Malaria epidemiological research in the Republic of Congo

Abstract: BackgroundReliable and comprehensive information on the burden of malaria is critical for guiding national and international efforts in malaria control. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of published data and available information on malaria resulting from field studies/investigations conducted in the Republic of Congo (RoC) from 1992 to 2015, as baseline for assisting public health authorities and researchers to define future research priorities as well as interventions.MethodsThis review c… Show more

“…The rainy season, which lasts 9 months, has two rainfall maxima: one in March-May and another in September-November (Samba et al, 2008). The dry season is from June to August (Koukouikila- Koussounda and Ntoumi, 2016). This study was conducted within the framework of the gastroenteritis surveillance organized by the Ministry of Health in Brazzaville before the initiation of the rotavirus vaccination program.…”

“…In the Republic of Congo, malaria is still the leading cause of attendance in health facilities. The latest estimations from the National Malaria Control Program indicate that clinical malaria account for 47.9% of all outpatient consultations in public hospitals, 64.8% of hospital admissions and 18.4% of deaths [2]. The high levels of resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to chloroquine as well as the inefficacy of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine and amodiaquine either singly or in combination for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria have been well documented [3-6].…”

“…Also, we hypothesized that the rs2736191-C allele associated with mild malaria in Burkina Faso binds less efficiently transcription factors recruited to the promoter, and that it diminishes the expression of its target gene. Here we investigated the cis-regulatory effect of rs2736191, and its association with mild malaria in a population living in the Republic of Congo, where there are limited human genetic data in relation with infectious diseases [ 36 ].…”
