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.

Quality of services delivered were similar to those seen in rural CCMm settings. Urban CCMm is feasible, but it struggles against other sources of established healthcare providers. Innovation is required by everyone to make it viable.

Barriers to prompt and effective malaria treatment among the poorest population in Kenya Jane Chuma, Vincent Okungu, Catherine Molyneux Malaria Journal 2010, 9:144 (27 May 2010) Evidence suggests that the poorest populations benefit less from malaria control interventions, and are less likely to seek prompt and effective treatment.

This article describes how a community directed strategy can be used to deliver doxycycline-a drug with the added advantage of killing both adult and microfilarial stages of O. volvulus without any effect on L. loa.
