Targeting malaria in high-risk populations in low endemic regions in northern Namibia
BACKGROUND: Agricultural worksites are rarely targeted by malaria control programmes, yet may play a role in maintaining local transmission due to workers' high mobility, low intervention coverage and occupational exposures. METHODS: A quasi-experimental controlled intervention study was carried out in farming and cattle herding populations in northern Namibia to evaluate the impact of a targeted malaria intervention package. Eight health facilit…
Namibia’s path toward malaria elimination
In addition to allocating sufficient human resources to vector control activities, developing a greater emphasis on surveillance will be central to the ongoing program shift from control to elimination, particularly in light of the malaria importation challenges experienced in the northern border regions. While overall program resources may continue on a downward trajectory, the program will be well positioned to actively eliminate the remaining …
