Adherence to the Revised National Malaria Case Management Guidelines Among Healthcare Workers at Mzimba District Hospital in Northern Malawi

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.
The study suggests that there is poor adherence to the national malaria guidelines as evidenced by incorrect diagnoses, poor monitor of patients, lack of adequate health education and follow‐up appointments for the discharged children and their guardians due to a shortage of staff, lack of equipment and lack of commitment.

Bio-efficacy of Long Lasting Insecticidal Mosquito Nets (LLINs) on Malaria Vector Anopheles Mosquitoes in Malaria-Endemic Areas of Myanmar

, 2019
Abstract: Sixty used Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) from six malaria endemic areas of States and Regions of Myanmar were assessed for their bio-efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes. Total ten nets were collected from the randomly selected household of each area.

Evaluation of standard pyrethroid based LNs (MiraNet and MagNet) in experimental huts against pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae s.l. M'bé, Côte d'Ivoire: Potential for impact on vectorial capacity.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundThere is evidence from experimental hut and household studies that the entomological efficacy of long lasting pyrethroid treated nets (LLINs) is compromised in areas of pyrethroid resistance.

Insecticide-treated eave nets and window screens for malaria control in Chalinze district, Tanzania: a study protocol for a household randomised control trial

Trials, 2022
Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have contributed to the reduction of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania. However, they rely on daily user behaviour and high coverage which is difficult to maintain.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 1574-1602, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Mass distribution of free insecticide-treated nets do not interfere with continuous net distribution in Tanzania [PDF]

, 2014
To protect the most vulnerable groups from malaria (pregnant women and infants) the Tanzanian Government introduced a subsidy (voucher) scheme in 2004, on the basis of a public-private partnership.

Implementing a larviciding efficacy or effectiveness control intervention against malaria vectors: key parameters for success

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
During the last decade, scale-up of vector control tools such as long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) contributed to the reduction of malaria morbidity and mortality across the continent.

Developmental Toxicity Study for the Antimalarial Drug Combination Cabamiquine‐Pyronaridine Using a Translational Approach

Birth Defects Research, Volume 118, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The safety of pharmacological treatments during pregnancy is a significant concern, as many medications lack comprehensive reproductive safety data. This creates gaps in therapeutic options for pregnant women, particularly malaria, which poses serious risks to maternal and fetal health.

Increased risks of malaria due to limited residual life of insecticide and outdoor biting versus protection by combined use of nets and indoor residual spraying on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Malaria is endemic on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, with year-round transmission. In 2004 an intensive malaria control strategy primarily based on indoor residual spraying (IRS) was launched.

Physical durability: are bed nets getting any stronger?

Malaria Journal
Background For at least a decade, concerns have been raised about the physical durability of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and their ability to remain in good condition for at least three years.
