Identifying Plasmodium falciparum transmission patterns through parasite prevalence and entomological inoculation rate

Identifying Plasmodium falciparum transmission patterns through parasite prevalence and entomological inoculation rate

Background: Monitoring malaria transmission is a critical component of efforts to achieve targets for elimination and eradication. Two commonly monitored metrics of transmission intensity are parasite prevalence (PR) and the entomological inoculation rate (EIR). Comparing the spatial and temporal va...
