SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Modeling the cost effectiveness of malaria control interventions in the highlands of western Kenya

PLoS ONE, Volume 9, No. 10, Article e107700, Year 2014

p Conclusions: All the simulated intervention combinations can be considered cost effective in the context of available resources for health in Kenya. Increasing coverage of vector control interventions has a larger simulated impact compared to adding IST to the current implementation strategy, suggesting that transmission in the study area is not at a level to warrant replacing vector control to a school-based screen and treat program. These results have the potential to assist malaria control program managers in the study area in adding new or changing implementation of current interventions.
