Full textLuego de una descripción de cada epidemia utilizando diferentes indicadores, se pudo observar que la incidencia semanal y la proporción de la malaria en la consulta externa son indicadores fáciles de recopilar, que detectan rápidamente un aumento en los casos de malaria y que sirven para ver la evolución de la misma.
Otros indicadores evaluados como la distribución por grupos de edad, letalidad por malaria o proporción de admisiones debido a la malaria, proporción de malaria confirmada, no cumplieron con los requisitos mencionados anteriormente.
Los umbrales se establecieron mediante las pruebas de normalidad de D'Agostino-Pearson y la curva ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics), se validaron con las pruebas de Kappa y de Mc. Nemar, usando los programas estadístico MedCalc® (Schoonjans, 2006) y el SPSS® 12.0.
Teniendo en cuenta estas 4 epidemias hemos establecido unos umbrales sobre la base de una sensibilidad superior al 90% y una especificidad no inferior al 70%. Para la incidencia de malaria el umbral propuesto es de 600 casos por 100.000 habitantes por semana y para la proporción de la malaria se estableció en el 50% del total de las consultas en una semana sean debidas a la malaria.
Los niveles de alerta resultantes nos pueden ayudar a tomar decisiones que deben complementarse con un estudio del contexto, análisis de factores de riesgo, la capacidad de respuesta local y la posibilidad de ayuda externa.
This study analyses differing indicators and proposes epidemic thresholds that may be helpful in the decision-making process. To this end, four epidemics in which MSF had intervened in the last 5 years and therefore had sufficient information on were selected. These had occurred in Angola, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Burundi.
Following a description of each epidemic using a range of indicators, the weekly rate and proportion of malaria in outpatient clinics were found to be indicators that were easy to gather, rapidly detected a rise in malaria cases and could show the evolution of the disease.
Other indicators assessed such as age group distribution, fatality due to malaria and the proportion of malaria admissions and proportion of confirmed malaria did not meet the requisites mentioned above.
Thresholds were established using the D'Agostino-Pearson test and ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) curve and validated with the Kappa and de Mc. Nemar tests. The MedCalc® (Schoonjans, 2006) and SPSS® 12.0 statistical programmes were used to this end.
For these four epidemics, thresholds were established on the basis of sensitivity above 90% and specificity of at least 70%. The threshold proposed for the rate of malaria is 600 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per week and for the malaria proportion this was set at 50% of all consultations in one week due to malaria.
The resulting alert levels can be used to make decisions that should be complemented by a study of the context, analysis of risk factors, the capacity for a local response and the possibility of external aid.

The malaria burden has decreased in Nepal between 1988 and 2013. However, there are challenges to completely eradicating the disease. Malaria patterns in a few endemic districts have not changed, and higher malaria case rates have been detected within districts which otherwise were categorized as low endemic areas. Underlying biophysical, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors influence malaria transmission and create region-specific patterns. This research employs various concepts, tools, and techniques to understand the geographic distribution of malaria in Nepal. In this research, malaria prevalence patterns were investigated at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The study identifies malaria hot spots, describes their characteristics and examines shifts in malaria hot spots between 1988 and 2013. Within that 26-year time span, 267,121 confirmed malaria cases were recorded. Thirty-nine of 75 districts were identified as malaria hot spots in Nepal. Based on the frequency, persistence and proportion of caseloads each year, the identified hotspots were grouped into five categories; stable, disappearing, emerging, reemerging, and intermittent. The research also investigated the relationship between climatic factors and malaria frequency, and found that temperature and precipitation during the monsoon and non-monsoon seasons played significant roles in determining the absence and presence of malaria and low and high frequency of malaria distribution at the district level. The dissertation also presents the findings of a study that investigated malaria–related knowledge, perceptions and practices among adults in Nepal, specifically knowledge about its signs, symptoms, consequences, and the availability and use of prevention tools. Although a significant portion of respondents had heard of malaria there was wide variation in their knowledge about specific information related to the disease. Locality, age, household size, education, and income were significantly associated with malaria–related knowledge.

Full textGenome-wide association studies (GWAS) for severe malaria have identified 30 genetic variants mostly located in non-coding regions, with only few associations replicated in independent populations. In this study, we aimed at identifying potential causal genetic variants located in these loci and demonstrate their functional activity. We systematically investigated the regulatory effect of the SNPs in linkage disequilibrium with the tagSNPs associated with severe malaria in several populations. Annotating and prioritizing genetic variants led to the identification of a regulatory region containing 5 ATP2B4 SNPs in linkage disequilibrium with the tagSNP rs10900585. We confirmed the association of rs10900585 and also found significant associations of severe malaria with our candidate SNPs (rs11240734, rs1541252, rs1541253, rs1541254, and rs1541255) in a Senegalese population. Then, we showed that this region had both a promoter and an enhancer activity and that both individual SNPs and the combination of SNPs had an effect using luciferase reporter assays. In addition, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of this region decreased ATP2B4 transcript and protein levels and increased Ca2+ intracellular concentration in K562 cell line. Taken together, our data show that severe malaria associated genetic variants alters the activity of a promoter with enhancer function. We showed that this enhancer controls the expression of ATP2B4 that encodes plasma membrane calcium-transporting ATPase 4 (PMCA4), which is the major calcium pump on red blood cells. Altering the activity of this Epromoter affects the risk of severe malaria probably through calcium concentration effect on parasitaemia

