Cost analysis of school-based intermittent screening and treatment of malaria in Kenya

Thomas L Drake, George Okello, Kiambo Njagi, Katherine E Halliday, Matthew CH Jukes, Lindsay Mangham, Simon Brooker Malaria Journal 2011, 10:273 (20 September 2011)

This paper analyses the costs of intermittent screening and treatment (IST) of malaria in schools on the Kenyan coast.In the current context, IST is a relatively expensive school-based malaria intervention, but costs can be reduced by simplifying the protocole.

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.

Improving the cost-effectiveness of IRS with climate informed health surveillance systems

Eve Worrall, Stephen J Connor, Madeleine C Thomson Malaria Journal 2008, 7:263 (24 December 2008)

The paper provides evidence on two neglected aspects of epidemic malaria: the cost-effectiveness of IRS as a method to prevent malaria where it occurs in its epidemic form and how the efficiency of IRS can be improved by means of climate forecasting.

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.
