Targeted spraying to prevent malaria in low-transmission setting halves cost of current practice

News release: Targeted spraying to prevent malaria in low-transmission setting halves cost of current practice – Wits University

Original study: Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of reactive, targeted indoor residual spraying for malaria control in low-transmission settings: a cluster-randomised, non-inferiority trial in South Africa – The Lancet

Commentary on Twitter

New paper from @davidjbath @CatKPitt and colleagues @LSHTM_CHIL @LSHTM_malaria

Targeting spraying for malaria control is safe, less costly, and cost-effective compared with standard spraying

With low incidence, these funds could be spent elsewhere?https://t.co/OCb9qhqBCX https://t.co/a0sD4uhymo
