Rifkin SB, Muller F, Bichmann W. Primary health care: on measuring participation. A study in the African-Syrian Rift Valley showed a 95% reduction in female Anopheles sergentii populations, while completely eradicating males. Especially in children, the disease can worsen rapidly, causing coma and death. Assogba BS, Djogbenou L, Saizonou J, Diabate A, Dabire RK, Moiroux N, Gilles JRL, Makoutode M, Baldet T. Characterization of swarming and mating behaviour between Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles melas in a sympatry area of Benin. Lastly, only academic institutions and NGOs were included among the participating programmes. These spray treatments reduced mosquito (An. More than 70% of all malaria deaths occur in this age group [1]. Global technical strategy for malaria 20162030. Rifkin et al. Qualitative data was collected from key informant interviews and community-based focus group discussions. Thought leaders were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide (Additional file 1) designed to explore the role that community engagement has played across different health and development sectors, and to establish similarities and differences in approaches to community engagement practices. While malaria is The good news is that such expertise exists, as demonstrated in this paper. This evaluation process can be further strengthened by involving community stakeholders in the collection and analysis of data [25]. Glob Health Action. For instance, MDA with sulphadoxine pyrimethamine combined with IRS achieved high levels of malaria control during the Garki Project in Northern Nigeria in 1969 [51]. 2014. P. ovale is also less common and is also found mainly in SSA [5]. At least 10% of the total award will be subgranted to organizations that serve and are substantially governed by 2010;26:27983. Programmes from eight health and development sectors, including malaria, were identified for programmatic evaluation. Tusting LS, Ippolito MM, Willey BA, Kleinschmidt I, Dorsey G, Gosling RD, Lindsay SW. This in return reduces the survival of Anopheles mosquitoes that feed on an ivermectin-treated person after a single standard oral dose [53, 54]. 2010;9:109. Most programmes in this study proactively engage with communities and continuously adapt as needed. Conteh L, Sicuri E, Manzi F, Hutton G, Obonyo B, Tediosi F, et al. In Myanmar, expanding the remit of malaria-only CHWs to include a broader package of basic health care services has proven effective in sustaining community uptake of malaria services in low transmission areas of the country [14]. All authors read and approved the final manuscript. Data from demographic and health surveys as well as malaria indicator surveys conducted in 21 countries in SSA between 2008 and 2015 has shown that modern housing reduces malaria prevalence compared to traditional housing [45]. Social mobilization and community engagement central to the Ebola response in West Africa: lessons for future public health emergencies. As the decline of malaria has plateaued over the last 5 years, strengthening All reported studies/experiments with human or animal subjects performed by the authors have been previously published and complied with all applicable ethical standards (including the Helsinki declaration and its amendments, institutional/national research committee standards, and international/national/institutional guidelines, This article is part of the Topical Collection on Pediatric Global Health, National Library of Medicine Finally, the Peace Corps conducts community malaria trainings in each community with a Peace Corps Health Volunteer. 2016;15:523. Ogoma SB, Ngonyani H, Simfukwe ET, Mseka A, Moore J, Maia MF, Moore SJ, Lorenz LM. In fact, several of the organizations profiled here started with a specific health or development focus and expanded to other content areas after infrastructure was in place and the community was familiar with the work of the organization. The control of vector-borne diseases such as malaria represents one of the global public health challenges of the twenty-first century. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative. Author (s): Mark Gershman, Rhett Stoney (Yellow Fever) Holly Biggs, Kathrine Tan (Malaria) The following pages present country-specific information on yellow fever (YF) vaccine requirements and recommendations, and malaria transmission information and prevention recommendations. Third, is the importance of bidirectional communication. In fact, bidirectional learning was identified as a key component in interventions where population health and/or health behaviour improved [18]. Additionally, in recent targeted malaria elimination pilot studies in the Greater Mekong Sub-region, the health messaging, particularly on the role of asymptomatic infections, is reported as complex and difficult to communicate effectively [20, 21].

