Vaccines, prevention, climate policies, and technology are all necessary for the global fight against malaria. We have looked at the causes and effects of malaria in today's thread, including its effects on global health and its growing resistance. bit.ly/3VaNksz

Technology is transforming public health, such as mobile-based malaria surveillance. This is how the field is implementing the idea that better data leads to better prevention📱🌐.

The genetic diversity of Plasmodium makes diagnosis more difficult. Some strains are difficult to identify with conventional methods, hence new instruments are needed. The key is innovation! 🧪🔬.

Malaria is spreading due to climate change. Increased risks of transmission result from warmer temperatures that enable mosquitoes to flourish in new areas. Combating climate change is now part of the fight against malaria. "🌡️🦟

Mass Drug Administration (MDA) is occasionally employed to quickly reduce cases in malaria hotspots. In outbreaks, this emergency measure is essential, but it needs to be handled cautiously to avoid medication resistance. 💊

Although vaccines like RTS revolutionise healthcare, prevention is more than getting shots. Insecticides, preventive medicines, and bed nets are still essential community protection measures.🛡️🌐

Imported malaria refers to cases reintroduced into malaria-free zones or diagnosed in non-endemic locations. As international travel expands, both provide risks; awareness is essential. ✈️🏥.

The emergence of resistance to antimalarial medications like artemisinin threatens progress. Plasmodium parasite genetic alterations make therapy more difficult and risk achievements in malaria control. 🧬❗️

The COVID-19 disturbances in 2020–2021 led to an increase in malaria cases. The bulk of the population, 247 million, was found in Africa in 2021. Malaria prevention efforts were hampered by the epidemic, which led to an increase in cases and fatalities. 🌍📊
