New targeted policies are needed as numerous countries have placed malaria elimination on their public health agenda for 2030. In this context, developing national health information systems and collecting information at sufficiently precise scales (at least at the week' and village' scales), is of strategic importance. In a recent study, Macharia et al. relied on extensive prevalence survey data to develop malaria risk maps for Kenya, including uncertainty assessments specifically designed to support decision-making by the National Malaria Control Program. Targeting local persistent transmission or epidemiologic changes is necessary to maintain efficient control, but also to deploy sustainable elimination strategies against identified transmission bottlenecks such as the reservoir of subpatent infections. Such decision-making tools are paramount to allocate resources based on sound scientific evidence and public health priorities.Please see related article: specialized Sustainable malaria control spatiotemporal analysis bottleneck strategies malaria reservoir Epidemiological Information System KENYA 052 020 16 art. 226 [4 p.] 2018 1741-7015 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010074479 10.1186/s12916-018-1224-2 1741-7015 [F B010074479] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010074479 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers18-12/010074479.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2019-01-10 2023-07-11 fdi:010074479 fre
