TL;DR: In spite of a decline in malaria disease burden over the past decade in Zambia, a reversal in impact is notable in the year 2009-2010, signifying that control gains are fragile and must be sustained to eliminate malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
COVID-19 and malaria: A symptom screening challenge for malaria endemic countries.
TL;DR: Current screening approaches for COVID-19 are likely to miss approximately 50% of the infected cases even in countries with good health systems and available diagnostic capacities, so a malaria case may be misclassified as COVID19 if symptoms alone are used to define a case during this emergency period.
Journal ArticleDOI
