(Diptera: Culicidae) Ensemble Distribution Modeling: Applications for Malaria Elimination.

In the absence of entomological information, tools for predicting spp. presence can help evaluate the entomological risk of malaria transmission. Here, we illustrate how species distribution models (SDM) could quantify potential dominant vector species presence in malaria elimination settings.

Malaria Elimination in Costa Rica: Changes in Treatment and Mass Drug Administration.

Costa Rica is a candidate to eliminate malaria by 2020. The remaining malaria transmission hotspots are located within the Huétar Norte Region (HNR), where 90% of the country's 147 malaria cases have occurred since 2016, following a 33-month period without transmission. Here, we examine changes in transmission with the implementation of a supervised seven-day chloroquine and primaquine treatment (7DCPT).
