| General Description of the Research Project | This project aims to generate the evidence base for the use of Plasmodium vivax serological exposure markers in the Philippines for identifying residual foci of transmission and to predict and respond to malaria outbreaks. We will achieve this by conducting new health-facility surveys in a province with reported P. vivax outbreaks in the prior two years (total 187 P. vivax cases), applying our serological exposure markers and using the data to inform locally appropriate and evidence-based interventions to accelerate elimination |
