This selection of online courses provides a comprehensive education in malaria and related infectious diseases, set within the broader frameworks of global health and epidemiology. Courses such as the Global Disease Masterclass and Immunology: The Immune System and Infectious Diseases (both offered ...by Imperial College London on Coursera), explore malaria alongside diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis and emerging infections. Spanning several weeks, they provide insights into disease dynamics, immune responses, and public health interventions, and are suitable for learners from beginner to intermediate levels.
Specialised courses such as 'Medical Entomology' from the Institut Pasteur focus on mosquito vectors and parasite transmission, which are critical to malaria control. Additionally, French-language courses such as 'Le paludisme' from Aix-Marseille Université offer in-depth knowledge of malaria biology, prevention and treatment strategies.

Vector control, alongside case management, remains the most effective approach to controlling and eliminating malaria. Key interventions, such as indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), have significantly reduced malaria transmission in many African countries. This... has enabled some countries to transition from the control phase to the elimination phase.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is committed to eradicating malaria, a disease that continues to cause hundreds of thousands of deaths every year, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.
The ACT Consortium was an international research collaboration dedicated to evaluating the effectiveness, safety and implementation of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) for treating malaria. Operating across multiple countries in Africa and Asia, the consortium conducted over 25 studies... focused on improving malaria case management, drug delivery, diagnostic practices and patient outcomes. Emphasising interdisciplinary research, the consortium generated robust evidence to inform national malaria control policies and global health strategies. This website serves as a comprehensive archive of the consortium's work, providing researchers, policymakers, and programme implementers in global health and infectious disease control with access to protocols, guidance documents, data tools, and peer-reviewed publications.
