This passive case detection forms the foundation of malaria surveillance [...] approach will help Rwanda malaria control program to improve the deployment of interventions, and ultimately sustain the gains in malaria declines towards the achievement of malaria elimination in Rwanda.

Model-based malaria surveillance that incorporates climate effects is recognised as an adaptation strategy to address the impact of climate variability on malaria outbreaks. Climate is one of the drivers [...] cannot identify causal relations or account for non-linear interactions of malaria drivers. The non-stationarity of the malaria data and the varying impact of predictors across seasons suggested that f [...] understanding of the impact of climate change on the malaria burden by developing...

Malaria remains a public health problem in Mozambique, with more than 10 million cases confirmed in 2020 ( WHO Malaria Report 2020 ). The Mozambique National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) leads the fight [...] fight against malaria in the country through the development and implementation of National Strategic Plans (NSP). The NSP defines the NMCP strategies for fighting malaria including the interventions selected [...] reviewed i.e. during the Malaria Program Review (MPR). NSPs form the base...

Despite the massive implementation of control interventions, malaria still causes over 200 million clinical cases and half a million [...] million deaths annually. The widespread prevalence of malaria in endemic regions is maintained by a complex yet highly efficient transmission cycle between the human host and mosquito vector.

MalCommit - Understanding Sexual Commitment and Early Differentiation of Malaria Transmission Stages (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/en/projects/project-detail/project/malcommit-understanding-sexual-commitment-and-early-differentiation-of-malaria-transmission-stages
The project aims to understand the processes responsible for the differentiation of asexual malaria blood stage parasites into sexual forms. The anticipated results may open up new avenues for the development
