On the epidemiology of Plasmodium vivax malaria: past and present with special reference to the former USSR

Abstract: Presently, many malaria-endemic countries in the world are transitioning towards malaria elimination. Out of the 105 countries with ongoing malaria transmission, 10 countries are classified as being in the pre-elimination phase of malaria control, and 9 countries are in the malaria elimination stage, whereas 7 countries are classified as being in the prevention of introduction phase. Between 2000 and 2015, 17 countries eliminated malaria (i.e., attained zero indigenous cases for 3 years or more). Seven countri… Show more

“…The cases presented here are particular in that the severity of the attacks revealed itself not at the primary infection but on relapses. Severe P. vivax episodes have been already reported in endemic areas after 2-3 relapses in the case of strains with long incubation [20]. To our knowledge, such cases have not been reported previously in imported malaria.…”

“…They may also exhibit extended incubation period (7-14 months) [16,18,19]. Much longer incubations (> three years) are exceptionally reported for P. vivax in the literature [20]. We inferred that Patient 1 presented at his first visit to our hospital during a relapse because he had not traveled in endemic area since at least three years.…”

“…The greatest challenge was importation from Tajikistan, the country that faced a malaria epidemic in the post-Soviet era. The peak of malaria cases in Tajikistan was officially registered as nearly 30,000 in 1997 [14], although the true number of cases, according to expert estimates, could have exceeded 100,000 per year [15].…”
