Social and cultural aspects of 'malaria' and its control in central Côte d'Ivoire Clémence Essé, Jürg Utzinger, Andres B Tschannen, Giovanna Raso, Constanze Pfeiffer, Stefanie Granado, Benjamin G Koudou, Eliézer K N'Goran, Guéladio Cissé, Olivier Girardin, Marcel Tanner, Brigit Obrist Malaria Journal 2008, 7:224 (30 October 2008) The findings from this cross-sectional household survey in a malaria endemic area of West Africa add to an increasing body of data on community perceptions regarding malaria and fever in different populations, which will be helpful in developing more effective control programmes.
