Effectiveness of a tailored forest package of interventions, including topical repellents, in reducing malaria incidence in Myanmar
The tailored intervention package for forest-goers helped reduce malaria incidence in Myanmar. Topical repellents may help to further reduce malaria transmission in elimination settings where high-risk populations such as forest-goers do not have easy access to routine health services or are less likely to use ITNs for malaria prevention.
