Methodology
A framework for assessing the feasibility of malaria elimination Bruno Moonen, Justin M Cohen, Andy J Tatem, Jessica Cohen, Simon I Hay, Oliver Sabot, David L Smith Malaria Journal 2010, 9:322 (11 November 2010) Paper addressing an important and practical problem that is arising with greater frequency as politicians and not programme specialists set programmatic goals for malaria elimination that are potentially far beyond their reach. By describing a framework and process by which programme planners and malaria control experts can more or less objectively assess the likelihood of achieving success in any given setting, they are providing a valuable service to the public health community.
