This book intends to provide the lessons and efforts on malaria control and elimination practices in several classical endemic areas with different transmission characteristics. The book collects seven cases on malaria surveillance and response based on the 1-3-7 approach in Jiangsu Province, the border malaria control and elimination in Yunnan Province, the fight against malaria among forest goers in the mountainous areas in Hainan island, the focal mass drug administration for Plasmodium vivax control in Anhui Province, the vector control response to malaria re-emergence in Henan Province, and the review of discovery history of artemisinin, as well as the international promotion of ACTs. The book is likely to be of interest to professionals/practitioners and policy makers in government or industry in the field of malaria control and prevention, and related researchers, especially in the malaria transmission areas targeting malaria elimination.
