Malaria outbreak along the India-Bhutan border town of Saralpara, Assam, India

CONCLUSION: The outbreak of malaria in Saralpara demonstrates the risk of malaria outbreak in remote and forested areas, with possibility of spill over to the other side of the border. The fact that two countries had excellent inter-country cross-border collaboration and prior commitment thereby preventing further transmission of malaria to Bhutan can serve as a best practice for cross-border control of malaria and other communicable diseases.PMID:37843244 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.383652
