Read our latest Open Access MalariaWorld Journal now: "Semi-field evaluation of efficacy and residual activity of a microencapsulated pyriproxyfen formulation on Anopheles arabiensis emergence inhibition"

The integration of larviciding as a supplementary tool for malaria vector control requires effective larvicide formulations that are specifically suited to the target vector species, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective to reflect the needs of resource-limited settings in sub-Saharan Africa.

New article now available: "No G6PD A- (G202A) variant detected among Plasmodium falciparum-positive patients in Awka, Southeast Nigeria: a hospital-based study"

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, prevalent in malaria-endemic regions, has been associated with a reduced risk of severe due to impaired parasite growth in deficient erythrocytes. The G6PD gene, located on the X chromosome, harbours various mutations associated with differing enzyme activity levels.

In memoriam: Prof. Sir Nicholas White 1951 - 2026

We've lost another malaria hero. On behalf of the entire MalariaWorld team, I am sending our deepest condoleances to Nick's family, friends and colleagues.

Read the tribute by the Nuffield Department of Medicine of the University of Oxford:

Nick White was Professor of Tropical Medicine at the University of Oxford and Mahidol University in Thailand. He was a central figure in the development of the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) and its sister unit, the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam (OUCRU). In these endeavours he was supported by the Wellcome Trust throughout his career.
