An Overview of Malaria in Pregnancy
Abstract. One hundred twenty-five million pregnant women are at risk for contracting malaria, a preventable cause of maternal and infant morbidity and death. Malaria parasites contribute to adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes due to their preferential accumulation in placental intervillous spaces. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to ...
Malaria in pregnancy: A community-based study on the knowledge
Introduction. Malaria is a major public health burden in sub-Saharan Africa, especially Nigeria, causing 300-500 million illnesses and 1-2 million deaths every year.[] It is a preventable and treatable mosquito-borne illness and one of the world's most common and serious tropical diseases.[2,3] Following the huge investment in its prevention, there was a significant decline in incidence ...

Ways need to be found of improving collaboration between malaria control and HIV treatment programmes. Category 1: study results could change what we do. Category 2: study results could substantially improve what we do. Category 3: study results could help achieve high coverage with what we should be doing.
PDF Treatment of uncomplicated and severe malaria during pregnancy
Malaria in pregnancy can be diagnosed by HRP2-based RDTs; available ACTs can be used for the treatment of malaria during the second and third trimester of pregnancy; and WHO might revise the guidelines on the use of artemisinins in the first trimester of pregnancy. This evidence needs to be translated into policy.
PDF RESEARCH Open Access Impact of malaria during pregnancy on pregnancy
Malaria in pregnancy (MiP) is a major public health problem in endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa and has important consequences on birth outcome. Because MiP is a complex phenomenon and malaria epidemiology is rapidly changing, additional evidence is still required to understand how best to control malaria.
Systematic Review of Mixed Studies on Malaria in Pregnancy: Individual
Malaria in pregnancy (MiP) is a global public health problem; its research is predominantly quantitative. The objective was to analyze the individual, cultural and socioeconomic determinants of the treatment and prevention of MiP with a systematic review of mixed studies (search had no date restriction).

Prevalence and associated factors of malaria among pregnant women in
Background Malaria during pregnancy leads to serious adverse effects on mothers and the fetus. Approximately 25 million pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa live at risk of malaria. This study would help to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by improving programs that deal with the prevention of malaria. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of ...
Prevalence of asymptomatic malaria and associated factors among
Malaria infection during pregnancy is a significant public health problem that puts pregnant women at risk. Interruption of transmission of asymptomatic malaria among a population remained a challenge and the host serves as a reservoir for the malaria parasite; and is also recognized as a major barrier to malaria elimination. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of asymptomatic malaria ...
The impact of malaria during pregnancy on low birth weight in East
Background Globally, approximately 15% of all babies are born with low birth weight (< 2.5 kg) and ≥ 90% of them are born in low- and middle-income countries. Malaria infection in pregnancy remains a public health concern as it can affect both the mother and the newborn. Notably, it increases the risk of newborns with low birth weight. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends ...
Malaria in pregnancy: priorities for research

Traditionally, microscopic examination of blood smears is used to detect pregnancy-associated malaria. In non-pregnant populations, many individuals have sub-microscopic peripheral blood parasitaemias, detectable by PCR,16 and these are often composed of many diff erent parasite genotypes. In one study in pregnant women, submicroscopic ...
Malaria in pregnancy: a literature review
Abstract. Pregnant women are more likely than nonpregnant women to become infected with malaria and to have severe infection. The effects of malaria during pregnancy include spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, low birth weight, stillbirth, congenital infection, and maternal death. Malaria is caused by the four species of the protozoa of the ...

Comparison of malaria diagnostic methods for detection of asymptomatic
Malaria in pregnancy remains a major public health problem in the globe, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In malaria endemic areas, most pregnant women remain asymptomatic, but malaria could still cause complications on the mother and her offspring; as well as serve as reservoirs to transmit infection. Despite these effects, no attention is given to the diagnosis of asymptomatic Plasmodium ...

Malaria is a climate-sensitive, vector-borne disease that caused 619,000 deaths among 247 million cases in 2021 ( 1 ). This burden is acutely focused on Africa, where 95% of global cases are reported ( 1 ). Reductions in cases in Africa have slowed or even reversed in recent years, attributed in part to a stall in investments in global ...
