Malaria parasites: elimination is not eradication [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2011
For those of us who participate in the fight against malaria, the present time stands in stark contrast to what we have always known. In comparison with the eve of this century, less than a dozen year ago, there is presently some unanimously accepted good news.

Artemisinin combination therapy mass drug administration in a setting of low malaria endemicity: programmatic coverage and adherence during an observational study in Zanzibar

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Mass drug administration (MDA) appears to be effective in reducing the risk of malaria parasitaemia. This study reports on programmatic coverage and compliance of MDA using artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) in four shehias (smallest ...

How much vector control is needed to achieve malaria elimination? [PDF]

, 2013
Roll Back Malaria's ambitious goals for global malaria reduction by 2015 represent a dilemma for National Malaria Control Programs (NMCPs) that are still far from malaria elimination.

Strong gametocytocidal effect of methylene blue-based combination therapy against falciparum malaria [PDF]

, 2009
With the availability of new preventive and curative interventions, global malaria control has been strengthened significantly in recent years. Drugs effective in reducing malaria gametocytaemia might contribute to local elimination and possible long ...

Insecticide-treated nets mass distribution campaign: benefits and lessons in Zambia

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Zambia was an early adopter of insecticide-treated nets strategy in 2001, and policy for mass distribution with long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) in 2005. Since then, the country has implemented mass distribution supplemented with routine

Review of mass drug administration for malaria and its operational challenges. [PDF]

, 2015
Mass drug administration (MDA) was a component of many malaria programs during the eradication era, but later was seldomly deployed due to concerns regarding efficacy and feasibility and fear of accelerating drug resistance.

The use of spatial and genetic tools to assess Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Lusaka, Zambia between 2011 and 2015

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Zambia has set itself the ambitious target of eliminating malaria by 2021. To continue tracking transmission to zero, new interventions, tools and approaches are required.

A semi-field evaluation in Thailand of the use of human landing catches (HLC) versus human-baited double net trap (HDN) for assessing the impact of a volatile pyrethroid spatial repellent and pyrethroid-treated clothing on Anopheles minimus landing

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background The mosquito landing rate measured by human landing catches (HLC) is the conventional endpoint used to evaluate the impact of vector control interventions on human-vector exposure.

The role of research in viral disease eradication and elimination programs: Lessons for malaria eradication [PDF]

, 2011
By examining the role research has played in eradication or regional elimination initiatives for three viral diseases-smallpox, poliomyelitis, and measles-we derive nine cross-cutting lessons applicable to malaria eradication.

Zoonotic malaria requires new policy approaches to malaria elimination

Nature Communications, 2023
Increasing numbers of human zoonotic malaria cases are reported globally. Current malaria control measures cannot eliminate transmission from wildlife reservoirs, leaving many countries with no pathway to malaria elimination certification. New policies are needed to redefine elimination goals and certification.
