Review
Costs and cost-effectiveness of malaria control interventions - a systematic review Michael T White, Lesong Conteh, Richard Cibulskis, Azra C Ghani Malaria Journal 2011, 10:337 (3 November 2011) This paper covers a systematic review on the costs and cost-effectiveness of malaria control interventions. The interventions covered include insecticide-treated bed nets Indoor residual spraying and Intermittent preventative treatment, diagnostic testing and appropriate treatment.

Costs and cost-effectiveness of vector control in Eritrea using insecticide-treated bed nets Joshua O Yukich, Mehari Zerom, Tewolde Ghebremeskel, Fabrizio Tediosi, Christian Lengeler Malaria Journal 2009, 8:51 (30 March 2009) This study addresses the cost effectiveness of ITN delivery through routine public sector delivery systems in Eritrea, a country often used as an example of a success story in terms of the outcomes achieved and it was important to
know whether it is also cost effective.

Costs and consequences of large-scale vector control for malaria Joshua O Yukich, Christian Lengeler, Fabrizio Tediosi, Nick Brown, Jo-Ann Mulligan, Des Chavasse, Warren Stevens, John Justino, Lesong Conteh, Rajendra Maharaj, Marcy Erskine, Dirk H Mueller, Virginia Wiseman, Tewolde Ghebremeskel, Mehari Zerom, Catherine Goodman, David McGuire, Juan Urrutia, Fana Sakho, Kara Hanson, Brian Sharp Malaria Journal 2008, 7:258 (17 December 2008) Five ITN programmes and two IRS programmes were compared using a standardized costing methodology. Both ITNs and IRS are highly cost-effective vector control strategies. ITNs are more cost-effective than IRS for highly endemic settings, especially if high ITN coverage can be achieved with some demographic targeting.

Matilda Temperley, Dirk H Mueller, J Kiambo Njagi, Willis Akhwale, Siân E Clarke, Matthew CH Jukes, Benson BA Estambale, Simon Brooker Malaria Journal 2008, 7:196 (30 September 2008) School health and nutrition programmes have an important role in improving the health and educational outcomes of children. This is the first study which examines the cost-effectiveness of a school-based malaria intervention. Given that as much as 20% of mortality in school-age children in sub-Saharan Africa is due to malaria, the findings and conclusions from this paper are of interest to those inside and outside the malaria field.

Costs and effects of the Tanzanian national voucher scheme for insecticide-treated nets Jo-Ann Mulligan, Joshua Yukich, Kara Hanson Malaria Journal 2008, 7:32 (15 February 2008) The debate continues to rage regarding the relative roles of different models of ITN delivery and, in most studies, the relative cost effectiveness of each is difficult to compare in the absence of reliable data. This paper presents the first study to explore a scaled up voucher model.
