摘要

疟疾仍然是发展中国家,特别是撒哈拉以南非洲的一个重大公共卫生挑战,具有深远的经济影响。本研究通过分析疟疾对经济增长、劳动生产率、医疗保健支出和整体经济稳定性的影响来检验疟疾的经济负担。使用PubMed、谷歌Scholar、JSTOR、Web of Science、MEDLINE和EMBASE等数据库进行系统的文献综述,检索词包括“疟疾”、“经济成本”、“GDP效应”、“劳动生产率”、“医疗保健支出影响”和“经济增长”。这项研究仅限于2000年至2023年间发表的研究,排除了那些缺乏定量数据或精确经济评估的研究。研究结果表明,疟疾严重阻碍了GDP增长,减少了投资,并对旅游部门和人力资本开发产生了负面影响。该疾病导致缺勤和出勤率高,特别是在农业部门,加剧了贫困和粮食不安全。直接和间接的经济成本对卫生保健系统、家庭和公共服务造成了沉重的负担,造成了贫困循环,并增加了受影响人群的债务。为了减轻这些影响,该研究强调需要加强卫生保健系统、加强预防性干预、持续研发、经济支持计划和全球合作。鉴于疟疾对各国健康和经济状况的重大影响,处理其健康和经济影响将迅速促进实现可持续发展,特别是在疟疾流行国家。

Economic burden of malaria on developing countries: A mini review

Economic burden of malaria on developing countries: A mini review
Malaria remains a major public health challenge in developing nations, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, with profound economic implications. This study examines the economic burden of malaria by analyzing its effects on economic growth, labor productivity, healthcare expenditure, and overall economic stability. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, JSTOR, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and EMBASE, with search terms including “Malaria,” “Economic Costs,” “GDP Effect,” “Labor Productivity,” “Health Care Expenditure Impact,” and “Economic Growth.” The search was restricted to studies published between 2000 and 2023, excluding those lacking quantitative data or precise economic evaluations. Findings indicate that malaria significantly hampers GDP growth, reduces investment, and negatively impacts the tourism sector and human capital development. The disease contributes to high absenteeism and presentism, particularly in the agricultural sector, exacerbating poverty and food insecurity. Both direct and indirect economic costs impose a substantial burden on healthcare systems, households, and public services, creating poverty cycles and increasing debt among affected populations. To mitigate these effects, the study underscores the need for strengthened healthcare systems, enhanced prophylactic interventions, sustained research and development, economic support programs, and global collaboration. Given the significant impact of malaria on the health and economic status of nations, tackling both its health and economic effects will fast tract the attainment of sustainable development especially in malaria-endemic countries.

期刊介绍: Parasite Epidemiology and Control is an Open Access journal. There is an increasing amount of research in the parasitology area that analyses the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. This epidemiology of parasite infectious diseases is predominantly studied in human populations but also spans other major hosts of parasitic infections and as such this journal will have a broad remit. We will focus on the major areas of epidemiological study including disease etiology, disease surveillance, drug resistance and geographical spread and screening, biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects in clinical trials for both human and other animals. We will also look at the epidemiology and control of vector insects. The journal will also cover the use of geographic information systems (Epi-GIS) for epidemiological surveillance which is a rapidly growing area of research in infectious diseases. Molecular epidemiological approaches are also particularly encouraged.
