Overview

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. After infection, the parasites multiply in the liver and then the red blood cells, producing symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, and fatigue, and in severe cases anemia, organ failure, and death. It remains a major public health problem, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, and is treated with antimalarial drugs and prevented through measures such as insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor spraying, vector control, and preventive treatment in high-risk groups. As a central topic in tropical medicine, malaria research spans transmission, prevention, treatment, and the social factors that shape exposure and care. Work relevant to this topic in OpenAccessPub journals includes studies of factors sustaining malaria transmission in peri-urban Dar es Salaam, uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy in Nigeria, malaria and typhoid co-infection in Burkina Faso, preferred household methods of preventing malaria in children in Ghana, and the modulation of reactive oxygen intermediates during Plasmodium infection. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the topic.
