Malaria cases worldwide continued to rise between 2020 and 2021, but at a slower rate than in the period from 2019 to 2020. The global tally of malaria cases reached 247 million in 2021, compared to 245 million in 2020 and 232 million in 2019. Read More..
According to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, this slight increase was due to redoubled efforts by malaria-affected countries to mitigate the worst impacts of COVID-19-related disruptions to malaria services, Xinhua news agency reported.
How to Prevent Malaria
The primary tool has been insecticide-treated nets for beds. The WHO also recommends seasonal malaria chemoprevention, to prevent the disease among children living in areas with highly seasonal malaria transmission in Africa.Meanwhile, the report says that artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are the most effective treatment for P. falciparum malaria. Malaria-endemic countries delivered an estimated 242 million ACTs worldwide in 2021, compared to 239 million ACTs in 2019.
About Mosquito Diseases
Mosquito-borne diseases, like malaria, filaria, dengue, etc are common in places conducive of mosquito breeding. Swamps, ponds and stagnated drainage provide optimal breeding ground for mosquitoes.
