To assess whether indoor residual spraying can provide additional protection against clinical malaria over current best practice of long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets in The Gambia: study protocol for a two-armed cluster-randomised trial. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Recently, there has been mounting interest in scaling-up vector control against malaria in Africa. It needs to be determined if indoor residual spraying (IRS with DDT) will provide significant marginal protection against malaria over current ...

Costs and cost-effectiveness of malaria reactive case detection using loop-mediated isothermal amplification compared to microscopy in the low transmission setting of Aceh Province, Indonesia

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Reactive case detection (RACD) is an active case finding strategy where households and neighbours of a passively identified case (index case) are screened to identify and treat additional malaria infections with the goal of gathering ...

A micro-epidemiological analysis of febrile malaria in Coastal Kenya showing hotspots within hotspots. [PDF]

, 2014
Malaria transmission is spatially heterogeneous. This reduces the efficacy of control strategies, but focusing control strategies on clusters or 'hotspots' of transmission may be highly effective.

Occupations at high risk for malaria in Zanzibar: a case–control study, may–august 2023

Malaria Journal
Background In malaria elimination settings, cases tend to cluster geographically and occur among certain subpopulations. Clustering is often related to specific factors such as occupation or mobility, which increase an individual’s risk for malaria ...
