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 Operational research for malaria control 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 modules is to inform professionals of the basics and methods of operational research. Countries need experts who can undertake routine operational research on certain interventions for policy changes and to monitor trends in morbidity and mortality. This will therefore help health workers operating in different epidemiological and socio-economic circumstances understand the use and methods of operational research for decision making, monitoring and evaluation of malaria control activities. The module consists of two parts: the Learner's guide; and the Tutor's guide.

Title A name given to the resource DengueNet Subject The topic of the resource DengueNet is the WHO's central data management system for the global epidemiological and virological surveillance of dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF). The network collects standardized data from all DengueNet partners worldwide, and provides ready access to a variety of indicators such as incidence, case fatality rates (CFR), frequency and distribution of DF and DHF cases, number of fatalities and circulating virus sirotypes. The key objective of DengueNet is to provide a standard platform for sharing current surveillance data in order to detect and monitor incidence and trends of dengue and DHF. This system promotes greater standardization of dengue reporting, making national data more comparable than they are today. DengueNet also provides unrestricted access to useful information that can help public health professionals and advance warning of epidemics to improve preparedness, case management, and reduce fatality rates.

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.
