- Malaria - World Health Organization (WHO)
Malaria elimination is defined as the interruption of local transmission of a specified malaria parasite species in a defined geographical area as a result of deliberate activities Continued measures to prevent re-establishment of transmission are required
- Malaria - World Health Organization (WHO)
Malaria is a treatable disease Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are the most effective antimalarial medicines available today and the mainstay of recommended treatment for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the deadliest malaria parasite globally
- Malaria - World Health Organization (WHO)
The best available treatment, particularly for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, is artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) Antimalarial medicines can also be used to prevent malaria For travellers, malaria can be prevented through chemoprophylaxis, which suppresses the blood stage of malaria infections, thereby preventing malaria disease
- Malaria - World Health Organization (WHO)
Malaria is a parasitic disease caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium Humans become infected with malaria through the bite of a female mosquito belonging to the genus Anopheles Four Plasmodium spp cause malaria in human beings, including P falciparum, P vivax, P ovale and P malariae
- Malaria - World Health Organization (WHO)
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites that are spread to people through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquito vectors Of the 5 parasite species that cause malaria in humans, P falciparum is the most deadly The first symptoms of malaria – fever, headache, and chills – usually appear 10–15 days after the infective mosquito bite
- Paludismo - World Health Organization (WHO)
El paludismo (o malaria) es una enfermedad potencialmente letal transmitida a los humanos por algunos tipos de mosquitos Se da sobre todo en países tropicales Se trata de una enfermedad prevenible y curable La infección es causada por un parásito y no se transmite de persona a persona Los síntomas pueden ser leves o potencialmente letales
- World malaria report 2020 - World Health Organization (WHO)
The 2020 edition of the World malaria report takes a look back at key events and milestones that helped shape the global response to the disease over the last 2 decades – a period of unprecedented success in malaria control that saw 1 5 billion cases and 7 6 million deaths averted
- World malaria report 2023 - World Health Organization (WHO)
The 2023 World malaria report delves into the nexus between climate change and malaria Changes in temperature, humidity and rainfall can influence the behaviour and survival of the malaria-carrying Anopheles mosquito Extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and flooding, can also directly impact transmission and disease burden
