Access to malaria diagnosis and treatment in Zambia in the context of scaling-up community case management
Community case management has been scaled up nationally in Zambia over the last decade. However, there is limited evidence on how this nationwide implementation has affected febrile patients’ access to malaria diagnosis and treatment in Zambia. This study analyzed four rounds of Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) data (2012–2021) to evaluate: 1) proportion of all-ages individuals with fever who sought treatment from a formal provider, 2) proportion o…
Adapting reactive case detection strategies for high-risk populations to increase malaria infection detection in Aceh Province, Indonesia
Reactive case detection (RACD), or testing and treatment of close contacts of recent malaria cases, is widely used in settings nearing malaria elimination, but often results in very low yield and uncertain impact. In areas where the primary vector exposure occurs outside the home, adapting RACD to target high-risk populations with specific exposure profiles may increase yield, surveillance value, and impact on treatment rates and transmission. We…
Targeting malaria in high-risk populations in low endemic regions in northern Namibia
BACKGROUND: Agricultural worksites are rarely targeted by malaria control programmes, yet may play a role in maintaining local transmission due to workers' high mobility, low intervention coverage and occupational exposures. METHODS: A quasi-experimental controlled intervention study was carried out in farming and cattle herding populations in northern Namibia to evaluate the impact of a targeted malaria intervention package. Eight health facilit…
Impact of proactive malaria community case management (proCCM) on parasite prevalence and incidence from 2021 to 2023
Ensuring prompt and effective case management of malaria remains an ongoing challenge in Zambia, where care is not sought for roughly 40% of febrile children under 5 years of age. To expand access, the Ministry of Health has scaled up routine malaria community case management (mCCM) for all ages over the past decade. As of 2018, nearly a quarter of children who received antimalarials obtained them from a community health worker (CHW), but gaps in…
Feasibility and effectiveness of tailored interventions for two populations at high-risk of malaria in Senegal
Senegal has made significant progress in reducing the malaria burden over the last decade. However, malaria remains a major cause of morbidity in some regions and key challenges exist among high-risk populations who have high exposure to mosquitos, but low coverage and use of vector control measures and limited access to healthcare. Two identified high-risk populations are goldminers and talibés (Koranic school students). We conducted a controlle…
Forest-Going as a Risk Factor for Confirmed Malaria in Champasak Province, Lao PDR
Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) has made significant progress in reducing malaria in recent years. In the Greater Mekong Subregion, forest-going is often a risk factor contributing to continuing malaria transmission. This study assessed forest-going and other potential risk factors for malaria cases in Champasak Province, Lao PDR. Routine passive surveillance data from August 2017 to December 2018 were extracted from health facilities …
Assessing the acceptability and feasibility of reactive drug administration for malaria elimination in a Plasmodium vivax predominant setting
This study was approved by the Committee on Human Research at the University of California San Francisco (19-28,060) and the local Ethics Committee for Research in Human Subjects at Tak Provincial Health office (009/63) and Kanchanaburi Provincial health office (Kor Chor 0032.002/2185). Local authorities and health officers in the provinces, districts, and villages agreed upon and coordinated the implementation of the study. All methods in this s…
The effect of malaria control on Plasmodium falciparum in Africa between 2000 and 2015
Since the year 2000, a concerted campaign against malaria has led to unprecedented levels of intervention coverage across sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the effect of this control effort is vital to inform future control planning. However, the effect of malaria interventions across the varied epidemiological settings of Africa remains poorly understood owing to the absence of reliable surveillance data and the simplistic approaches underlying …

Effects of the 1997–1998 El Niño Episode on Community Rates of Diarrhea
Objectives. To improve our understanding of climate variability and diarrheal disease at the community level and inform predictions for future climate change scenarios, we examined whether the El Niño climate pattern is associated with increased rates of diarrhea among Peruvian children. Methods. We analyzed daily surveillance data for 367 children aged 0 to 12 years from 2 cohorts in a peri-urban shantytown in Lima, Peru, 1995 through 1998. We s…
Evidence that parent‐of‐origin affects birth‐weight reductions at high altitude
Hypoxia exerts a profound depressant effect on fetal growth, lowering birth weight, and raising mortality risk. Multigenerational high‐altitude populations are relatively protected from this birth‐weight decline, leading us to hypothesize that genetic factors were involved. We asked if the amount of high‐ versus low‐altitude ancestry influenced birth weight at high altitude and, specifically, whether such influences were affected by parent‐of‐ori…
