Der RKI-Ratgeber zur Malaria bietet umfassende Informationen über die durch Plasmodium-Parasiten verursachte Infektionskrankheit. Er richtet sich an medizinisches Fachpersonal und den Öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienst und behandelt Themen wie Infektionswege, Symptomatik, Diagnostik, Therapie und Prä...vention der Malaria. Zudem werden gesetzliche Grundlagen, Meldepflichten sowie Beratungs- und Spezialdiagnostikmöglichkeiten erläutert. Der Ratgeber wird regelmäßig aktualisiert, um den neuesten Stand der Wissenschaft und epidemiologischen Daten widerzuspiegeln.

El sitio web de la OMS titulado "Malaria" ofrece una visión completa de la malaria, una enfermedad potencialmente mortal causada por parásitos del género Plasmodium y transmitida principalmente por picaduras de mosquitos en países tropicales. Proporciona información sobre los síntomas, los gru...pos de riesgo, las medidas de prevención y las opciones de tratamiento. El sitio también presenta estadísticas recientes: en 2023, se estimaron 263 millones de casos de malaria y 597,000 muertes en 83 países, siendo la región africana la más afectada, con el 94 % de los casos y el 95 % de las muertes. Los niños menores de cinco años representaron aproximadamente el 76 % de las muertes en esta región.

The MSF malaria guidelines provide practical, evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing, treating, and preventing malaria, especially in low-resource settings. They cover uncomplicated and severe cases, recommend rapid tests and artemisinin-based therapies, and include special guidance for vulne...rable groups like children and pregnant women.

This case study in Chile focused on the following two strategic levers of the WHO/UNICEF PHC Operational Framework during the implementation period 2022–2023: “Political Commitment and Leadership” and “Governance and Policy Frameworks”. This included examining how support from the three le...vels of the Organization (WHO headquarters, Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)/WHO Regional Office for the Americas and PAHO/WHO Chile Country Office) has been coordinated and operationalized. The case study also explored how, through these two strategic levers, catalytic actions have been planned and implemented in relation to other operational levers, in particular “Models of care”.

Die gefährliche Infektionskrankheit "Malaria" tritt auf, wenn die dämmerungs- und nachtaktiven Anopheles-Mücken durch Ihre Stiche Malariaerreger sog. Plasmodien übertragen. Im Folgenden wird die Übertragung von Malaria durch Mücken erläutert und durch eine Grafik und Videoanimation veranschau...licht.

The WHO Malaria Threats Map is an interactive online platform that showcases the latest global data on four critical biological threats to effective malaria control and elimination: mosquito insecticide resistance, Plasmodium falciparum hrp2/3 gene deletions, antimalarial drug resistance, and the ...spread of invasive vector species. Designed for public health professionals and researchers, the map allows users to explore and filter data regionally, track emerging resistance patterns, and view visual trends. Its purpose is to inform strategies for surveillance, guide policy-making, and support efforts to eliminate malaria, particularly by anticipating and responding to biological challenges that could undermine control programs.

Target Malaria is an innovative project that aims to reduce the population of mosquitoes that transmit malaria in sub-Saharan Africa, thereby decreasing disease transmission. As part of its work to combat malaria, Target Malaria has started contained studies at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (U...VRI) in Uganda.

Brief Introduction Malaria Vaccine Training. For countries planning malaria vaccine introduction, WHO has developed training packages of slide sets on key topics for health workers in English and French that can be downloaded and customized to meet specific country needs:
This WHO video presents updated recommendations on two new types of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) designed to combat mosquito resistance: nets containing either pyrethroid and chlorfenapyr or pyrethroid and pyriproxyfen. The video highlights the improved effectiveness of these nets compared to sta...ndard nets and emphasises the importance of their universal use in malaria-endemic areas, particularly for pregnant women and young children where supplies are limited.

This WHO guidance outlines reactive strategies to interrupt malaria transmission in areas nearing elimination or to prevent re-establishment, triggered by confirmed cases.
The malaria parasite develops both in humans and in the female Anopheles mosquitoes. The size and genetic complexity of the parasite mean that each infection presents thousands of antigens (proteins) to the human immune system.

Malaria Mini: The Basics is an accredited video course led by Dr John F. Fisher. It provides clinicians with the essential knowledge needed to recognise, prevent and treat malaria. In under an hour, it covers the parasite’s life cycle, transmission, diagnostic methods and the treatment of both unc...omplicated and severe cases. It emphasises practical skills such as taking travel histories and identifying critical symptoms. Designed for flexibility, the course includes quizzes and offers Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits. It is accessible online for free.

Cette vidéo éducative explique le cycle de vie du parasite Plasmodium, responsable du paludisme. Transmis par la piqûre de la femelle du moustique Anopheles, le parasite infecte d'abord le foie, puis les globules rouges, provoquant des symptômes typiques tels que des frissons, de la fièvre et d...es sueurs.

he Global Early Warning and Prevention System (GLEWS) identifies and monitors disease events, develops epidemiological intelligence for identification and mitigation of risks against emerging, endemic and epidemic diseases, and threats to environmental health and food security. The Tripartite (FAO, ...WHO and WOAH) collaborate and work together for an operational global One Health Intelligence system. This webinar explains how this is done
