Myanmar, North of Shan State A mobile team carries out active case detection of malaria cases in a remote village near the Chinese border. Blood smears are taken from people that might have been infected and immediately examined under a microscope powered by a small electric generator. Diagnostic testing, including rapid diagnostic tests, are vital to malaria control and elimination. -

Democratic Republic of Congo, Tushunguti Doctors are fighting to save the life of this little boy, Neema Machozi, who is suffering from severe malaria as parasites have invaded his body and brain. While three of his siblings have been treated successfully, Neema is still in an unstable condition and his recovery is uncertain. By achieving the 2030 malaria goals we can save an additional 4.5 million of lives (Source: World Health Organization on behalf of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership Secretariat, Action and Investment Plan to Defeat Malaria, published 2015), mostly of children under the age of 5 in sub-Saharan Africa. -

Zambia, Southern Province A malaria focal point person in the region demonstrates toenvironmental health technicians how to properly spray houses with insecticides to protect against malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. The development of new insecticides is crucial if we are to keep one step ahead of mosquitoes developing resistance. Swiss Malaria Group members develop new and more effective mosquito control tools and also engage in integrated vector control. -

United Kingdom, London Further research and innovation are crucial if we are to become the generation to end malaria. Apart from research into the development of new tools, it is also important to understand mosquito behavior to improve their control. This image shows the antennae of a malaria-infected Anopheles stephensi mosquito between electrodes. The experiment served to test to what extent malaria parasites change the behavior of their mosquito hosts reacting to different human odor compounds. -

Côte d’Ivoire These containers are full of bales each holding 50 insecticide-treated nets. As part of a mass-distribution partnership between many public and private sectors, 13 million nets in total will contribute to the prevention of malaria on a large scale and keep families in Côte d’Ivoire safe from mosquito bites while they sleep. Sleeping under an insecticide-treated net is an effective prevention strategy against malaria.

Care
©Suphak Nosten for Swiss Malaria Group
In Eastern Myanmar (Burma), the Karen people have lived with malaria since centuries. In this region, all age groups are affected by very drug resistant strains of P.falciparum. This mother brings her children for testing at a malaria post recently established in her village as part of a program to eliminate the disease. Such malaria posts are now available in each village and are operated by the villagers themselves trained and equipped to diagnose and treat malaria cases. As a result of this intense effort, the number of malaria cases has plummeted and her children will be able to grow without experiencing the suffering she went through in her own childhood. -

Malaria Sporozite and its sugar antigen

Microscopic perspective. Thousands of malaria parasites (green color) can be observed in a single salivary gland of a mosquito. Humans naturally produce antibodies against a sugar (red color) that can be found on parasites and this gives us a certain level of protection. Vaccines against this sugar will boost the protection level. -

A talk at night
©Suphak Nosten for Swiss Malaria Group
Eliminating malaria is urgent is Myanmar (Burma) because drug resistance is progressing rapidly. This young Karen mother lives in an isolated village where a new program is on going to eliminate the disease. As part of this effort, health workers are visiting her home to explain the program but also to listen to her. During the day, she is busy in the fields, so she opens her home at night to the visitors. Malaria affects her livelihood and that of her family and she is happy to contribute to the efforts to eliminate it. -
