This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this protocol is to support the conduct of entomological comparative efficacy assessments for vector control products and the associated non-inferiority analysis. This evidence is used to inform discussions within the guidelines development context as to whether a new vector control product should be considered as covered by one or more existing WHO recommendations or not. Alternatively, the evidence may inform the extension of an existing WHO recommendation or the development of a new one, provided that non-inferiority is demonstrated.

Download or read book Malaria vaccines preferred product characteristics and clinical development considerations written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preferred product characteristics” (PPCs) are key tools to incentivize and guide the development of urgently needed health products. The PPCs published here aim to articulate the public health need, preferred characteristics, and clinical development considerations for new malaria vaccines. WHO PPCs were initially conceived in 2012-2013 as a class of research-oriented normative guidance documents. The first edition of the WHO PPCs for malaria vaccines (WHO/IVB/14.09), published in 2014, was the first-in-class of these documents. The document published here is an update to the 2014 edition. Since the first malaria vaccine PPCs were published in 2014, major milestones in malaria vaccine R&D have been achieved. In 2021, RTS,S/AS01 became the first malaria vaccine to be recommended by WHO for use in moderate- to high-transmission settings in sub-Saharan Africa. However, a healthy market of vaccines will be needed to meet the global demand. A continued focus on developing new and improved vaccines will be vital in our efforts to reduce global malaria burden and to achieve elimination and eradication. This includes malaria vaccines to prevent blood-stage infection, reduce morbidity and mortality, and/or reduce community-level transmission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the historical debate surrounding the partition of Africa, the events that led up to it and its implications for the continent itself and for the rest of the world is so controversial that it is difficult to provide a coherent survey of the shifting theories of the last twenty years. In this pamphlet Dr MacKenzie attempts to do this, by sketching the historical background to the partition, surveying the events of the partition in the four main regions of Africa and then examining in turn the theories produced to explain the sequence of events.

Download or read book World Malaria Report 2015 written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2016-01-30 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Malaria Report 2015assesses global malaria disease trends and changes in the coverage and financing of malaria control programs between 2000 and 2015. It also summarizes progress towards international targets, and provides regional and country profiles that summarize trends in each WHO region and each country with malaria. The report is produced with the help of WHO regional and country offices, ministries of health in endemic countries, and a broad range of other partners. The data presented are assembled from the 96 countries and territories with ongoing malaria transmission, and a further five countries that have recently eliminated malaria. Most data are those reported for 2014 and 2015, although in some cases projections have been made into 2015, to assess progress towards targets for 2015.