Malaria is a complex and devastating disease vectored by the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito. This disease claimed an estimated 438,000 lives in 2015. The mobilization of funding and resources as part of global malaria eradication initiatives have reduced the global incidence of malaria by 37% in the last 15 years. Deaths from malaria are also 60% lower vs. the year 2000. These promising gains are threatened by the ability of Anopheles mosquitoes to adapt in the face of malaria control efforts. Anopheles mosquito chromosomes are known to be highly plastic, as evidenced by numerous chromosomal inversions. Recent years have seen increases in insecticide resistance, and behavioral change in mosquito populations that allow them to avoid insecticides and remain prolific vectors of disease. This ability of mosquito vectors to adapt threatens to unravel recent progress towards a malaria free world. The projects presented in this dissertation explore mechanisms of chromosomal evolution, specifically the potential role of repetitive DNA in the generation of chromosomal inversions. The exploration of chromosomal inversions was facilitated by the creation of physical maps for Anopheles species. Prominent malaria vectors An. stephensi andAn. albimanus were physically mapped in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 respectively. In chapter 1 and chapter 3 physical maps are utilized for the identification of chromosomal inversion breakpoints using 2 species (Ch. 2) and many species (Ch. 4). Repeat content was quantified along each chromosomal arm (Ch 2,4) and in inversion breakpoint regions (Ch 3). This dissertation presents physical maps for two important malaria species that have been applied to the study of chromosomal evolution and will also serve as community tools for further study of malaria mosquitoes. Our work on chromosomal evolution has revealed the Anopheles chromosomes tend to undergo translocations as intact elements and do not under fissions and fusions as seen in fruitflies. We also find that the malaria mosquito sex chromosome changes much more rapidly relative to the autosomes than in fruitflies. Additionally, repetitive DNA including transposable elements (TEs) and tandem repeats (TRs) may be encouraging chromosomal inversions but with differing roles on different chromosomal arms.

Full textThe aim of this qualitative study was to explore experiences of malaria and attitudes to malaria prevention among nurses from Tanzania. Eleven nurses from three hospitals in northern Tanzania were interviewed. The analysis resulted in following categories: The malaria situation was so severe at that time, Being both nurse and parent, Hindrances in the battle, Sharing knowledge and There is a change. Ten out of eleven nurses had had malaria and all of them had been treated with anti-malarial drugs and many of them still had malaria regularly. They remembered times when the malaria situation was worse and the disease killed many more people. Having children resulted in constant worry. Being a nurse had advantages because they lived close to the hospitals so they could initiate early treatment and because they could afford to take preventive measures. Hindrances in the battle against malaria were other people’s lack of knowledge, poverty and difficulty to change lifestyle and environmental conditions. They were proud to be nurses and knowledge was their strength. There were geographical differences in how much hope they had for the future. The nurses in Zanzibar were the most optimistic. The nurses supported the governmental actions against malaria.
Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka vilka upplevelser sjuksköterskor från Tanzania hade av malaria och deras attityder till malariaförebyggande åtgärder. Elva sjuksköterskor från tre sjukhus i norra Tanzania intervjuades. Analysen resulterade i följande kategorier: Malariasituationen var så allvarlig på den tiden, Att vara sjuksköterska och förälder, Hinder i kampen, Att dela kunskap och Det har blivit en förändring. Tio av de elva sjuksköterskorna hade haft malaria och alla hade fått malariabehandling och flera av dem hade fortfarande malaria regelbundet. De hade minnen från när malariasituationen var värre och många fler människor dog av sjukdomen. Att vara förälder innebar konstant oro. Att vara sjuksköterska hade fördelar eftersom de bodde nära sjukhusen och därför kunde inleda snabb behandling och för att de hade råd att genomföra förebyggande åtgärder. Hinder i kampen mot malaria var andra människors okunskap, fattigdom och svårigheter att förändra livsstil. De var stolta över att vara sjuksköterskor och kunskap var deras styrka. Det fanns geografiska skillnader när det gällde deras framtidstro. Sjuksköterskorna på Zanzibar var de mest hoppfulla. Sjuksköterskorna stödde de statliga insatserna mot malaria.
