Abstract As malaria control programmes concentrate their efforts towards elimination a better understanding of transmission patterns at fine spatial resolution units becomes necessary. Defining that consider heterogeneity, human movement and migration will help to set up achievable milestones guide the creation efficient operational administrative units. Using combination genetic epidemiological data we defined unit as area contributing 95% cases diagnosed catchment facility located in town...

To assess cost-effectiveness of conventional cytology and HPV DNA testing for cervical-cancer screening in Colombia.The National Cancer Institute Colombia (NCIC) 2007 developed a Markov model on the natural history cervical cancer; no screening, cytology, were compared. Only direct costs used. Outcomes comprise cancer mortality, years life saved, lifetime costs. Discounted incremental ratios estimated sensitivity analyses conducted key parameters.Depending strategy 69-81% mortality reduction...
