Reactive strategies for reducing malaria transmission in elimination settings

In June 2022, WHO issued new recommendations for countries in the final phase of malaria elimination. Some of these recommendations are also important for countries that have eliminated malaria and are working to prevent the disease from recurring. In addition to “mass” strategies applied to entire populations and “targeted” strategies for high-risk groups, the new WHO recommendations include three “reactive” strategies, to be triggered in response to confirmed malaria cases.
