Indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on malaria intervention coverage, morbidity, and mortality in Africa: a geospatial modelling analysis

Daniel J. Weiss et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of disruptions to malaria control on malaria incidence and mortality in Africa. Findings show that reductions in access to effective antimalarial drug treatment and insecticide-treated net coverage could lead to increased malaria burden, potentially doubling malaria mortality in 2020.

Fighting COVID-19 at the Expense of Malaria in Africa: The Consequences and Policy Options

Abdullahi Tunde Aborode et al.

Summary: Malaria and COVID-19 are both major global health issues, but the COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges to the control and management of malaria, especially in low-income countries. Access to healthcare has been limited during the pandemic, and malaria interventions have been suspended, which may further exacerbate the burden of malaria.

Malaria micro-stratification using routine surveillance data in Western Kenya

Victor A. Alegana et al.

Summary: Spatial-statistical techniques were used to analyze malaria test positivity rate among patients in health facilities in Western Kenya. The study found significant heterogeneities in malaria risk at micro-level, indicating the need for tailored and personalized control measures in different sub-regions. Further research should focus on relating these heterogeneities to community-level prevalence to enhance malaria control activities at sub-national levels.

Evaluation of different deployment strategies for larviciding to control malaria: a simulation study

Manuela Runge et al.

Summary: The study used a malaria transmission model to simulate different larviciding strategies impact on host-seeking mosquito densities, EIR, and malaria prevalence. Larviciding was found to have a significant impact on reducing mosquito densities and EIR, especially in low and seasonal transmission settings.

Malaria risk factors in northern Namibia: The importance of occupation, age and mobility in characterizing high-risk populations

Jennifer L. Smith et al.

Summary: This study found that individuals at higher risk of malaria were cattle herders, police or security personnel, and retirees/unemployed persons. Children and self-identified students were also at higher risk. Factors such as housing construction and outdoor behaviors at night were identified as risk factors, while malaria preventive activities like using insecticide treated nets and indoor residual spraying were protective.
