The Lancet Microbe

Global challenges and opportunities for malaria control were perfectly outlined in The Lancet Microbe's Editorial,1 emphasising the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; growing political instability and violence; and socioeconomic, demographic, and geographical inequalities on malaria burden. Another serious threat to the global health effort in Africa is rapidly developing: the emergence and spread of the invasive malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi (An stephensi).2 An stephensi is a competent vector of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum and a probable vector of zoonotic malaria parasites (appendix p 1).
