Suddenly getting parasites from harmful habits (06/28/2024)

A 38-year-old female patient in Ha Noi visited Medlatec General Hospital for a routine check-up and was unexpectedly found to have a parasitic infection requiring immediate treatment to prevent complications. Patients are often shocked to learn that such diseases can stem from daily habits that many people inadvertently maintain today.

Viet Nam experiences surge in malaria cases in early 2024 (05/17/2024)

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.

Malaria vaccines: Advances and future directions (06/28/2024)

Malaria vaccine development began in the 1960s, with significant progress over the last decade. o­n October 6, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the RTS,S/AS01 (RTS,S) malaria vaccine for widespread use among children in sub-Saharan Africa and other high malaria transmission areas. In 2023, the WHO approved another vaccine, R21/Matrix-M, for malaria-endemic regions.

The collaborative mission between IMPE-QN and WHO investigates malaria situation in Khanh Hoa Province (06/12/2024)

On June 5-6, 2024, the joint working group from the Institute of Malariology, Parasitology, and Entomology Quy Nhon (IMPE-QN) and the World Health Organization (WHO) office in Viet Nam visited and worked at the Institute and local health units in Khanh Hoa Province. The purpose of these visits and meetings was to assess the malaria situation and discuss the most proactive malaria prevention activities amidst the increasing and fluctuating malaria cases in Khanh Vinh District, Khanh Hoa Province, which pose a risk of spreading to other provinces through malaria vectors and mobile populations.

Mosquito dissection - a technique to determine the role of mosquitoes in transmitting malaria (Part 2) (02/19/2024)

The mosquito dissection technique can also determine the developmental stages of mosquitoes based o­n specific criteria when observing the egg strings. To determine these stages, it is crucial to identify the physiological condition of the collected female mosquitoes. Previously, the physiological condition of mosquitoes was determined using the sella index, ranging from sella I to sella VII.

World Malaria Day 2024: "Accelerating the fight against malaria for a more equitable world" (04/25/2024)

World Malaria Day, observed annually o­n April 25th, serves to emphasize the global impact of malaria. The theme for this year is "Accelerating the Fight Against Malaria for a More Equitable World," which underscores the existing disparities and inequities in accessing malaria treatment, prevention, and detection services globally and within individual countries. These inequities arise not o­nly from financial constraints but also from attitudes, cultural factors, and the stigma associated with the disease. O­n this page, we feature messages from senior health officials about World Malaria Day 2024.

   Collaborative activities  -  Malaria control for ethnic minorities  

Towards a malaria-free Viet Nam (07/06/2023)

As Viet Nam approaches elimination, malaria has become rare or non-existent in settled, ethnic majority villages but persists in geographically remote areas inhabited by ethnic minorities. Malaria control is facing a lot of difficulties because of uncontrollable mobilized populations such as forest goers and border crossers. Behavior change of minority groups - to alert populations to need to seek prompt diagnosis and treatment from available services, and to comply with full course of treatment - is challenging and requires persistent efforts using multiple channels with involvement of Commune Health Workers and Community Malaria Action Team members. Here are two typical examples of such engagement in two malaria hotpots of Viet Nam - Lai Chau and Gia Lai.

Assessment of drug efficacy of dihydroartemisinine - piperaquine and chloroquine in treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria respectively in Central highland region (06/05/2018)

The parasite resistance to antimalarial drugs in Central highland of Vietnam is an early warning to us that we are losing the most optimal weapons fighting the malaria. The dihydroartemisin plus piperaquine combination and chloroquin, which was listed into the essential antimalarial drugs since 2007 in Vietnam, has been used for 10 years until resistance appears in some Southern, Central of Western highland provinces. The study was conducted to evaluate the first-line drugs' efficacy in the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax patients in multicenters;
