has declined globally between 2010 and 2018 from 71 to 57 cases per 1000 population at risk but the pace of reduction has slowed between 2014 to 2018. An estimated ~228 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide in 2018 with WHO South East Asia region contributing 3.4% of the bur…
