Parasite Transmission Hotspots Are Key To Eliminating Malaria - 2 Feb 2012

PHILADEPHIA -- A way of making malaria control more effective was proposed at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene annual conference in Philadelphia, namely: to target the most concentrated areas of infection -- known as malaria hot-spots. Jacklin Mosha from Tanzania, and Teun Bousema from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine discussed the evidence for using this strategy with Peter Goodwin.

A video on malaria elimination efforts is also available featuring the researchers and others from the School - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItHbcRcp8ic&feature=youtu.be
