Background Although the molecular basis of resistance to a number of common antimalarial
drugs is well known, a geographic description of the emergence and dispersal of resistance …

Background In low malaria-endemic settings, screening and treatment of individuals in close
proximity to index cases, also known as reactive case detection (RACD), is practised for …

As malaria transmission declines, it becomes increasingly important to monitor changes in
malaria incidence rather than prevalence. Here, a spatio-temporal model was used to …

The long-term goal of the global effort to tackle malaria is national and regional elimination
and eventually eradication. Fine scale multi-temporal mapping in low malaria transmission …

Background Reactive case detection (RACD) around passively detected malaria cases is a
strategy to identify and treat hotspots of malaria transmission. This study investigated the …

Background Namibia is now ready to begin mass drug administration of praziquantel and
albendazole against schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths, respectively. Although …

Background Countries aiming for malaria elimination need to define their malariogenic
potential, of which measures of both receptive and current transmission are major …

Introduction To interrupt malaria transmission, strategies must target the parasite reservoir in
both humans and mosquitos. Testing of community members linked to an index case …

Background Historical evidence of the levels of intervention scale up and its relationships to
changing malaria risks provides important contextual information for current ambitions to …

Abstract Background Although the Republic of Namibia has significantly reduced malaria
transmission, regular outbreaks and persistent transmission impede progress towards …
