Cost-effectiveness of optimal control strategies for malaria transmission
By Alhassan Charity Jumai.
Abstract
Malaria is a life threatening illness that affect millions of people all over the world, even though significant effort have been Implemented with the use of Insecticide treated net, the disease remains chronic. Infection with malaria can result in several physiologic derangements such as anemia, acidosis, and hypoglycemia to name a few. Due to its tendency to transition to an adherent phenotype, infection with P falciparum predisposes patients to thrombosis and thrombocytopenia throughout the body. Cerebral malaria is characterized by its variable presentation of neurologic decline, often leading to coma and convulsions, However this study reveals the impact of malaria with optimal control, The Efficiency of Intervention (Ef) metric demonstrates that the most effective strategy requires a combination of all three control measures at their highest efficacy. Specifically, each measure must achieve an efficacy rate of at least 80% to deliver a significant epidemiological impact.
