The stochastic permanence of malaria, and the existence of a stationary distribution for a class of malaria models [PDF]

, 2018
This paper investigates the stochastic permanence of malaria and the existence of a stationary distribution for the stochastic process describing the disease dynamics over sufficiently longtime. The malaria system is highly random with fluctuations from the disease transmission and natural deathrates, which are expressed as independent white noise ...

The stochastic extinction and stability conditions for a class of malaria epidemic models [PDF]

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019, 16(5): 3771-3806, 2019
The stochastic extinction and stability in the mean of a family of SEIRS malaria models with a general nonlinear incidence rate is presented. The dynamics is driven by independent white noise processes from the disease transmission and natural death rates. The basic reproduction number $R^{*}_{0}$, the expected survival probability of the plasmodium $E(

Viewpoint: Evaluating the impact of malaria control efforts on mortality in sub-Saharan Africa

, 2007
OBJECTIVE To describe an approach for evaluating the impact of malaria control efforts on malaria-associated mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, where disease-specific mortality trends usually cannot be measured directly and most malaria deaths occur among ...

Rational use of antibiotics by community health workers and caregivers for children with suspected pneumonia in Zambia: a cross-sectional mixed methods study

BMC Public Health, 2016
Background Antibiotic resistance is an issue of growing global concern. One key strategy to minimise further development of resistance is the rational use of antibiotics, by providers and patients alike. Through integrated community case management (iCCM)

Malaria-filaria coinfection in mice makes malarial disease more severe unless filarial infection achieves patency [PDF]

, 2005
Coinfections are common in natural populations, and the literature suggests that helminth coinfection readily affects how the immune system manages malaria.

Evidence of decline of malaria in the general hospital of Libreville, Gabon from 2000 to 2008. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Substantial decline in malaria transmission, morbidity and mortality has been reported in several countries where new malaria control strategies have been implemented.

The acceptability of mass administrations of anti-malarial drugs as part of targeted malaria elimination in villages along the Thai–Myanmar border

Malaria Journal, 2016
Background A targeted malaria elimination project, including mass drug administrations (MDA) of dihydroartemisinin/piperaquine plus a single low dose primaquine is underway in villages along the Thailand Myanmar border.

One-arm safety intervention study on community case management of chest indrawing pneumonia in children in Nigeria – a study protocol

Global Health Action, 2020
Current recommendations within integrated community case management (iCCM) programmes advise community health workers (CHWs) to refer cases of chest indrawing pneumonia to health facilities for treatment, but many children die due to delays or non ...

Deep unsupervised learning for Microscopy-Based Malaria detection [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite, kills over 1 million people globally each year. People, if left untreated, may develop severe complications, leading to death. Effective and accurate diagnosis is important for the management and control of malaria.
