Malaria surveillance using pregnant women at antenatal care (ANC) visits effectively tracks community malaria trends in Sub-Saharan Africa. This approach provides timely data on temporal changes and geographic distribution of malaria burden.
Area of Science:
- Malariology
- Epidemiology
- Public Health
Background:
- Pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) are a key demographic for malaria surveillance in Sub-Saharan Africa.
- Understanding the spatio-temporal dynamics of malaria is crucial for effective control strategies.
Conclusions:
- ANC-based surveillance provides contemporary insights into malaria temporal trends.
- ANC data effectively reflects the geographic distribution of malaria burden within the community.
- Antenatal care visits are a valuable and efficient target for malaria surveillance systems.
