Epidemiology of malaria in the Taabo health and demographic surveillance system, south-central Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
epidemiology of malaria is essential for the design and implementation of setting-specific control and elimination efforts. In Cote d'Ivoire, new initiatives are underway to reduce the burden of malaria, which [...] which requires high-quality longitudinal data.

that are relevant to the scaling up of continuous delivery of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) for malaria prevention. However, specific contextual factors of relevance to ITN delivery have led implementation
Participatory mapping of target areas to enable operational larval source management to suppress malaria vector mosquitoes in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (Publications)
Half of the population of Africa will soon live in towns and cities where it can be protected from malaria by controlling aquatic stages of mosquitoes. Rigorous but affordable and scaleable methods for mapping [...] identification and inclusion of these key areas, as well as more equal distribution of the workload of malaria control field staff. CONCLUSIONS: The procedure developed enables complete coverage of targeted areas [...] affordable, and requires minimal technical skills. This approach...
