Ethical considerations in malaria research proposal review: empirical evidence from 114 proposals submitted to an Ethics Committee in Thailand
The proposals under the FTM affiliation were all reviewed by the FTM-EC. This study examined all 114 malaria research proposals submitted to an REC in Thailand during a five-year period. Overall, the FTM makes a considerable contribution to malaria research globally.
Ethical considerations in malaria research proposal review: empirical
Background Malaria research is typically conducted in developing countries in areas of endemic disease. This raises specific ethical issues, including those related to local cultural concepts of health and disease, the educational background of study subjects, and principles of justice at the community and country level. Research Ethics Committees (RECs) are responsible for regulating the ...

Malaria research. Each year there are more than 200 million new cases of malaria, a preventable and treatable disease. According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) World malaria report 2019, there were no global gains in reducing new infections between 2014 and 2018, and nearly as many people died from malaria in 2018 as in the previous ...

Defining operational research priorities to improve malaria control and
The process used for this research prioritization effort aimed to build upon other recent malaria research prioritization efforts. The desk review revealed a few country- and regional-level malaria research agendas that included some similarly themed operational research questions [29,30,31,32]. However, most of these agendas were set between ...
Malaria in 2022: Increasing challenges, cautious optimism

Background Malaria is a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, and children are especially vulnerable. In 2019, an estimated 409,000 people died of malaria, most (274,000) were young children and 94% of the cases and deaths were in Africa. Prior studies in Ethiopia focused on the adult population and high transmission areas. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and ...

Malaria contributes indirectly to many additional deaths, mainly of young children, through synergy with other infections and illnesses. It is a major cause of anaemia in children and pregnant women and of low birth weight, premature births and infant mortality. In endemic African countries, 25% to 35% of all outpatient visits, 20% to 45% of ...

Malaria prevalence, knowledge, attitude, and practice among febrile
Background Ethiopia has achieved considerable progresses in the prevention and control of malaria in the past decades; hitherto it is a formidable health concern and socio-economic impediment.

Notes from the Field: Increases in Imported Malaria Cases
Introduction. Malaria is a severe and potentially fatal mosquitoborne disease caused by infection with Plasmodium spp. parasites.Although malaria is no longer endemic in the United States, imported infections are reported annually; the primary risk group has been U.S. residents traveling to areas where malaria is endemic (1).In 2023, sporadic locally acquired mosquito-transmitted malaria cases ...
Postdoc examines impact of fungal priority pathogen Cryptococcus
Written by. John Riehl. The World Health Organization lists Cryptococcus as a fungal priority pathogen to guide research, development, and public health action. In extreme cases, Cryptococcus is breathed into the lungs before traveling to the spinal cord and brain, causing c ryptococcal meningitis -- an infection that is fatal if untreated.
