Seroepidemiological and parasitological evaluation of the heterogeneity of malaria infection in the Gambia
Background As countries make progress in malaria control, transmission may be reduced to
such an extent that few cases occur, and identification of the remaining foci of transmission …

Health centre surveys as a potential tool for monitoring malaria epidemiology by area and over time
Background Presently, many malaria control programmes use health facility data to evaluate
the impact of their interventions. Facility-based malaria data, although useful, have problems …
