A timely study that provides valuable lessons for intervention leading up to malaria elimination. The fact that surveillance efforts will not be easy - even on an island - challenge all in the malaria community to think about realistic targets - especially in light of the higher that previously estimated levels of malaria mortality.

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.
