From <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> outbreak to elimination: lessons learnt from a retrospective analysis of data from Guantang (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria was once a serious public health problem in China, with Plasmodium vivax the major species responsible for more than 90% of local transmission. Following significant integrated malaria control [...] control and elimination programmes, malaria burden declined, and since 2017 China has not recorded any indigenous case.
