Rapid decrease of malaria morbidity following the introduction of community-based monitoring in a rural area of central Vietnam

Ngo Thang, Annette Erhart, Le Hung, Le Thuan , Nguyen Xa, Nguyen Thanh, Pham Ky, Marc Coosemans, Nico Speybroeck, Umberto D'Alessandro Malaria Journal 2009, 8:3 (5 January 2009)

This is an interesting study about falling malaria rates in a central province in Vietnam that had introduced village level monitoring. It is of particular interest because it carefully documents changing parasite rates, in both asymptomatic individuals and febrile patients, in a rural ethnic minority community.
