Controlling malaria in southern Africa

Abstract

Although the incidence of malaria in South Africa has decreased dramatically
over the past 5 years, it remains one of the major public health problems within the
southern African region. Efforts to control malaria are generally two pronged: the
mosquitoes are the focus of vector control interventions, while the parasites are targeted by means of case management.
