Summary

Background:

Half of the world's population is at risk of malaria. Malaria is a disease that affects many people in Mali and other parts of Africa. It is caused by germs spread by mosquito bites. Malaria may be mild. But it can also be serious or can lead to death if it is not diagnosed and treated promptly. Researchers want to learn more about the disease so they can develop new approaches to malaria control.

Objective:

To collect data on how mosquitoes spread malaria and how many people get malaria in the community by comparing different areas, seasons, and years.

Eligibility:

Residents of a certain area of Mali who are of any age

Design:

Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history.

All participants will have at least 1 visit. They will answer questions about their health and malaria. They may have a physical exam. They will have blood collected.

Some participants will have 1 visit every month for 3 years. They will repeat the procedures above.

These participants will have mosquitoes collected in their home monthly. They may be able to catch some of the mosquitoes alive or may need to use a spray to kill the mosquitoes. Participants in this part of the study can be up to 65 years old.

Some participants will also have about 60 mosquitoes directly feed on their arm or leg for 15-20 minutes each month. These participants must be 5-65 years old.
