MALARIA PROGRAMME

Global malaria burdenGlobal malaria burden

5 species of malaria parasites infect people

– Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale and P. knowlesi

Estimated 247 (152-387) million malaria patients in 2006

Estimated 881 (610-1212) thousand malaria in 2006

91% of deaths and 86% of cases occur in Africa south of the Sahara

109 malaria endemic countries/territories

– 15 no P.falciparum transmission, only P.vivax– 8 recently no more locally transmitted cases

MALARIA PROGRAMME

Highly effective prevention and control strategies Highly effective prevention and control strategies

1. Long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) to prevent malaria

2. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) to prevent malaria and control epidemics

3. Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) to confirm diagnosis where microsopy is not avaialble

4. Artemisinin-combination therapy (ACTs) to cure malaria and prevent deaths

5. Intermittent preventive therapy to protect pregnant women (IPT)

MALARIA PROGRAMME

Expanding laboratory diagnosis of malariaExpanding laboratory diagnosis of malaria

The WHO Malaria RDT Evaluation Programme, jointly coordinated by WPRO, TDR, FIND and US CDC, completed Round 1 product testing in 2009 and publication of results allows comparative assessment of RDTs in relation to parasite detection thresholds, stability, false positivity rate, invalid test results and ease of use.

Product testing, together with pre/post-shipment lot-testing, allows informed decisions for procurement agencies to take place.

New WHO guidelines for Quality Assurance of Malaria Microscopy have been published and provide new and practical approaches for QA in malaria microscopy, including methods for accreditation of national expert microscopists, and routine validation of slide examination.

Affordable Medicine Facility for malaria

• Initiative hosted by the Globl Fund to supply quality ACTs at highly subsidized price, aiming to:

– Make ACTs more available and

affordable across the public, private and

not-for-profit sectors in malaria endemic

countries;

– Delay emergence of resistance to

artemisinin by displacing use of oral artemisinin-based monotherapies

Key lessons Key lessons

Increased access to effective malaria control interventions in recent years - higher political support and mobilization of resources

Preliminary analysis suggest that 2010 target has been already achieved in 2008 by 5 African countries (Eritrea, Gambia, Rwanda, Sao Tomé and Principe, and Zambia) and by the islands of Zanzibar (United Republic of Tanzania). Sao Tomé and Principe has already achieved the 2015 target of at least 75% reduction in malaria mortality using IRS, in addition to ITNs and ACTs

Since 2008 Report, impact is confirmed in countries with low- moderate transmission and high intervention coverage.

MALARIA PROGRAMME

Key lessons (2)Key lessons (2)

Outside the African Region malaria declined in 22 countries since 2000, but reduction was lowest in countries with the highest incidence rates.

In some Western African countries (Togo and Niger) and in the high- transmission areas of western Kenya, the mass distribution of ITNs targeted to only children and pregnant women has not produced same impact as observed in countries with lower malaria transmission implementing universal coverage. To reach the 2010 global impact targets, malaria interventions need to target all persons, instead of just children and pregnant women, especially in areas of high transmission.

In view of the resilient nature of malaria transmission, success in control and elimination should be measured in decades, not in few years; failure to sustain control results in resurgence and epidemics.

Antimalarial tools required for the next phase of malaria control and elimination

Antimalarial tools required for the next phase of malaria control and elimination

New long-acting insecticides for IRS and LLINs (without excito-repellency)

Longer acting LLINs

Mosaic/combination insecticide treatment of LLIN and for IRS

ITM for forest workers and dwellers (e.g. hammocks, blankets)

Antimalarial with >95% cure rate & transmission blocking effect

Triple FDC medicines, single dose regimen & high safety profile (IPT)

Safe, effective medicines for radical treatment of P. vivax

Robust & sensitive diagnostic tools and strong surveillance systems

Effective pre-erythrocytic and transmission blocking malaria vaccines
