Abstract

Background: No attempt had been made so far to compare the status of Malaria in countries belonging to the W.H.O. Region of Africa. This study is an attempt in that direction.Objectives: The objective of this paper is to present a birds-eye view of the Malaria situation in the W.H.O. Region of Africa.Methods: The study design included online searches related to Malaria for each country such as from the W.H.O. as well as other international organization websites.Results: Four countries (Algeria, Lesotho, Mauritius, and Seychelles) are certified to be free from Malaria. Cabo Verde, which has not reported local transmission of Malaria for 3 years as of January 2021 May soonjoin this list. Forty-two countries (Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Cote dâ€™Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea,Eswatini, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal,Sierra Leone, South Africa, South Sudan, Togo, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe) continue to report high rates of Malaria transmission.Conclusion: Many countries in the W.H.O. Region of Africa are yet to receive certification for Malaria elimination. How to cite this article:Nath A. Status of Malaria in the W.H.O. Region of Africa.

世卫组织非洲区域的疟疾状况

背景:迄今尚未试图比较属于世卫组织非洲区域的国家的疟疾状况。这项研究就是朝这个方向的尝试。目的:本文的目的是对世卫组织非洲区域的疟疾情况进行鸟瞰。方法:研究设计包括每个国家与疟疾相关的在线搜索，如世界卫生组织和其他国际组织的网站。结果:四个国家(阿尔及利亚、莱索托、毛里求斯和塞舌尔)被认证为无疟疾国家。佛得角截至2021年1月已有3年未报告疟疾的当地传播，但它可能很快加入这一名单。42个国家(安哥拉、贝宁、博茨瓦纳、布基纳法索、布隆迪、喀麦隆、中非共和国、乍得、科摩罗、刚果、科特迪瓦、刚果民主共和国、赤道几内亚、厄立特里亚、斯瓦蒂尼、埃塞俄比亚、加蓬、冈比亚、加纳、几内亚、几内亚比绍、肯尼亚、利比里亚、马达加斯加、马拉维、马里、毛里塔尼亚、莫桑比克、纳米比亚、尼日尔、尼日利亚、卢旺达、圣多美和普林西比、塞内加尔、塞拉利昂、南非、南苏丹、多哥、乌干达、坦桑尼亚联合共和国、赞比亚和津巴布韦)继续报告疟疾传播率高。结论:世卫组织非洲区域的许多国家尚未获得消除疟疾的认证。世界卫生组织非洲区域的疟疾状况。流行病学杂志，2022;8(1):5-10。DOI: https://doi.org/10.24321/2455.7048.202302
