After the flood: Optimal Strategies to Prevent Malaria Epidemics Caused by Severe Flooding
REFNo: HS5041ES
1. Determine the effectiveness of chemoprevention with or without peri-domestic larvicide application to reduce the incidence of P. falciparum malaria after severe flooding. 2. Elucidate the dynamics of vector populations, feeding behaviors, and sporozoite rate in affected villages up to one year after flooding. 3.Evaluate the relative cost-effectiveness of chemoprevention (Aim 3A) and assess social and economic impacts on households.,The objective of this proposal is to evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted, time-limited malaria chemoprevention intervention with and without complementary larval source management (LSM) to reduce excess disease burden in a perennial, high-transmission setting where severe flooding is frequent and relatively predictable. ,
