The potential contribution of mass treatment to the control of Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
Mass treatment as a means to reducing P. falciparum malaria transmission was used during the first global malaria eradication campaign and is increasingly being considered for current control programmes. We used a previously developed mathematical transmission model to explore both the short and lon...