Stepped-wedge randomized cluster trials involving fifty-four health posts conducted in central Senegal from 2008 to 2010, in children aged 359months, showed that there was a reduction of 60% in the incidence of malaria cases confirmed by a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and a reduction of 69% in the number of treatments for malaria. Units closer to the level of implementation should be better equipped and empowered to lead community engagement efforts. New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Home. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Other protective mechanisms target high-risk groups such as pregnant women and young children. This series of case studies aims to capture the experience of community engagement across a range of health and development sectors to explore how malaria and other programmes use community engagement strategies to design, implement, monitor, and sustain interventions. This group also had less placental malaria and a reduced risk of moderate to severe anemia [73]. Each of these parameters is strongly influenced by the climate, local ecology, and behavior of both humans and vectors. results from a qualitative process evaluation in three countries. 2007. Childrens Nutritional Program of Haiti: Positive Deviate Hearth. Even with outdoor biting and transmission, there is evidence that a mosquito is likely to enter a house at some point during its life prior to delivering an infective bite [46]. These are especially important considerations for malaria elimination, as those considered to be the right community members will shift and evolve as transmission decreases and malaria increasingly affects different and heterogeneous groups and individuals. Ten programmes were included in the analysis: Ebola, HIV/Hepatitis C, Guinea worm, malaria, nutrition, and water, sanitation and hygiene. Affiliates. In malaria, the disjointed nature of hiring CHWs for short-term or seasonal intervention work may limit their effectiveness. 2023 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. Insecticide-treated mosquito net: a WHO position statement. Without exception, all participants in this study agreed that community engagement is vital for long-term success of any intervention or for uptake of new strategies to improve health. This intervention can be greatly used in the rural areas as cheap and simple materials can be used in making the screens, closing eaves, and other openings. White NJ, Pukrittayakamee S, Hien TT, Faiz MA, Mokuolu OA, Dondorp AM. World Health Organization, Malaria prevention works. statement and PLoS ONE. A recent Cochrane review reported that larviciding in Sri Lanka of abandoned mines, streams, and rice paddies reduced malaria incidence by almost 75% compared to controls [37]. For unstable malaria (EIR <1), in two RCTs, IRS reduced the incidence rate of all malaria infections; the PE was 31% in India and 88% in Pakistan. 2014. In order to deliver high-quality primary care, Wellbody ran community-based HIV, TB, maternal, and child health programmes. Methods cited to evaluate the community engagement process include process evaluations, FGDs, and KAP surveys. 2012. More cases of anemia about 19% (children aged 610years) were also found in houses that had no screening at all. 2014. Indoor residual spraying was the main strategy of the Global Malaria Eradication Campaign which resulted in the elimination of malaria from many countries and greatly reduced its burden in others [3]. BMJ Open. 2018;18:40619. The Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) are designed to block mosquitoes physically and has been treated with safe, residual insecticide for the purpose of killing and repelling mosquitoes which carry the malaria parasite, to be used by households as a measure to prevent mosquito bites, which are transmitters of the malaria parasite. Elements of effective community engagement: lessons from a targeted malaria elimination study in Lao PDR (Laos). Development of new vector control methods is significant for malaria elimination; however, there are several gaps in most of these methods especially on the reduction of disease burden, requiring further research. gambiae s.l. 2017. 26 Citations 34 Altmetric Metrics Abstract Background In light of increasing complexity of identifying and treating malaria cases in low transmission settings, operational solutions are needed to increase effective delivery of interventions. This study seeks to expand on CE approaches for malaria by looking to a variety of health and development programmes for lessons that can be applied to malaria elimination. During the dry season, the parasite prevalence was 10% in under-five children not using ITN and 4% in those using ITN [20]. The recommended repellent contains 20-35% percent N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET). Seven focus group discussions (FGDs) with 69 participants, 49 key informant (KI) interviews with programme staff, and 7 KI interviews with thought leaders were conducted between OctoberApril 2018. Insecticide resistance levels result in reduced efficacy in using ITNs as well as other vector control methods such as indoor residual spraying [32]. Finally, given the few number of cases in low malaria transmission settings, it is possible that communities no longer identify malaria as the greatest threat to well-beinga serious challenge to these lessons. 2013;7:8979. Steketee RW, Nahlen BL, Parise ME, Menendez C. The burden of malaria in pregnancy in malaria endemic countries. Draper AK, Hewitt G, Rifkin S. Chasing the dragon: developing indicators for the assessment of community participation in health programmes. The World Health Organization carries out a malaria control program on a global scale, focusing on local strengthening of primary health care, early diagnosis of the disease, timely treatment, and disease prevention. Symptoms of malaria include severe headache, nausea (vomiting), chills, and typical fever cycles. Incidence rate ratio in the under-five population rose from 0.77 in December 2014 (at the beginning of spraying) to 1.74 in June 2015 after spraying was ceased [34]. PLoS Med. 2010. There are some consistent community engagement practices that support a collaborative approach to community engagement and are worth noting by malaria elimination programmes. House improvement refers to the full screening or closing of openings such as windows, doors, and eaves or installation of ceilings. The development of the malaria vaccine has proven to reduce the disease burden in under-five children; however, more evidence is required on its efficacy. Huho B, Briet O, Seyoum A, Sikaala C, Bayoh N, Gimnig J, Okumu F, Diallo D, Abdulla S, Smith T, Killeen G. Consistently high estimates for the proportion of human exposure to malaria vector populations occurring indoors in rural Africa. Int Health. 