In the first four months of 2024, Viet Nam has seen a more than twofold increase in malaria cases. Health workers in Khanh Thuong Commune, Khanh Vinh District, Khanh Hoa Province, have been actively collecting blood smears and conducting tests to detect malaria. Khanh Hoa Province recorded the highest number of cases, with 94 instances accounting for 66.7% of the total, followed by Nghe An and Ha Tinh Provinces with eight and seven cases, respectively.
The patient, who is 19 weeks pregnant, was diagnosed with septic shock, malignant malaria, and acute liver failure, according to the hospital's deputy director, Hoang Thi Lan Huong.
To summarize the activities of malaria control and elimination in 2023 and outline plans for malaria elimination in the future, the Institute of Malariology, Parasitology, and Entomology Quy Nhon (IMPE-QN) held the Conference on Summing-Up of Malaria Control and Elimination in Central Vietnam in 2023 on December 26th, 2023, in Quang Ngai City, Quang Ngai Province.
In the overall survey of all three communes, Anopheles maculatus predominated over the other species, with a total of 276 individuals. Out of the 16 collected species, four were malaria vectors, including the primary vectors Anopheles minimus and Anopheles dirus, as well as two secondary vectors, namely Anopheles aconitus and Anopheles maculatus.
In the context of an increase in malaria cases in the first 8 months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 in three communes (Khanh Thuong, Khanh Thanh, and Son Thai) of Khanh Vinh district, Khanh Hoa province, the Institute of Malariology, Parasitology and Entomology Quy Nhon has enhanced its support in containment of the disease.
