The goal is to develop and evaluate a new generation of improved methodologies for monitoring, evaluating and controlling malaria transmission.

The objectives are to;

Develop a set of standardized measures of malaria transmission that can be used across the full range of intensities that it exists.

Evaluate the effectiveness of different transmission-reducing malaria control interventions, both alone and in various combinations in environments with varying parasite transmission levels.

Assess the impact of biological factors associated with vector populations, such as variable levels or different mechanisms of insecticide resistance or variation in vector behaviors, on the effectiveness of malaria control interventions.