1982;2010(71):11029. Similarly, to engage with more people, the majority of programmes suggested that the timing of programme activities should accommodate various work and holiday schedules. Mosquito larval source management for controlling malaria. One of the operational challenges, and the subject of ongoing research, is the development of long-lasting formulations or delivery systems to increase user acceptance and cost-effectiveness [39, 64, 66]. Cellpress. Rowland M, Durrani N, Kenward M, Mohammed N, Urahman H, Hewitt S. Control of malaria in Pakistan by applying deltamethrin insecticide to cattle: a community-randomised trial. Government Records Council. CHWs play an important role in community engagement and their presence was identified as necessary to gain community trust and acceptance. Wear long-sleeved clothing and long pants if you are outdoors at night. Interviews were conducted in-person when feasible, and by Skype or phone when travel by the research team was not feasible. [Village leaders are the] gatekeepers in Malawiyou must work with them to understand the cultural factors at play. Cochrane Libr. JAMA. Programmes also reported leveraging nurses, teachers, community health workers, and targeted peer groups to reach these groups extended networks. LUARCC. Organizations funded must address one or more of the following focus TREAT Asia, an organization focused on HIV and co-infections including Hepatitis C, reported that harnessing the anger at being marginalized based on health status was key to the success of their work. Third, is that in order for community engagement to be an iterative process that relies on early involvement, frequent feedback, and active participation from the community, malaria programmes will need to empower districts and communities to become involved in planning and executing community-based interventions. Similarly, like ITNs, insecticide resistance also poses a big threat in the use of IRS. To improve implementation, community engagement should be delivered and managed sub-nationally. Malar J. In order to tackle this problem, with support from PMI, FIDA is conducting community-level education activities focusing on the use of nets and early Use of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying has resulted a decline in the incidence and prevalence of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa. Consult a physician if you get sick. Regardless of the specific approach or activity, there is general consensus that collaborating with the community is essential, especially as a means to promote community ownership and sustainability of the health or development programme. 2018. https://www.devex.com/news/sponsored/opinion-civil-society-and-community-engagement-key-to-achieve-malaria-elimination-93801. The changing epidemiology of malaria elimination: new strategies for new challenges. Understanding the complex pathogenesis of malaria requires exploring mechanisms of parasite invasion and host immune response. Audio-recordings were not transcribed word-for-word. Priorities for broadening the malaria vector control tool kit. Chaccour CJ, Kobylinski KC, Bassat Q, Boussema T, Drakeley C, Alonso P, et al. Activities that involve everyone and do not have a political or religious agenda were deemed important in this setting; however, using religious leaders for messaging was cited as valuable in other contexts. 2017. Conducting effective behavior change communication to change peoples mindsets towards bed net usage is one strategy that can be employed. A multi-country analysis of observational data in SSA looking at associations between ITN household ownership and child mortality as well as parasitemia prevalence showed that ownership of at least one ITN was associated with a pooled relative reduction of mortality in under-five children of 23% and a pooled relative reduction in parasitemia prevalence in children of 24% [19]. Participants described CE as a learning process, and strongly advocated that the community engagement efforts be responsive to the changing perceptions and needs of the community. All successful elements of community engagement reported here are self-reported and the study team did not independently assess impact. This can occur in the form It caused a significant reduction in the female insemination rate [59]. Malar J. Finally, the Peace Corps conducts community malaria trainings in each community with a Peace Corps Health Volunteer. White M. Book Review: knowledge management lessons learned. Modern houses tend to be more protective against malaria than traditional houses made of natural materials that leave multiple gaps through which mosquitoes can enter [43], and in some settings, they offer protection equivalent to ITNs [39, 44]. Exploring the role of community engagement in improving the health of disadvantaged populations: a systematic review. 2011;10:225. WebBACKGROUND: Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) has become a critical intervention for malaria prevention and control. Killeen GF, Govella NJ, Lwetoijera DW, Okumu FO. In particular, malaria elimination settings may be hindered by a perception of no risk among populations where cases are few. This is a unidirectional process, delivering messaging after an intervention has been decided upon. Given this scenario, community engagement will take on added importance to make sure that communities themselves have the capacity and resources to lead sustainable, effective measures to reduce and eventually eliminate malaria transmission. funestus, primarily take blood meals from humans indoors (and then rest indoors), making them efficient malaria vectors. In 2015, approximately 106 million people were protected by IRS [1]. A household randomized, controlled trial of the efficacy of 0.03% transfluthrin coils alone and in combination with long-lasting insecticidal nets on