Tuning the package of interventions to minimize the number of malaria cases per year is an adaptive process involving ongoing performance evaluation of each of the tools and the outcome measure (interventions are adjusted over time in response to these evaluations).
3-5 years were required before a given package of interventions exhibited high level performance.
3-5 years were required before a given package of interventions exhibited high level performance.
Diagnosis of malaria cases, anti-malarial drugs, bed-nets, and the use of chemical insecticides (following the discovery of DDT) were necessary but not sufficient (for success) components of the program.
Program staff contained people knowledgeable about entomology, hydrology, epidemiology/ecology, and clinical aspects of malaria.
The implementation strategy, including the mix of tools employed, was highly idiosyncratic to the particular locality.
