It looks at the travel patterns of the residents and visitors to and from the Province, and the views of the residents on the introduction of a routine RDT-based screening system for all visitors and a more informal surveillance by the villagers.

Review
Jo-An Atkinson, Andrew Vallely, Lisa Fitzgerald, Maxine Whittaker, Marcel Tanner Malaria Journal 2011, 10:225 (4 August 2011) This article is part of a collection on Towards malaria... This is a very timely paper as the international malaria control effort has significantly accelerated malaria control regarding planning, resource mobilization and availability of malaria control commodities.

Investigating preferences for mosquito-control technologies in Mozambique with latent class analysis Rachel A Smith, Victoria C Barclay, Jill L Findeis Malaria Journal 2011, 10:200 (21 July 2011) To become widely diffused, end-users need to be included in product development to ensure that preferred attributes or traits are considered. This study demonstrates that end-user preferences can be very different and that one malaria control technology will not satisfy everyone.

However, in order to sustain high effective coverage, there is need for complimentary distribution strategies between mass distribution campaigns.

The study emphasizes the importance of community participation in achieving and sustaining malaria elimination. Approaches focusing exclusively on expectations of individual behaviour change are unlikely to produce substantial and long-term effects in malaria prevention and, instead, comprehensive interventions are needed that take account of the social context.

While there has been much discussion about how long LLINs last, there has been little discussion over which are most acceptable to communities. If the nets are not used, it doesn't matter how long they last. This paper represents a welcome addition to our information on how to select the most appropriate product when implementing and LLIN programmes.
