World Malaria Day 2023

World Malaria Day takes place on April 25th each year and aims to raise public awareness about the global malaria epidemic and ongoing efforts to eliminate the disease.

In recognition of this important day, Frontiers is launching a new article collection to coincide with the occasion. This presents an opportunity not only to acknowledge new and exciting research in the treatment and prevention of malaria but also to consider the importance of social and healthcare policy and education in combatting the disease.

This Frontiers in Parasitology Research Topic is focused on highlighting the importance of prevention, treatment, development of new drugs, and healthcare policies. Topics that may be covered in this collection include, but are not limited to:

• Development of new antimalarial treatments

• Impact of Malaria on the immune system

• Healthcare policy

• Preventative measures

• Clinical perspectives

• Environmental impacts

• Antimalarial drug pipeline

Keywords: malaria, healthcare, epidemic, global, parasite, parasite vectors

Important note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
