Estimating the potential impact of surveillance test-and-treat posts to reduce malaria in border regions in sub-Saharan Africa: a modelling study
Border posts were most effective in low-transmission settings with high-transmission neighbours. Border posts alone in sub-Saharan Africa will not allow a country to reach elimination, particularly when considering feasibility and acceptability, but could contribute to broader control packages to targeted populations.
