Malaria. In the fight against malaria the project targeted by the end of 5 years, a proportion of 50% of households with children sleeping under insecticide treated nets (ITNs), up from 21%. The final evaluation revealed that this target was exceeded by about 24 percentage points to stand at 74% as shown in Figure 3. The project also targeted a proportion of 60% of pregnant women to be prevented from contracting malaria by taking SP. The final year of the project saw about 87% of the women to have taken SP. Caregivers were advised to seek treatment for fever/malaria early enough, within 24 hours. Five years ago only 18% of caregivers sought treatment within 24 hours and now, about 68% of the caregivers seek treatment for fever by the next day. The project targeted a proportion of 40% - a figure that was evidently surpassed. Looking at the trends, the proportion of children who slept under ITNs increased rapidly to the 2nd year of the project and then dropped slightly to level of at between 70 and 80% (Figure 3). The proportion of mothers using SP to prevent them from malaria has increased even though in volatile trend (Figure 4). In the 2nd year, the project reached the target and then fell below the target in the following year and then surpassed the target in the other year.

By the end of the third year, more women had started seeking timely treatment marking a sharp increase to even surpass the target by the end of the project. In Table 3, the con...

Malaria. Malaria is a complex and life-threatening disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. Five parasite species cause malaria in humans, and two of these species, P. falciparum and P. vivax, pose the greatest threat to humans (WHO, 2018). The complicated and human- dependent life cycle of Plasmodium parasites has hindered elimination efforts for hundreds of years (Xxxxxx,2019). Though significant progress has been made on P. falciparium elimination efforts in Sub Saharan Africa, the life cycle and biology of P.vivax have made it uniquely challenging to detect, treat, and eradicate in areas such as South East Asia where it is the dominant species (Lucchi,2019; Mendis, 2001; WHO, 2018). Unique attributes of P. vivax such as asymptomatic infection, ability to evade detection, relapse, and insecticide resistance have contributed to the development and spread of multi-drug resistant malaria parasites within the GMS of South East Asia (Xxxxx, 2016; Xxxxxxxxxx, 2018; WHO, 2018). The looming threat of antimalarial drug resistance spreading outside the GMS has created a robust push for the elimination of malaria in South East Asia (WHO, 2018). There is a need for a vaccine or novel drugs to combat specifically P. vivax malaria in the GMS. To understand the complexity of P. vivax malaria and the need for the development of a vaccine it is important to understand how P. vivax fits into the context of malaria today.

Malaria. Literature Review Malaria is one of the oldest and impactful diseases affecting humans. There were over 200 million cases of malaria reported throughout 2015 and approximately 3.4 billion people are at risk worldwide (1). There are four species of Plasmodium that cause malaria in humans. Plasmodium falciparum results in the most severe form of the disease. It can result in anemia or death in individuals suffering from severe malaria, and can result in low birth weight in babies if mothers are infected during pregnancy (2). Although a rare outcome, P. vivax can also result in cases of complicated malaria (3). Plasmodium ovale and P. malariae comprise the other, less severe types of human malaria. Plasmodium knowlesi, a historically zoonotic species, was recently described circulating among humans in the Greater Mekong Subregion and Indonesia (4). Symptoms for uncomplicated malaria include fever, chills, other and several other flu- like symptoms. Severe or complicated malaria is more harmful, and may result in life- threatening conditions such as severe anemia and cerebral malaria (reviewed in (5)).
