Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Uganda, as a highly endemic country, faces the challenge of charting a rapid, safe and effective route from high transmission to pre-elimination. Robust vector control with indoor residual spraying (IRS) + long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), may still leave lots of residual transmission, and IRS use is resource limited. Mass drug administration (MDA) is one possible means to accelerate vector control impact, aiding efforts towards elimination. The objective of the trial is to assess the impact of four rounds of population based IRS with pirimiphos methyl, alone or in combination with MDA with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP), on malaria transmission, prevalence and incidence.
