Eliminating Malaria from Hispaniola: a Binational Effort

Biologically meaningful coverage indicators for eliminating malaria transmission

Mosquitoes, which evade contact with long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual sprays, by feeding outdoors or upon animals, are primary malaria vectors in many tropical countries. They can also dominate residual transmission where high coverage of these front-line vector control measures is achieved. Complementary strategies, which extend insecticide coverage beyond houses and humans, ...

India’s approach to eliminating Plasmodium falciparum malaria: A modeling perspective

Approximately one-third of the world’s population that is at risk to malaria lives in India. Plasmodium falciparum, a deadly form of malaria, accounts for about 50% percent of the cases there. Since 1940s India has used a number of programmes to combat the disease with variable success. Since 1998 the total numbers of malaria cases, and in particular P. falciparum cases, have been steadily decl...

Estimating Geographical Variation in the Risk of Zoonotic Plasmodium knowlesi Infection in Countries Eliminating Malaria

BACKGROUND Infection by the simian malaria parasite, Plasmodium knowlesi, can lead to severe and fatal disease in humans, and is the most common cause of malaria in parts of Malaysia. Despite being a serious public health concern, the geographical distribution of P. knowlesi malaria risk is poorly understood because the parasite is often misidentified as one of the human malarias. Human cases h...
