ADAPTIVE DESIGN OF URBAN MALARIA CONTROL PROGRAMS Marcia Caldas de Castro Deo Mtasiwa 2 Burton Singer 1 Marcel Tanner 3 Juerg Utzinger 1 Yoichi Yamagata 4 1 Office of Population Research Princeton University 2 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania City Council 3 1 Swiss Tropical Institute 4 Japan International Cooperation Agency CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESSFUL MALARIA CONTROL PROGRAMS i. Environmental management is the central focus, with several interventions/surveillance methods acting simultaneously. ii. 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). iii. 3-5 years were required before a given package of interventions exhibited high level performance. iv. 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. v. Program staff contained people knowledgeable about entomology, hydrology, epidemiology/ecology, and clinical aspects of malaria. vi. The implementation strategy, including the mix of tools employed, was highly idiosyncratic to the particular locality. a) Roan Mine A.Gambie and A.Funestus larval habitats A.Gambie – Open and un-shaded natural or man-made pools of standing water, near rivers and tributaries – Open water tanks and nature wells loosely overgrown with grass A.
