 Malaria continues to be a major health problem, including in sub-Saharan Africa, where children under the age of five are most affected. Despite decades of research and development, the treatment of pediatric malaria has continued to innovate, dramatically improving survival for infected children. This review article chronicles the progress over the past decade from the […]

 Malaria remains one of the greatest public health challenges on the planet. It’s a scourge for children – the World Health Organization estimates that almost half of global malaria deaths are children under the age of five. Advances in information technology coupled with big data potentially offer unprecedented opportunities to improve malaria surveillance and prevention,

 Today, malaria remains a significant public health problem in the tropical and subtropical parts of the world, and it continues to affect children greatly. Traditional malaria control components such as the use of insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying are our mainstay in preventing malaria. However, in the spirit of ‘African solutions to African

In endemic regions, malaria remains a significant cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality. Therefore, accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for ensuring prompt and effective treatment, which in turn helps reduce transmission. By facilitating early intervention, accurate diagnosis not only improves individual health outcomes but also contributes to broader community efforts to control the spread

 Although access to antimalarial treatment has improved, malaria remains a critical health challenge, especially in settings with high transmission. Infants, children, and pregnant women, because of their incompletely developed or immune-compromised status, remain at great risk for this disease. For about 75% of people worldwide who lack IRS protection, the standard of care for residential

 Malaria is still considered a major public health problem in general and in endemic areas (focal point of high transmission rate), especially in pediatrics (under five years old). Socioeconomic disparities enhanced this pediatric pathology, affecting negatively and severely health outcomes and perpetuating the vicious circle of poverty. In this article, the possible socioeconomic factors have

 However, malaria remains the disease with the largest burden of illness and death of all preventable causes of child illness today, especially in the sub-Saharan Africa region, where under-fives bear a disproportionate share of disease. Vaccines such as the RTS, and S/AS01 (AMAECHA; Mosquirix) have slightly lowered childhood infections, but additional strategies to add to

The vital role of community health workers (CHWs) in reducing the burden of malaria, especially in preventing and managing pediatric cases cannot be overstated. CHWs are a key entry point to a community, pushing the frontier beyond conventional healthcare facilities. They can promote services that reduce the burden of malaria alongside the barriers that hinder

 The impact of this disease remains significant. One of the largest public health problems worldwide that continues to have a tremendous burden on children in the developing world is malaria, a disease transmitted by a mosquito of the species Anopheles that affects about 3.4 billion people and claims the lives of 675,000 children each year

Malaria, a parasitic disease transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito, remains a significant public health concern, as half of the world’s population is at risk in endemic regions. Moreover, children continue to represent the majority of malaria-related deaths. Therefore, the development of effective vaccines could have a dramatic impact on malaria control and prevention, ultimately reducing
