Title A name given to the resource A global strategy for malaria control Subject The topic of the resource The Global Malaria Control Strategy was created with the objective of preventing mortality and reducing morditity, and social and economic loss due to disease through the progressive improvement and strengthening of local and national capabilities. The four basic technical elements of the Strategy are: 1) to provide early diagnosis and prompt treatment; 2) to plan and implement selective and sustainable preventive measures, including vector control; 3) to detect early, contain or prevent epidemics; and 4) to strengthen local capacities in basic and applied research to permit and promote the regular assessment of a country's malaria situation, in particular the ecological, social and economic determinants of the disease.

Title A name given to the resource Basic malaria microscopy Subject The topic of the resource This training module on basic malaria microscopy is in two parts. Part I, the Learner's Guide, contains all the technical information that will be needed by trainees in this field. Part II is the Tutor's Guide, which gives extensive advice for those responsible for organizing, running and evaluating training programmes. The module is one of two published by the WHO concerned with different aspects of the control of malaria. It can stand alone as a medium for teaching malaria microscopy to public health and laboratory personnel, or can be used as an integral part of a longer and more comprehensive programme of training in malaria.

Title A name given to the resource Combination therapies and formulation of antimalarial drug policy Subject The topic of the resource This WHO module is addressed to health personnel responsible for malaria control at national and sub-national levels of the health care system. It requires some basic knowledge, but the main objective of this module is to inform professionals of new elements in combination therapies and methods of drug policy formulations. Combination therapies for malaria are increasingly being taken as best alternatives in countries where there is extensive resistance to antimalarial drugs -to a level where the drugs have no more effect in reducing mortality or morbidity. It should therefore facilitate a better understanding of the current antimalarial treatments, their selection in different epidemiological and socio-economic circumstances; and accordingly of changing or revising drug policies. The module consists of two parts: the Learner's guide; and the Tutor's guide.

Title A name given to the resource Deployment at community level of artemether-lumefantrine and rapid diagnostic tests, Raya Valley, Tigray, Ethiopia: Project Report, April 2005 - June 2007 Subject The topic of the resource The distribution of artemether-lumefantrine by community health workers using simple rapid diagnostic tests at community level for a widely dispersed, poor, primarily rural, hard-to-reach population is feasible if the health workers are appropriately trained, equipped with simple tests and supported by frequent supervision. The findings of this study indicate that the community health worker service should be upgraded by giving them artemisinin-based combination therapies, such as artemether-lumefantrine, and rapid diagnostic tests. Such interventions in areas of low-to-moderate malaria transmission can reduce morbidity, mortality and transmission of malaria as well as the case loads of the general health services. The use of rapid diagnostic tests can therefore generate cost savings, and programmes in which both artemisinin-based combination therapies and rapid diagnostic tests are used are less expensive than those based only on clinical approaches for the management of malaria.

Title A name given to the resource Manual for Indoor Residual Spraying: Application of Residual Sprays for Vector Control Subject The topic of the resource The objective of this handbook is to ensure the safe and correct application of a residual insecticide to indoor surfaces on which vectors may rest. Indoor residual spraying is extensively used, especially for malaria and Chagas disease vector control. However, vector control programmes frequently lack well-trained field staff to apply the insecticides and to maintain the application equipment. With good skills and quality application equipment, hazards to human health and the environment, as well as financial losses, can be avoided. It can be used as a model to develop training materials in the countries.