the incidence of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria in Western Yunnan Province, China. Spatial repellents: from discovery and development to evidence-based validation. Spray an insecticide or repellent on clothing, as mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing. Recalculating the net use gap: a multi-country comparison of ITN use versus ITN access. Efforts should focus on correcting misconceptions about malaria transmission, prevention, and getting prompt diagnosis treatment once one is suspecting signs and symptoms of the disease. This can involve wearing long-sleeved clothing in the evenings and at night, when malaria mosquitoes are most active, or wearing insect repellent on exposed skin. LUARCC. There will be approximately $4,300,000 available in prevention assistance for each fiscal year 2024 and 2025. The major setback in malaria prevention and control is mainly to do with drug and insecticide resistance. Questionnaire and interviewer guide: thought leader interviews from different health and development sectors . The locations of mating swarms are stable over the seasons [56] and appear linked to swarm markers on the ground, such as wells, wood piles, or the limits between footpaths and grass [57, 58]. As a mechanism for representing collective stakeholder interests and showing neutrality, Belize Red Cross brought together groups of local residents (3040 people) to do mapping exercises around water sources. Community sensitization and decision-making for trial participation: a mixed-methods study from The Gambia. Thus, as one of the supplementary malaria control interventions, it helps to provide protection to malaria indoors. A pilot program of the vaccine in three countries in SSA (Malawi, Kenya, and Uganda) is currently underway, mobilized by the WHO [1]. CHW programmes) and processes (i.e. Strategic roles of behavior change communication in a changing malaria landscape. A major theme was prioritizing bi-directional interpersonal communication led by local community health workers. Accessed 13 Dec 2018. Gies S, Coulibaly SO, Ky C, Ouattara FT, Brabbin BJ, DAlessandro U. Pyrethroid resistance is the main issue that is at hand. Individuals can protect themselves against malaria by wearing protective clothing and using insect repellents and bed nets. Working with the Ministry of Health (MoH) was cited as critical by most programmes; however, it was also noted that MoH priorities can change and there are often competing demands for focus. Raouf S, Mpimbaza A, Kigozi R, Sserwanga A, Rubahika D, Katamba H, et al. 2017;7:e014216. The combination of several vector control interventions helps to optimize the efficacy, as the vector can be controlled in its various stages of life and there can be an increase in the cost-effectiveness of vector control [12, 71]. NJ Historic Trust. Government Records Council. PDI activity plays an essential role in malaria transmission. Most national malaria control programs have now adopted the universal coverage of ITN distribution, with mass distribution campaigns being conducted at intervals. Genetic modification of Anopheles mosquitoes, by making them unable to reproduce or genetically resistant to malaria followed by driving these to the population, has for many years been a topic of discussion though it looked impossible. In a separate study in Mali, ATSB treatment reduced densities of female and male An. Prompt treatment of malaria saves lives ! Applications of ATSB can reduce malaria vectorial capacity from relatively high to negligible levels which in turn results in reduced potential for malaria transmission to near zero levels [47]. The clinical manifestations of malaria vary with geography, epidemiology, immunity, and age. Cochrane Libr. WebCDC Yellow Book 2024. Diabat A, Tripet F. Targeting male mosquito mating behaviour for malaria control. WHO; 1980. In general, combined efforts are required from all the stakeholders including governments, NGOs, research institutions, and scientists to come up with better strategies to combat malaria. Housing, education, insecticide-treated nets, and nutrition were highlighted in the remaining studies as being protective against malaria independent of SEP, suggesting potential for mediation. The ATSB approach uses fruit or flower scent as an attractant, sugar solution as a feeding stimulant, and oral toxin to kill the mosquitoes [47, 48]. However, despite these limitations, study findings align with much of the literature on the topic of community engagement. However, the first step in achieving this shift is to work with local leaders to confirm that the programme priority is among the communitys main concerns. The other parasite species include P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. knowlesi. Coleman M, Hemingway J, Gleave KA, Wiebe A, Gething PW, Moyes CL. The majority of participants included in this study point to some consensus that transformative community engagement is more than providing information to the community, and that communities should be involved in the design and implementation of health interventions. Implications for malaria elimination. Community engagement (CE) is at the forefront of this conversation given the shift toward creating local and site-specific solutions. Houses are not the only location where malaria transmission occurs, but they remain the most important transmission environment in many endemic areas [39, 40, 41]. by about 90%. Receptivity to malaria depends on the vectorial capacity of local vector populations, i.e., not just the presence of the vector but its population size, human biting habits, and longevity in relation to the period of sporogony [12]. Dev World Bioeth. New methods under development such as house improvement have demonstrated to minimize disease burden but require further evidence on efficacy. The Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) are designed to block mosquitoes physically and has been treated with safe, residual insecticide for the purpose of killing This appears to meet best the criteria of effectiveness, equity, and efficiency [26]. 2008. It is possible that other health and development sectors can help to inform a paradigm shift in how malaria programmes incorporate affected communities in interventions. Individuals were excluded if they are unable or unwilling to provide informed consent.

The Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication waiver (http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) applies to the data made available in this article, unless otherwise stated. This article aims to review the prevention and control strategies for malaria, to assess their impact towards reducing the disease burden and to highlight the best practices observed. ITNs and IRS are regarded as the key malaria prevention and control interventions because of their proven impact on reduction of disease burden; however, scaling up the combination of vector control strategies justifies in setting goals for malaria elimination in many countries. WebOffice of Communications. There is need however to evaluate the general perception of populations towards the usage of IPTi as only one country is implementing it. Learn More about MyHealth In addition, regular stakeholder meetings, satisfaction surveys, and group discussions were listed as ways to gauge the success of community engagement strategies and remind the community that the programme values their input and engagement. Another programme used the number of community members seeking HIV testing as a monitoring and evaluation metricif the number fell below the target, the organization went to the community to find out why and changed engagement strategies once they received feedback. However, the use of available consumer products (coils, vaporizers, impregnated mats, etc.) Bayoh MN, Walker ED, Kosgei J, Ombok M, Olang GB, Githeko AK, Killeen GF, Otieno P, Desai M, Lobo NF, Vulule JM, Hamel MJ, Kariuki S, Gimnig JE. A practical application of the principles of horizontal and vertical equity. Treating the community as a partner was a common theme. This study seeks to expand on potential community engagement approaches for malaria by looking to lessons from a variety of health and development programmes. Thus, vector control measures must match with the local setting to achieve optimum effectiveness. 2017. lark County Community Services is seeking applications for programs providing prevention assistance services. Battle against poliovirus in Pakistan. Currently, RTS,S/AS01 (known as RTS,S) is the most advanced form of the vaccine. WebWHO has proposed community case management of malaria especially in communities where medical facilities are inaccessible (World Health Organization, Citation 2005). WebMalaria Champions is an initiative that recognizes a wide range of efforts that lead to the elimination of malaria in the Americas. Malar J. A larval source control program was implemented in the area (intervention and control) with the community taking a lead role. Bhatt S, Weiss DJ, Cameron E, Bisanzio D, Mappin B, Dalrymple U, et al. Outdoor malaria transmission needs to be addressed by most African countries. Many of the challenges to malaria elimination are site specific and require a more tailored approach to effectively target these remaining foci of transmission and populations at higher risk. Several programmes noted that when interventions or education sessions are only offered Monday through Friday during the day, community members who work or travel are often missed. Bernard J, Mtove G, Mandike R, Mtei F, Maxwell C, Reyburn H. Equity and coverage of insecticide-treated bed nets in an area of intense transmission of Plasmodium falciparum in Tanzania. One focus group participant reinforced the importance of continuous communication with the community before, during, and after an intervention. PLoS Medicine 7:e1000209.Gillies, MT. Brij Bhushan attends Parliament as wrestlers are manhandled outside. Accurate identification of six human Plasmodium species causing imported malaria, including Plasmodium ovale wallikeri and Plasmodium knowlesi. Malaria elimination will ultimately be achieved by the communities affected by the disease; for this to happen, the community itself must define, believe in, and commit to strategies to interrupt transmission. Sawadogo SP, Niang A, Bilgo E, Millogo A, Maiga H, Dabire RK, Tripet F, Diabate A. The major drawbacks are that not all livestock are treatable or have defined housing structures, and there is need for longer lasting endectocides to reduce treatment frequency and the issue of cost, as it can be expensive. These methods reduce malaria incidence but generally have little impact on malaria prevalence [69]. In a few settings, due to the development of resistance of SP, lumefantrine artemether has been used for chemoprevention in pregnancy [38]. One programme provides cash rewards to those who reported a suspected case of disease (The Carter Center), while others use prizes to recognize community members (GAIA). The evidence for improving housing to reduce malaria: a systematic review and meta-analysis. There are however many safety and ethical challenges to be met but this approach to malaria control is becoming a realistic option [68]. There is a growing interest to generate evidence that health campaigns such as SMC can be leveraged for integration or co-administration of other health efforts such as nutritional supplements, immunizations, or Most SSA countries use intermittent preventive therapy in pregnant women using sulphadoxine pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) at each scheduled antenatal visit after the first trimester [38]. To avoid mosquito bites, the CDC recommends the following: Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. 