Eritrea’s Ministry of Health leads the country’s inter-sectoral National Malaria Control Program (NMCP). The NMCP began implementing a five-year plan of action in October 1999, developed as part of the international Roll Back Malaria partnership initiative. One of the NMCP’s highest priorities was to improve its understanding of the distribution of malaria throughout the country.
The NMCP performed a series of studies, including a national survey of vector distribution, longitudinal studies of vector ecology, short-term studies to characterize vector biting behavior, and a national survey of malaria prevalence. These studies were undertaken with the overall objective of developing a clear model of the spatial and temporal stratification of malaria in Eritrea. This report describes results from the prevalence survey.
