The world's first #malaria vaccine is saving lives 💪

Almost 1.5 million children at high risk in #Ghana 🇬🇭, #Kenya 🇰🇪 & #Malawi 🇲🇼 have received their first dose. The vaccine is safe and effective 🔗http://bit.ly/3H9B2cU #WorldMalariaDay #VaccinesWork

In the 1960s a young scientist named Tu Youyou was asked to head a research group searching for antimalarials among traditional Chinese medicines.

She discovered artemisinin which has since treated millions.

It's #WorldMalariaDay!

We are reminded that malaria is still a significant public health threat, particularly to children under the age of 5, who make up to 80% of the 96% of malaria deaths in Africa.

AI has played a crucial role in the early detection and control of this health menace as evidenced by recent research:

1. A Malaria disease detection system that uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs)>https://bit.ly/MalariaDetection_CNN

2. Deep Machine Learning Model that balance trade-offs for Malaria Elimination in resource-constrained locations>https://bit.ly/DeepML4Malaria

3. Machine learning applied to whole genome sequence data for geographical classification of malaria parasites>https://bit.ly/ML4MalariaClass

Increasing drug resistance, invasion of #mosquitoes & #climate_change: #Malaria remains one of the most dangerous diseases in the world, especially for children under 5. This knowledge drives our cooperation partners & us @BNITM_de.

Today is World Malaria Day, a preventable & treatable disease that however continues to have devastating impacts worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, there were more than 600000 malaria deaths
in 2021 and more than 240 million cases.

Some of the applications we work on contribute to the fight against malaria. Hoping for a near future when they won't be needed any more: #EndMalaria

On this world malaria day, take measures to keep the mosquitoes away and do not allow them to breed nearby. Stay safe and away from mosquitoes 🦟. World Malaria Day!

In 2021, around 247 million cases of malaria were reported and about 619,000 people died.

Four African countries accounted for just over half of all malaria deaths worldwide: Nigeria (31.3%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (12.6%), Tanzania (4.1%) and Niger (3.9%).

#WorldMalariaDay | The number of malaria cases in India has fallen by a staggering 86% since 2015 and there has been a 79% reduction in the number of deaths caused by the disease between 2015 and 2021, according to a report by non-profit organisation.

Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 95% of the world’s malaria cases. The disease kills an African child every 60 seconds.

But malaria is preventable and treatable.
