Abstract
Malaria control: tortoises and hares.
Highlights
As described in this issue, Kamya and others measured temporal trends in malaria over a 2 year period in three Ugandan sites with different transmission intensities.[1]
Long-lasting insecticide impregnated net (LLIN) ownership was high at all three sites: 57.5%, 51%, and 78.5%, respectively
Reported LLIN utilization was very high, with over 99% of study participants reporting that they slept under bed nets the night before each visit by the study team
Summary
As described in this issue, Kamya and others measured temporal trends in malaria over a 2 year period in three Ugandan sites with different transmission intensities.[1]. How long will it take to effectively control and eliminate malaria in sub-Saharan Africa? Long-lasting insecticide impregnated net (LLIN) ownership was high at all three sites: 57.5%, 51%, and 78.5%, respectively. Reported LLIN utilization was very high, with over 99% of study participants reporting that they slept under bed nets the night before each visit (every 3 months) by the study team.
