Description
Phibansuk Lyngdoh and co-authors study malaria in Meghalaya, a state in northeast India where the disease spreads all year and peaks with the rains. People with malaria-like illness at six health sites in three districts gave blood samples between 2018 and 2021. Just over a thousand people took part.
About four in a hundred tested positive, most with the more dangerous parasite kind. Rates varied sharply by district, from under two in a hundred to over twelve. Having had malaria in the past year was the strongest risk mark. Being outdoors before bed or early in the morning also raised the risk. The authors call for local plans shaped to such patterns.
