Elimination of Malaria in Southeast Asia (CARB) (Navy)
Abstract
This project seeks to demonstrate that malaria can be eliminated in a specific geographically defined area of endemicity through a comprehensive multi-disciplined approach including enhanced surveillance, operations research to maximize the impact of intervention strategies, and quality improvement of current tools for malaria elimination. The demonstration will focus on Vietnam where multi-drug resistant malaria is prevalent and as such represents a significant threat to US personnel. Additionally the Vietnamese military and Ministry of Health have a high level of interest in malaria control and will collaborate in the malaria elimination demonstration project significantly improving the chances of success of this project.
