Abstract
Making sense of consensus: comparative modelling of malaria interventions.
Highlights
The global burden of malaria has been greatly reduced through, for example, vector control,[1] the disease is still a major concern and there is renewed interest in mass drug administration (MDA) as an additional control intervention
Several approaches to modelling malaria epidemiology exist, and Brady and colleagues present a model comparison analysis done by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundationfunded Malaria Modelling Consortium (MMC) on the effectiveness of MDA in different settings, identifying the most important determinants of MDA effectiveness
The study provides much needed support to researchers responsible for quantitative analysis in the service of malaria control programmes, who are often faced with a plethora of mathematical models, run under non-standardised sets of interventions, and reporting different outcomes
Summary
The global burden of malaria has been greatly reduced through, for example, vector control,[1] the disease is still a major concern and there is renewed interest in mass drug administration (MDA) as an additional control intervention.
