Project Description
The goal of the project is to examine the effects of two key interventions, Indoor residual spraying and treatment of populations with antimalarial drugs, on prevalence of low-level malaria infections (which are not detectable by standard malaria microscopy, but may contribute to transmission), measures of host immunity and the development of drug resistance. Further, considering sustainability, we will evaluate the impact of withdrawing the interventions on these same outcomes.
