Background: Unprecedented efforts are underway to eliminate malaria. Mathematical modelling can help to determine the … optical strategies for malaria elimination in different epidemiological settings. This is necessary as there is limited scope … ongoing investment by funders. However, there has been very little modelling of malaria elimination and little direct …
