Large-scale intermittent larviciding intervention and associations with key malaria epidemiological parameters in Tanga Region, Tanzania
Under the current design of intermittent larviciding application, there was no strong evidence of an association between larviciding and malaria epidemiological indicators. More studies considering continuous year-round implementation and randomizing a large number of clusters could generate further evidence on the contribution of larviciding to malaria control in similar transmission settings.
