Case investigation and reactive case detection for malaria elimination in northern Senegal.
Background
Malaria case investigation and reactive case detection are critical components in malaria programme pre-elimination and elimination phases. Given progress in malaria control in recent years, many control programmes in sub-Saharan Africa will soon be required to strengthen systems for surveillance and response in order to further drive transmission to zero. Yet few practical experiences are available to guide control programmes in designing surveillance system components in low transmission, pre-elimination, and elimination phases. This paper presents results from a 2012 pilot case investigation and reactive case detection activity undertaken in a low-transmission district of northern Senegal. Findings from this pilot project can guide control programme measures to modify and strengthen surveillance for elimination in similar contexts.
