Insecticide resistance is a serious threat to the continued effectiveness of insecticide-based malaria vector control measures, such as long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS). This paper describes trends dynamics insecticide its underlying mechanisms from annual monitoring surveys on Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) populations conducted across mainland Tanzania 2004 2020.The World Health Organization (WHO) standard protocols were used assess...
Background Despite high coverage of malaria interventions, elimination in Zanzibar remains elusive, with the annual number cases increasing gradually over last 3 years. Objective The aims study were to (1) assess spatiotemporal dynamics between 2015 and 2020 (2) identify hotspots that would allow develop an epidemiological stratification for more effective granular intervention targeting. Methods In this study, we analysed data routinely collected by Zanzibar’s Malaria Case Notification...
Testing and treating asymptomatic populations have the potential to reduce population's parasite reservoir malaria transmission. Zanzibar's case notification (MCN) platform collects detailed sociodemographic epidemiological data from all confirmed cases inform programmatic decision-making. We describe design operationalization process of other surveillance resources that are enabling progress toward elimination. The MCN consists an interactive short message service (SMS) system for...
Over the past two decades, Zanzibar substantially reduced malaria burden. As decreases, sustainable improvements in control interventions may increasingly depend on accurate knowledge of risk factors to further target interventions. This study aimed investigate associated with infection Zanzibar.Surveillance data from Zanzibar's Malaria Case Notification system August 2012 and December 2019 were analyzed. collects cases passively detected reported by all health facilities (index cases),...
Tanzania has made remarkable progress in reducing malaria burden and aims to transition from control sub-national elimination. In 2013, electronic weekly monthly reporting platforms using the District Health Information System 2 (DHIS2) were introduced. Weekly was implemented through mobile phone-based Integrated Disease Surveillance Response (eIDSR) platform progressively scaled-up 67 7471 (100%) public private health facilities between 2013 2020. This study describes roll-out large-scale...
