Millions of individuals with malaria-like fevers purchase drugs from private retailers, but ACTs, the only effective treatment in regions with high levels of resistance to older drugs, are rarely obtained through these outlets due to their relatively high cost.

Synthetic pyrethroids are potent insecticides most commonly used in the vector control programme. These are applied for indoor residual sprays, space sprays and in impregnated bed nets.

Two major cities in West Africa, Accra, the capital of Ghana, and Lagos, the largest city of Nigeria, have significant problems with substandard pharmaceuticals. Both have actively combated the problem in recent years, particularly by screening products on the market using the Global Pharma Health Fund e.V. Minilab protocol.

Major efforts are being made to achieve the goals for malaria control set by the World Health Assembly1 and the Roll Back Malaria partnership,2 including halving the malaria burden by the end of 2010 compared with 2000. Particularly encouraging is the progress in availability of long lasting
insecticide treated mosquito nets.

There were relatively few requests for funding for pharmacovigilance activities, demonstrating a lack of emphasis placed on pharmacovigilance systems in recipient countries.

Malaria pathogens are transmitted to humans by the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. The juvenile stages of these mosquitoes develop in a variety of water bodies and are key targets for vector control campaigns involving the application of larvicides.

Malaria parasites that are sensitive to anti-malarial drugs could evolve to cause more serious illness in people who don't get treated with drugs, researchers have discovered. Scientists found that stressing drug-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum
parasites by exposing them to low levels of anti-malarial drugs makes
them change their behaviour.

IRS has been rekindled in recent
years, as it is increasingly considered to be a key component of
integrated malaria management.
