Asymptomatic Malaria—A Missed Opportunity in the Planned 2030 Malaria Elimination Programme in Ethiopia
Abstract: Background: Malaria intervention in Ethiopia has been strengthened significantly in the past decade with significant reduction in incidence and prevalence. However, continuous surveillance on malaria disease incidence was suggested for effective control and elimination. In difference to this suggestion, malaria elimination programme in the country is missing asymptomatic malaria as a prime target. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine prevalence of asymptomatic malaria and associated factors in …

Trends of Antimalarial Resistance in Ethiopia and its Challenge on Malaria Control Program
Abstract: Antimalarial drugs resistance is one of the major obstacles for malaria control and curtails the life-span of several drugs. Resistance to well tolerated and effective antimalarial drugs such chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) has forced the switch of national policies to artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for the treatment of falciparum malaria. The emergence of less sensitive clones of Plasmodium falciparum to the ACT drugs, shortly after its deployment, has posed a …

A Step towards Malaria Vaccine DBP Engagement with DARC of Erythrocyte
Abstract: Plasmodium vivax is causative agent of malaria. In Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein (DBP) is most ligand for merozoite invasion of human erythrocyte surface by DARC. Thus, it is most suitable protein for development of vaccine. Initial infection can stop threw malaria vaccine DBP has great role of a family of related proteins found in different malaria species that are found in host cell invasion. There is only reason of …

Examining the Relationship Between Academic Stress, Maladaptive Perfectionism and Trauma-Related Responses Among University Students
Abstract: Academic stress is a significant concern among university students, frequently contributing to maladaptive perfectionism and trauma-like responses. While perfectionism can enhance performance, its maladaptive variant may be exacerbated by academic stress which can induce trauma-like responses. This study investigates the correlation between academic stress, maladaptive perfectionism and trauma-like responses. Validated self-report measures were used in a quantitative, correlational study involving 101 university students. Linear regression analysis and Kendall’s Tau-B correlation …

Nanoparticle-Based Early Diagnostic Tools for Tuberculosis and Malaria in Rural India
Abstract: Malaria and Tuberculosis continue to be two major public health challenges in rural India. The interplay between an inefficient health care system, late diagnosis, and under-identification of cases contributes to the high morbidity and mortality associated with TB and Malaria. Conventional methods, such as sputum microscopy for TB, microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria, have a higher benchmark of sensitivity that requires a certain amount of time, skilled …

Exploring Malaria Fever (Vishama Jwara) Through an Ayurvedic Lens: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Malaria fever, known as Vishama Jwara in Ayurveda, is a significant global health challenge caused by the Plasmodium species transmitted via Anopheles mosquitoes. While conventional medicine has advanced in diagnosing and treating malaria, exploring it through the Ayurvedic perspective offers valuable insights into its holistic understanding and management. Ayurveda describes Vishama Jwara as a fever with irregular patterns, aligning with the cyclical febrile episodes seen in malaria. This review delves …

Malaria in Indian Perspective: A Review
Abstract: Malaria is in its pre-elimination stage in India. It is particularly widespread in low-income rural areas of eastern and northeastern states. In this scenario, community-based strategies are important for malaria control. In order to intensify elimination activities, we need to have a better awareness of malaria in the rural areas. Though there are facilities available in the urban population, due to unhygienic surroundings of slum areas, increase in the waste …

Quinine: Past, Present, and Future Perspective in Malaria and Autoimmune Disorder
Abstract: Quinine, a natural alkaloid extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree, has traditionally played a key role in treating malaria, a disease caused by parasites of the Plasmodium genus. Since its discovery in the 17th century, quinine has evolved from a rudimentary treatment to an essential component of modern antimalarial therapies. This article explores the historical use of quinine in the fight against malaria, its role in current treatment …

Elastomeric Blends of Natural Rubber and the Resin Exuded from Ailanthus malabaricum Tree
Abstract: AbstractElastomeric blends of natural rubber and exuded resin of Ailanthus malabaricum tree have been prepared from solution casting technique. Benzene was used as the common solvent for both the constituent polymers. Compared to the elasticity of natural rubber, the resin exhibits excellent elasticity. The combination of both the elastomers with different composition showed a considerable enhancement in elasticity of rubber. Universal testing machine was employed to study the tensile properties …

Analysis and Application of Mathematical Modeling in Malaria Disease Control
Abstract: In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to analyze malaria transmission dynamics, as malaria is an infectious disease caused by the spread of progenitor parasites to humans through the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. Mathematical models have long served as a framework for understanding and managing the impact of malaria, which has affected populations for over a century. Our model incorporates infected individuals who may recover and later …

Investigating mosquito innate immune defence mechanism towards malaria vaccine development
Abstract: Mosquito-borne diseases weigh heavily on public health across the globe. The mosquito’s innate immune system certainly decides whether malaria parasites survive inside the vector, and that sighted it as a logical place to discover new vaccine ideas. In this review, we examine how Anopheles mosquitoes defend themselves against Plasmodium parasites and how those defenses could be turned into tools for malaria control. We focus on three layers of immunity: antimicrobial …
