Malaria in early life is due to transfer of parasitized maternal red blood cell across placenta or direct transfer of parasite from placental syncytotrophoblast. Congenital malaria is defined as malaria acquired from mother in prenatal or perinatal period. Most of the cases in endemic area, passive transfer of high amount of maternal IgG antibody binds to malarial antigen and various components of parasites giving rise to various atypical clinical presentation.

Abstract:

Malaria is a complex parasitic disease affecting about 32 million pregnancies each year in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are especially susceptible to malarial infection and have the risk of developing severe disease and birth complications. The target of Millennium Development Goal 6 is to end malaria deaths by 2015. Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality due to malaria may be reduced by implementing preventive measures, early diagnosis of suspected cases, effective antimalarial therapy and treatment of complications.

ABSTRACT Malaria is one of the major health problems in the world. It remains an important cause of very high human morbidity and mortality, especially, among children and pregnant women. It results from the infection of parasites belonging to the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax are the major pathogens responsible for causing human malaria. Approximately 75% of cases are caused by P. falciparum and associated with the mortality rate of approximately 0.5 to 1.0%. Both P. falciparum and P. vivax induce anemia during their erythrocytic stages of infection. Most of the

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and pregnancy outcomes associated with placental parasitic infections at a tertiary hospital in northern Tanzania.

Abstract:

Background: Malaria in pregnancy contributes to feto-maternal morbidity and mortality even in asymptomatic forms of the disease especially in malaria endemic regions such as Nigeria. Objective: To determine the rate of asymptomatic malaria parasitemia and placental parasitization among the rural and urban pregnant women and its feto-maternal effects in Cross River State, Nigeria. Methodology: This was a prospective study of 440 pregnant women in rural and urban settings. Participants completed structured questionnaire and also have their blood samples and placentas examined for presence of mal

Abstract:

Malaria remained a critical public health issue in Uganda, significantly affecting maternal and child health despite advances in treatment and preventive measures. Pregnant women and children under five years of age are particularly vulnerable, facing severe complications such as maternal anemia, placental malaria, and increased child mortality. This review examined the impact of malaria on these groups, highlighting the challenges posed by health system constraints, insecticide resistance, socioeconomic factors, and cultural beliefs. A comprehensive approach, including strengthening healthcar

Abstract:

Malaria congenital infection constitutes a major risk in malaria endemic areas. In this study, we report the prevalence of transplacental malaria in Burkina Faso. In labour and delivery units, thick and thin blood films were made from maternal, placental, and umbilical cord blood to determine malaria infection. A total of 1,309 mother/baby pairs were recruited. Eighteen cord blood samples (1.4%) contained malaria parasites(Plasmodium falciparum). Out of the 369 (28.2%) women with peripheral positive parasitemia, 211 (57.2%) had placental malaria and 14 (3.8%) had malaria parasites in their umb

Background Annually 125 million pregnancies are at risk of malaria infection. However, the impact of exposure to malaria in pregnancy on neurodevelopment in children is not well understood. We hypothesized that malaria in pregnancy and associated maternal immune activation result in neurodevelopmental delay in exposed offspring. Methods and findings Between April 2014 and April 2015, we followed 421 Malawian mother–baby dyads (median [IQR] maternal age: 21 [19, 28] years) who were previously enrolled (median [IQR] gestational age at enrollment: 19.7 [17.9, 22.1] weeks) in a randomized controll

The protozoan, viral and bacterial infections of malaria, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) cause over 5.5 million deaths each year. This burden of disease is largely concentrated in the same geographical regions, related to vector distribution, their association with poverty and the vulnerability of HIV infected people to both malaria and TB.

Abstract:

Malaria remains a major cause of maternal morbidity and adverse pregnancy outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa, with rural Uganda experiencing significant challenges in ensuring effective intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy (IPTp). Community-based intermittent preventive treatment (C-IPTp) offers a promising approach to overcoming barriers such as healthcare inaccessibility and poor adherence to facility-based IPTp. This review evaluated the impact of C-IPTp on malaria incidence among pregnant women in rural Uganda using evidence from a cluster trial methodology, where villages or hea
