Malaria is a major cause of death in tropical and sub-tropical countries presenting about 627,000 deaths and 241 million cases in the world. Malaria is still an important public health problem that needs to be more effectively controlled. Delays in diagnosis and treatment are responsible for the most deaths in many countries. Moreover, in most of malaria-endemic countries, the lack of resources is a huge barrier to reliable and timely diagnosis.
Knowing that it is a global priority to reduce the high malaria burden and the long-term malaria eradication, this research topic aims to describe the current challenges of malaria transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and future eradication. Original research, reviews, and mini-reviews articles in the malaria field are welcomed, especially focused on top priorities, challenges, and gaps that may help inform endeavors to eliminate malaria.
