Hybrid models combining trend and seasonality components with machine learning algorithms provide accurate forecasting of malaria incidence
Forecasting malaria incidence is vital for effective resource allocation during malaria elimination. In this study, we highlight robust models for forecasting incidence using climatic and malaria data from Goa, India. Multi-collinearity and Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) were used to identify most important predictors of malaria transmission among 15 climatic variables. Three machine-learning models (Support vector machines, Random Forest, …
Spatio-temporal trends of insecticide resistance in Indian malaria vectors (2000–2024)
Insecticide resistance in malaria vectors poses a significant threat to the effectiveness of current vector control strategies. The prolonged use of insecticides in Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLIN), Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs), and Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) has led to the emergence of resistance among Anopheles mosquito population. This study aims to evaluate the spatial and temporal insecticide resistance trends against dichloro-di…
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…
Knowledge Attitude and Practices of Mitanin's (Community Health Workers) in Chhattisgarh
Background For the success of any program, its implementation plays a crucial role. Community health workers are of immense importance for malaria elimination from India. Objective This study was aimed to assess the knowledge gaps and the responsible factors for mitanins' knowledge on various aspects of and problems faced by mitanins during their work. Methods Structured interviewer-based questionnaire was used to collect the data, and ordinal re…
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…
Four decades of epidemiological data reveal trajectories towards malaria elimination in Kheda district (Gujarat), western part of India
Background Malaria is a main public health problem in India and was so particularly in the state of Gujarat in the western part of the country. This study assesses the effects of various interventions on malaria cases using data from the last 33 years (1987–2019). Methods Here we have analysed 33 years of malaria epidemiological data from a malaria clinic in Kheda district in Gujarat. The data were digitised yearly and monthly, age-wise and gende…
Mid-upper arm circumference in detection of weight-for-height Z -score below −3 in children aged 6–59 months
Objective To evaluate the predictive ability of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) for detecting severe wasting (weight-for-height Z -score (WHZ) Design Cross-sectional survey. Setting Rural Uttar Pradesh, India. Subjects Children ( n 18 456) for whom both WHZ ( n 18 463) and MUAC were available. Results The diagnostic test accuracy of MUAC for severe wasting was excellent (area under receiver-operating characteristic curve = 0·933). Across the l…
