A variety of violent and destructive incidents were experienced by FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas). It was a struggle to pursue an epidemiological analysis due to continuing conflict and Talibanization. Clinical isolates were collected from Bajaur, Mohmand, Khyber, Orakzai agencies from May 2017 to May 2018. For Giemsa staining, full blood EDTA blood samples have been collected from symptomatic participants. Malaria-positive microscopy isolates were spotted on filter papers for future Plasmodial molecular detection by nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) of small subunit ribosomal ribonucleic acid (ssrRNA) genes specific primers. Since reconfirming the nPCR, a malariometric study of 762 patients found 679 positive malaria cases. Plasmodium vivax was 523 (77%), Plasmodium falciparum 121 (18%), 35 (5%) were with mixed-species infection (P. vivax plus P. falciparum), and 83 were declared negative by PCR. Among the five agencies of FATA, Khyber agency has the highest malaria incidence (19%) with followed by P. vivax (19%) and P. falciparum (4.1%). In contrast, Kurram has about (14%), including (10.8%) P. vivax and (2.7%) P. falciparum cases, the lowest malaria epidemiology. Surprisingly, no significant differences in the distribution of mixed-species infection among all five agencies. P. falciparum and P. vivax were two prevalent FATA malaria species in Pakistan’s war-torn area. To overcome this rising incidence of malaria, this study recommends that initiating malaria awareness campaigns in school should be supported by public health agencies and malaria- related education locally, targeting children and parents alike. Keywords: FATA, Malaria, Pakistan, Molecular Epidemiology, Plasmodium, falciparum, vivax. Resumo Os conflitos militares têm sido obstáculos significativos na detecção e tratamento de doenças infecciosas devido à diminuição da infraestrutura de saúde pública, resultando na endemicidade da malária. Uma variedade de incidentes violentos e destrutivos foi vivida pelas FATA (áreas tribais administradas pelo governo federal). Foi uma luta buscar uma análise epidemiológica devido ao conflito contínuo e à talibanização. Isolados clínicos foram coletados de agências Bajaur, Mohmand, Khyber e Orakzai, de maio de 2017 a maio de 2018. Para a coloração de Giemsa, amostras de sangue completo com EDTA foram coletadas de participantes sintomáticos. Isolados de microscopia positivos para malária foram colocados em papéis de filtro para futura detecção molecular plasmódica por reação em cadeia da polimerase aninhada (nPCR) de primers específicos de genes de subunidade ribossômica de ácido ribonucleico (ssrRNA). Desde a reconfirmação do nPCR, um estudo malariométrico de 762 pacientes encontrou 679 casos positivos de malária. Plasmodium vivax foi 523 (77%), Plasmodium falciparum 121 (18%), 35 (5%) eram com infecção de espécies mistas (P. vivax mais P. falciparum) e 83 foram declarados negativos por PCR. Entre as cinco agências da FATA, a agência Khyber tem a maior incidência de malária (19%), seguida por P. vivax (19%) e P. falciparum (4,1%). Em contraste, Kurram tem cerca de 14%, incluindo 10,8% casos de P. vivax e 2,7% P. falciparum, a epidemiologia de malária mais baixa. Surpreendentemente, não há diferenças significativas na distribuição da infecção de espécies mistas entre todas as cinco agências. P. falciparum e P. vivax foram duas espécies prevalentes de malária FATA na área devastada pela guerra no Paquistão. Para superar essa incidência crescente de malária, este estudo recomenda que o início de campanhas de conscientização sobre a malária na escola deve ser apoiado por agências de saúde pública e educação relacionada com a malária localmente, visando crianças e pais.

Introduction introduce a successful antimalarial awareness campaign, especially in FATA and Balochistan. Malaria is the world’s most common arthropod- FATA covering about 27,220 km with approximately borne disease transmitted by the protozoa of the genus 4.45 million population, has a weak public health system Plasmodium responsible for the death of about 0.43 million and infrastructure due to political instability, militancy, deaths annually. About 228 million malaria cases, including and unrest situation for more than a decade (Nawaz 208 million at-risk persons, were reported globally in 2019, and de Borchgrave, 2009). Dreadfully, no molecular with around 0.7 million only from Pakistan. According to epidemiological experiments have been performed to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is startling that assess malaria’s actual status in the local population. Pakistan is one of the seven top countries in the Eastern This study provides the molecular epidemiology baseline Mediterranean, with P. vivax and P. falciparum as the parasitological information of malaria incidence and species prevalent species comprising 98% of malaria prevalence. distribution among different age groups and gender in five Moreover, the prevalence of Plasmodium species in this agencies of FATA, Pakistan. area varies from 75 to 85% P. vivax, 15 to 25% P. falciparum, and about 1% of both species’ mixed infections (Khan et al., 2020; Qureshi et al., 2020b; Khattak et al., 2013a). 2. Materials and Methods Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Region (FATA) was second on Pakistan’s malaria-metric scale, where FATA has a unique historical, political, and traditional biological, where ecological, environmental and human status since British times, and this system was inherited by Pakistan and is still working almost similarly with intervention primarily affects outbreaks of infectious a population of about 4.5 million.

