Abstract

There have been major changes in the epidemiological patterns for malaria in Brazil in the last ten years. One of the most important features is the tendency towards focal distribution in the Amazon region, instead of spreading transmission zones. This new epidemiological situation has led to changes in the control theory based on the occurrence of focal transmission of the infection. The importance of diversified control measures has thus increased, taking into account the characteristics of each transmission focus. The article comments on new proposals for control presented at the Ministerial Conference in Amsterdam.
