Zoonotic malaria requires new policy approaches to malaria elimination

Kimberly M Fornace et al. Nat Commun. .

Abstract

Increasing numbers of human zoonotic malaria cases are reported globally. Current malaria control measures cannot eliminate transmission from wildlife reservoirs, leaving many countries with no pathway to malaria elimination certification. New policies are needed to redefine elimination goals and certification.
