[afro-nets] Millennium Villages: Fighting Malaria in Africa (2)

["Bill Nesler" <sdbc@hur.midco.net>]

The biggest problem with all these malaria programs is the lack of a vector control component and a lack of accountability.  Without these two components, I believe, other efforts will prove futile.  Without a comprehensive vector control program the re-infection rates will continue, leading to greater resistance to drugs by the parasite.

A well run comprehensive and integrated program can rapidly stop the transmission of malaria.  Coupled with the medical treatment of infected people, malaria can be eradicated, not just simply decreased.
