The changing risk of Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection in Africa: 2000-10: a spatial and temporal analysis of transmission intensity
Description: Over a decade ago, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership was launched. Since then there has been unprecedented investment in malaria control. In this paper the authors examined the change in malaria transmission intensity during the period 2000-10 in Africa. Substantial reductions in malaria transmission have been achieved in endemic countries in Africa over the period 2000-10. However, 57% of the population in 2010 continued to live in areas where transmission remains moderate to intense. [Source: The Lancet]
