BACKGROUND
Human population movement poses a major obstacle to malaria control and elimination. With recent technological advances, a wide variety of data sources and analytical methods have been used to quantify human population movement (HPM) relevant to control and elimination of malaria.
METHODS
The relevant literature and selected studies that had policy implications that could help to design or target malaria control and elimination interventions were reviewed. These studies were categorized according to spatiotemporal scales of human mobility and the main method of analysis.
RESULTS
Evidence gaps exist for tracking routine cross-border HPM and HPM at a regional scale. Few studies accounted for seasonality. Out of twenty included studies, two studies which tracked daily neighbourhood HPM used descriptive analyses as the main method, while the remaining studies used statistical analyses or mathematical modelling.
CONCLUSION
Although studies quantified varying types of human population movement covering different spatial and temporal scales, methodological gaps remain that warrant further studies related to malaria control and elimination.
背景
人口流动对疟疾防控和消除构成了重大障碍。随着最近技术的进步，人们已经使用了各种数据源和分析方法来量化与疟疾防控和消除相关的人口流动（HPM）。
方法
我们回顾了相关文献和具有政策意义的选定研究，这些研究可以帮助设计或针对疟疾防控和消除干预措施。这些研究根据人类流动性的时空尺度和主要分析方法进行了分类。
结果
在跟踪常规跨境人口流动和区域范围内人口流动方面存在证据差距。很少有研究考虑到季节性。在纳入的二十项研究中，有两项研究使用描述性分析作为主要方法来跟踪日常邻里人口流动，而其余研究则使用统计分析或数学建模。
结论
尽管这些研究量化了不同类型的人口流动，涵盖了不同的时空尺度，但在疟疾防控和消除方面仍存在方法学差距，需要进一步研究。
