Hugh Sturrock and colleagues discuss the role of active case detection in low malaria transmission settings. They argue that the evidence for its effectiveness is sparse and that targeted mass drug administration should be evaluated as an alternative or addition to active case detection.
休·斯特罗克和同事讨论了在疟疾低传播地区开展主动病例检测的作用。他们认为,目前关于其有效性的证据很少,有必要评估有针对性的大规模药物治疗作为主动病例检测的替代或补充措施。