2017;36:29. Use of antimalarials to reduce malaria transmission. The influence of obstacles unconsciously erected against anophelines (housing and screening) upon the incidence of malaria. In recent developments, mass drug administration with ivermectin is proving to be a success in malaria control, especially for residual malaria. Despite this, uptake of IPTi has been a challenge in many malaria endemic countries. These results differ from previous interpretations of the net use gap occurring as a failure of behavioral change communication interventions. Accessed 13 Feb 2019. Equity trends in ownership of insecticide-treated nets in 19 Sub-Saharan African countries. This is done by a school-based approach using vouchers targeting all students in primary and junior high school, combining it with the Tanzania National Voucher Scheme (TNVS) which distributes ITNs to pregnant women and infants. Mller GC, Beier JC, Traore SF, Toure MB, Traore MM, Bah S, et al. LUARCC. In addition, focus group discussions and KI interviews were not transcribed word for word; the analysis was based on summaries written by the interviewing field team. However, recent developments such as development of the CRISP/cas9 gene editing technique have the potential to transform this dream into reality. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has set new goals for global malaria reduction by 2030, which include the reduction of global malaria incidence and mortality rates by at least 90%, as well as elimination of the disease in at least 35 endemic countries [3]. Sometimes, using people with influence in the community and educating them on the benefits and correct use of malaria prevention tools helps communities to understand better about the disease. While sensitization has been shown to result in improved uptake during a research study or clinical trial [17], health interventions or strategies that remain in the community long-term may benefit from bidirectional communication. The research protocol was reviewed and approved by the Human Research Protection Program Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University of California San Francisco (17-22884). One programme was contacted by the MoH to train workers, including teachers, in districts outside the original scope of the programme to expand their mission and reach. Parasit Vectors. [. Malaria. Though still under development and some in trials, malaria vaccine shows progress in efforts of eliminating malaria. Its effectiveness is well shown in several studies. Among the programmes included in this study, there was variation in approaches to increasing community motivation. Accessed 3 Jul 2017. WHO. This is another vector control method that has been underexploited [55]. Attractive toxic sugar bait (ATSB) methods are a new form of vector control that kill female and male mosquitoes questing for essential sugar sources in the outdoor environment [47]. Antibiotics are critical for treating pneumonia. When English was not the native language of participants, a local translator was used. Author (s): Mark Gershman, Rhett Stoney (Yellow Fever) Holly Biggs, Kathrine Tan (Malaria) The following pages present country-specific information on yellow fever (YF) vaccine requirements and recommendations, and malaria transmission information and prevention recommendations. Several programmes pointed to the importance of partnering with district health authorities. To strengthen community buy-in, programmes using CHWs reported that their CHWs are nominated by local leadership and/or through a participatory, community-based election process.

Resistance to the pyrethroid insecticides in Anopheles malaria mosquito vectors is now widespread throughout SSA [30]. people living with HIV, TB, Ebola survivors). However, many of the programmes reported that measuring community engagement is difficult. The nature of community engagement is that it needs to be constantly modified. (KI participant). In countries that have successfully decreased their malaria burden, cases often start to cluster in smaller geographic foci and among subpopulations with unique risk characteristics [3, 4]. These individuals are then empowered to share their successful practices with other members of the community [11]. Prevent it by sleeping under a treated mosquito net.
