Understanding imported malaria in western Nepal
Imported malaria has emerged as a key challenge for malaria elimination efforts in Nepal, particularly in border regions with high labor migration to malaria-endemic areas. Identifying the geographic origin and demographic characteristics of imported cases is essential to inform targeted interventions and prevent local transmission. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Narainapur Rural Municipality, Banke District, from Novemb…
Impact of mass drug administration with Ivermectin, Diethylcarbamazine, and Albendazole in elimination of lymphatic filariasis in five districts of Nepal
Nepal aims to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF) by 2030. Mass drug administration (MDA) has ceased in 53 of the 64 endemic districts. Following failure to pass the pre-Transmission Assessment Survey of antigenemia prevalence, five districts completed two rounds of MDA using a three-drug regimen (Ivermectin, Diethylcarbamazine, and Albendazole; IDA) and achieved over 65% coverage of the total population in 2023 and 2024. An Epidemiological Monit…
Retrospective analysis of dengue-related fatalities in Nepal, 2022
Dengue is a mosquito-borne acute febrile illness, also known as break bone fever, and is a major public health problem in the tropics and subtropics worldwide. Understanding the factors that contribute to dengue-related mortalities is crucial for decision-making and implementing effective strategies for prompt patient care. This retrospective analysis aimed to understand the clinical characteristics as well as associated infections and co-morbidi…
Malaria reporting timeliness analysis and factors associated with delayed notification, 2018–2022, Nepal
In order to monitor public health trends and identify disease outbreaks early, efficient and reliable notification and surveillance systems are essential. Nepal uses a 1-3-7 malaria surveillance approach. The Short Message System (SMS) -based system for timely notification has been established. However, knowledge gaps exist regarding the timeliness of notification, treatment initiation, and case-based investigations. Hence, this study identifies …