However, by the end of parasite species. P. falciparum has a single peak that comes the military operations in FATA, an upsurge of malaria after the summer season. In contrast, P. vivax has two peaks was reported. According to a study, P. falciparum, which in a year in subtropical climates, which results in a malaria is already prevalent in Afghan refugees, and due to the relapse attack (Rowland et al., 1997). P. vivax reaches its massive influx of these migrants, a spike in the prevalence peak during the summertime, i.e., from June to September, of P. falciparum was observed in Pakistan (Murtaza et al., whereas P. falciparum is responsible for the disease during 2004; Sheikh et al., 2005). Few studies documented low late summer and winter, i.e., from August to December. immunity for refugees, rendering them more vulnerable In P. vivax, there is relapse peak seen due to transmission to malaria (Bouma et al., 1996; Khattak et al., 2013a). in the preceding year in the early summer (April to June).

Alan Kronstadt Specialist in South Asian Affairs July 1, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33498 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Pakistan-U.S. Relations Summary A stable, democratic, prosperous Pakistan actively combating religious militancy is considered vital to U.S. interests. U.S. concerns regarding Pakistan include regional and global terrorism; Afghan stability; democratization and human rights protection; the ongoing Kashmir problem and Pakistan-India tensions; and economic development. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship marked by periods of both cooperation and discord was transformed by the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. Top U.S. officials praise Pakistan for its ongoing cooperation, although long-held doubts exist about Islamabad’s commitment to some core U.S. interests. Pakistan is identified as a base for terrorist groups and their supporters operating in Kashmir, India, and Afghanistan. Pakistan’s army has conducted unprecedented and, until recently, largely ineffectual counterinsurgency operations in the country’s western tribal areas, where Al Qaeda operatives and pro-Taliban militants are said to enjoy “safe haven.” U.S. officials increasingly are concerned that indigenous religious extremists represent a serious threat to the stability of the Pakistani state. The United States strongly encourages maintenance of a bilateral cease-fire and a continuation of substantive dialogue between Pakistan and neighboring India, which have fought three wars since 1947. A perceived Pakistan-India nuclear arms race has been the focus of U.S.

    Un Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Merged Districts Support Programme Qualitative Research Finding

    UN KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA MERGED DISTRICTS SUPPORT PROGRAMME QUALITATIVE RESEARCH FINDINGS LOCAL GRIEVANCES AND COMPLAINT REGISTRATION MECHANISMS May – June 2019 Verso ConsultIng Pvt. Ltd 1 General FindIngs The UNRCO team has undertaken a research exercise to inform the back-end structure of the programme’s Grievance Redress Mechanism. The qualitative enquiry has been conducted in a selection of 15 tehsils/sub-divisions across 5 NMDs (Khyber, Kurram, Orakzai, North Waziristan, and South Waziristan) with three tehsils selected per district. Through 30 focus group discussions (15 male and 15 female) and 30 key informant interviews the research team has investigated the following: a) status of mobility for different target groups; b) patterns of vulnerability and exclusion; c) access to social and economic services; d) various types of grievances; e) channels of registering complaints; and f) perceptions of the forthcoming transition in rule of law. The research found that mobility is generally problematic for a majority of the population due to lack of transport facilities and fuel service points, however mobility for women is disproportionately restricted across 4 of 5 districts (Khyber being the exception). Additionally in areas with active sectarian conflict (Orakzai and Kurram) mobility is severely restricted for religious minorities and women. While most respondents reported monthly household income under PKR 15,000/- and high poverty remains an excluding factor, exclusion from social and public participation is also a function of gender, disability, and age. Similarly, in access to services, schools, hospitals, rural and remote populations are disproportionately excluded. Local health centers/ BHUs are mostly unreliable in terms of service capacity – those who can afford the travel expense rely on health centers in the district headquarters or travel to big cities.
