Increased use of malaria rapid diagnostic tests improves targeting of anti-malarial treatment in rural Tanzania: implications for nationwide rollout of malaria rapid diagnostic tests. [PDF]

, 2012
: BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends parasitological confirmation of all malaria cases. Tanzania is implementing a phased rollout of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for routine use in all levels of care as one strategy to increase

From high to low malaria transmission in Zanzibar—challenges and opportunities to achieve elimination

BMC Medicine, 2019
BackgroundSubstantial global progress in the control of malaria in recent years has led to increased commitment to its potential elimination. Whether this is possible in high transmission areas of sub-Saharan Africa remains unclear. Zanzibar represents a

Spatio-temporal analysis of association between incidence of malaria and environmental predictors of malaria transmission in Nigeria

Scientific Reports, 2019
Malaria still poses a significant threat in Nigeria despite the various efforts to abate its transmission. Certain environmental factors have been implicated to increase the risk of malaria in Nigeria and other affected countries.

High Effective Coverage of Vector Control Interventions in Children After Achieving Low Malaria Transmission in Zanzibar, Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2013
\ud \ud Formerly a high malaria transmission area, Zanzibar is now targeting malaria elimination. A major challenge is to avoid resurgence of malaria, the success of which includes maintaining high effective coverage of vector control interventions such ...

Assessing temporal associations between environmental factors and malaria morbidity at varying transmission settings in Uganda

Malaria Journal, 2016
Background Environmental factors play a major role in transmission of malaria given their relationship to both the development and survival of the mosquito and parasite. The associations between environmental factors and malaria can be used to inform the

Human behaviour and residual malaria transmission in Zanzibar: findings from in-depth interviews and direct observation of community events

Malaria Journal, 2019
Zanzibar has maintained malaria prevalence below 1% for the past decade, yet elimination remains elusive despite high coverage of core vector control interventions.

Environmental and meteorological factors linked to malaria transmission around large dams at three ecological settings in Ethiopia

Malaria Journal, 2019
A growing body of evidence suggests that dams intensify malaria transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the environmental characteristics underpinning patterns in malaria transmission around dams are poorly understood.

Malaria transmission after five years of vector control on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Malaria is endemic with year-round transmission on Bioko Island. The Bioko Island Malaria Control Project (BIMCP) started in 2004 with the aim to reduce malaria transmission and to ultimately eliminate malaria.
