The efforts made by Algeria, with the support of the World Health Organisation, have ensured the elimination of indigenous malaria in the north of the country where the majority of the population lives.

Produktbeschreibung
The efforts made by Algeria, with the support of the World Health Organisation, have ensured the elimination of indigenous malaria in the north of the country where the majority of the population lives. Since 1992, no new indigenous case has been detected there. The Saharan Region has benefited from the experience gained in the control of residual foci in the North, and during the 1980s and 1990s a large research and capacity building effort was developed to support the control of residual foci in different Oases. At the end of 2015, only 3 wilayas had reported indigenous or introduced cases during the years 2011-2015: the wilayate of Tamanrasset with the Tinzaouatine outbreak, the wilaya of Ouargla and the wilaya of Ghardaia. These outbreaks are closely linked to trans-Saharan trade and imported cases. Efforts to strengthen epidemiological surveillance and control measures over the next few years should enable Algeria to certify the elimination of the disease throughout the country.
