Vector composition, abundance, biting patterns and malaria transmission intensity in Madang, Papua New Guinea: assessment after 7 years of an... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: A malaria control programme based on distribution of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) and artemisinin combination therapy began in Papua New Guinea in 2009. After implementation of [...] of the programme, substantial reductions in vector abundance and malaria transmission intensity occurred. The research reported here investigated whether these reductions remained after seven years of [...] Anopheles per screen-night and 2.2-31.1 Anopheles per person-night), and spatially...

Malaria indicator surveys are an important source of data on disease burden (parasite prevalence, fever prevalence, etc), and coverage of malaria prevention and case management interventions, particularly [...] decisions. The objective of this mandate of Global Fund was to assess the extent to which the Malawi malaria indicator survey 2021 activities were planned, coordinated, and executed according to the standard
