Malaria Elimination | Vibepedia

Malaria elimination refers to the reduction of malaria cases to zero in a specific geographic area, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO has made significant progress in eliminating malaria in many regions, including most of Europe, North America, Australia, North Africa, and the Caribbean. The fight against malaria involves a range of strategies, including the use of insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor residual spraying, and artemisinin-based combination therapies. The use of insecticide-treated bed nets has been shown to be highly effective in preventing malaria transmission. The use of artemisinin-based combination therapies is a key part of the fight against malaria.
