Presumptive Treatment (Stopped) The policy in 2013 stopped the practice of presumptive treatment for malaria, which previously involved giving all fever cases a single dose of chloroquine tablets, according to an age-wise schedule, at the time of blood smear (BS) collection. 2. Condensed […]

Vector control Methods

Vector Control Methods (Anopheles) Anopheles Larval Control Methods Anopheles larval control measures involve four major approaches A) Chemical Control In malaria programs, Anopheles larval control is carried out using larvicides, e.g., Temephos, Baytek, etc. B) Biological Control C) Minor Engineering Measures D) Personal Protection Communities should be made aware of how to protect themselves from […]

Procedure of blood smear collection 

For diagnosis of malaria, blood should ideally be taken directly from the patient’s finger, and the smears should be prepared in the field beside or in the clinic. Such sample collection is better for the slides, leaving a cleaner background after lysis, and parasite and red blood cell changes are minimal. If anticoagulants are used […]

Malaria surveillance

SURVEILLANCE It is aimed at case detection through laboratory services and providing facilities for proper and complete treatment (EDCT). It is the continuous and systematic blood smear collection, analysis, and interpretation of malaria-related data for the program. There are five kinds of surveillance. Types of Surveillance 1. Active Surveillance A blood smear is taken or […]

Transmission cycle of malaria

Malaria Transmission Cycle Parasite → Vector → Human → Vector Parasite Vector Human Vector ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ Natural transmission cycle of malaria The natural cycle of malaria transmission consists mainly of a mosquito (vector), a parasite (having the gametocyte stage of an individual), and a human being (healthy person). The transmission season of malaria […]

Confirmative Diagnosis

1) Clinical Diagnosis: Once malaria is suspected on clinical grounds, laboratory confirmation is mandatory. 2) Laboratory Diagnosis: Laboratory diagnosis methods for detecting Plasmodium parasites in whole blood are crucial. There are two methods; use depends upon ecological condition. Direct evidence Direct evidence of the presence of the  malaria parasite in the whole blood MICROSCOPY (Gold Standard):- By surveillance, […]

Epidemiological Parameters in Malaria

Epidemiological parameters like ABER, MBER, API, and SPR are essential tools for monitoring malaria trends, evaluating control programs, and guiding public health policy.
They measure blood examination rates, parasite incidence, and positivity ratios to identify high-risk areas and ensure timely intervention.

Kind of Transmission of malaria

There are three types of transmission of malaria 1) Indigenous transmission of malaria  It is a natural cycle of malaria transmission, i.e., Vector —> Host —-> Vector —>It is known as the Indigenous type of malarial transmission. It refers to the local spread of malaria in a specific area. The transmission occurs within the region, not […]
