Active Case Finding for Malaria: A 3-Year National Evaluation of Optimal Approaches to Detect Infections and Hotspots Through Reactive Case Detection in the Low-transmission Setting of Eswatini

Abstract

We present the first large-scale national evaluation of optimal RACD approaches from a malaria elimination setting. To inform delivery of antimalarial drugs or other interventions, RACD, when conducted, should utilize more sensitive diagnostics and clear context-specific operational parameters. Future studies of RACD's impact on transmission may still be needed.
