The effect of malaria control on Plasmodium falciparum in Africa between 2000 and 2015 (2015, background): “In total, we estimated that malaria control interventions have averted 663 (542–753) million clinical cases since 2000, of which 68 (62-73)%, 22 (17-28)% and 10 (5-14)% were contributed by ITNs, ACTs, and IRS, respectively (Fig.”
Reducing Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Transmission in Africa: A Model-Based Evaluation of Intervention Strategies (2010, background): “These include new LLINs, which have increased killing effects on the vectors compared to traditional nets and are more durable [21–25], and ACTs, which, through their gametocytocidal effect, can impact transmission from humans to vectors [26,27].”
Community health workers in low-, middle-, and high-income countries: an overview of their history, recent evolution, and current effectiveness. (2014, background): “The effectiveness of the distribution and utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets in endemic areas in reducing under5 mortality has been well established (68).”
Impact of Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapy and Insecticide-Treated Nets on Malaria Burden in Zanzibar (2007, result): “Major reductions in crude under-five mortality has also been observed in previous randomized intervention studies with ITNs [6,7] and community-based malaria treatment [15,16], but the reduction rates (between 25% and 40”

A World Malaria Map: Plasmodium falciparum Endemicity in 2007 (2009, background): “This risk class poses the largest technical and financial obstacles to effective disease control, with the threshold endemicity value of PfPR2-10 = 40% proposed [17] as a realistic maximum level of transmission intensity above which the mass distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) alone [64,”
Host preferences of blood-feeding mosquitoes. (2013, background): “The use of ITNs and indoor residual spraying (IRS) reduce the number of malaria cases and deaths (67, 107), and these were adopted by the World Health Organization as the most valuable malaria interventions (151).”
A new world malaria map: Plasmodium falciparum endemicity in 2010 (2011, background): “This risk class poses the largest technical and financial obstacles to effective disease control, with the threshold endemicity value of PfPR2-10 = 40% proposed [17] as a realistic maximum level of transmission intensity above which the mass distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) alone [64,”
A Research Agenda to Underpin Malaria Eradication (2011, background): “As described in more detail in the article by the malERA Consultative Group on Drugs [14], such drugs will need to be used both in stable transmission areas and in complex urban or remote rural areas, with poorly functioning health systems where concerted campaigns may be the only way of achieving h”
