Malaria transmission-blocking vaccines: the bonus of effective malaria control

Reduction of transmission is important for effective malaria control. Standard microscopic detection grossly underestimates the human transmission reservoir. Malaria transmission intensity is defined by local and focal conditions. Transmission-blocking vaccines may be effective by directly targeting identified hot spots of transmission.
