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)

National-level estimates may obscure higher coverage in endemic subnational areas targeted by programmes.Source: UNICEF global malaria databases 2009, based on 22 countries with trend data for around 2000 and 2006, covering 53 per cent of children under age five.

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.

• 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

MALARIA PROGRAMME
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.

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
