Project Title: Investigating the Magnitude and Drivers of persistent plasmodium infection in Zanzibar
Project Description: The main objectives of this project is to quantify and characterize existing residual Plasmodium transmission in Zanzibar, in communities where LLINs and IRS are already widely used, but where transmission still persists. We will investigate the actual magnitude of residual malaria transmission and characterize it on the basis of where and when it occurs, as well as its main environmental and anthropological determinants.In short-term, we will deliver a set of profile and quantifications of residual... The main objectives of this project is to quantify and characterize existing residual Plasmodium transmission in Zanzibar, in communities where LLINs and IRS are already widely used, but where transmission still persists. We will investigate the actual magnitude of residual malaria transmission and characterize it on the basis of where and when it occurs, as well as its main environmental and anthropological determinants.In short-term, we will deliver a set of profile and quantifications of residual malaria transmission and its associated determinants in selected sites in Zanzibar.This information will inform improved targeting of the remaining malaria in the region.
