Malaria is still endemic in Africa.

Les moustiques Anopheles transmettent le paludisme.
Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria.
Mosquitoes are the world’s most dangerous animal. It’s important to know how to avoid malaria.
On peut considérer qu'un moustique transmetteur du paludisme est un moustique malade. C'est là que les bactéries peuvent jouer un rôle utile.
In a sense, a malaria-transmitting mosquito is a sick mosquito. This is where bacteria can help.
Des méthodes ne faisant pas appel aux insecticides sont nécessaires pour renforcer la lutte contre les maladies transmises par les moustiques.
Methods that don’t rely on insecticides are needed to bolster the fight against mosquito-borne diseases.
Dalam bentuknya yang sekarang vaksin ini hanya bekerja sangat efektif pada anak-anak yang sangat muda, berusia antara 5-17 bulan.
Perubahan iklim dapat mempengaruhi distribusi vektor malaria. Kami berfokus secara khusus pada bagaimana vektor yang resisten terhadap insektisida terpengaruh vektor yang rentan terhadap insektisida.
As the Earth warms up the malaria vector will develop faster, allowing them to breed faster, bite more frequently and expand into formerly unsuitable habitats.
There are many reasons that malaria is so persistent in Africa. Four of them are poverty, human movement, resistance and climate change.
Marginalised or minority groups seem to suffer the most from heat-related deaths and disease.
It is estimated that half of world’s population is at risk of being infected by an arbovirus.
The spread of this urban malaria vector species threatens the gains made against malaria and the achievement of malaria elimination.
Insecticide resistance is a growing threat to malaria control efforts globally. It is, thus, important to keep a close eye on vector mosquito populations in affected areas.
Apa yang kita sebut nyamuk sebenarnya adalah 3500 jenis serangga yang berbeda, dan mereka semua berperilaku berbeda.
What we call mosquitoes are actually 3500 different types of insects, and they all behave differently.
The South African Malaria Control Programme is one of the few on the continent that is entirely funded by government. The stable source of funding has allowed for steady malaria control interventions.
The successful development of an effective vaccine against the deadliest form of malaria that is most common in sub-Saharan Africa is indeed a major achievement.
Mosquitoes are among the deadliest animals in the world. Half of the deaths attributed to them are associated with malaria. But they carry other parasites and viruses that threaten human health.
Southern African Development Community countries are very connected. Highly mobile and migrant populations frequently cross borders, posing significant challenges to reaching a malaria-free region.
Researchers are only beginning to understand the impact of pollution and increased temperatures on the biology of mosquitoes.
