Effectiveness of reactive case detection for malaria elimination in three archetypical transmission settings: a modelling study

Abstract Background Reactive case detection could be a powerful tool in malaria elimination, as it selectively targets transmission pockets. However, field operations have yet to demonstrate under which conditions, if any, reactive case detection is best poised to push a region to elimination. This...
