TL;DR: Despite efforts to expand the provision of malaria diagnostics in Zambia, they continue to be underused and patients with negative test results frequently receive antimalarials.

TL;DR: Movement models fitted to trip data from surveys conducted at 3–5 sites throughout each of Mali, Burkina Faso, Zambia and Tanzania may help predict the spatial transmission of malaria parasites and inform strategies to control their spread.
Key traveller groups of relevance to spatial malaria transmission: a survey of movement patterns in four sub-Saharan African countries.
John M. Marshall,John M. Marshall,Mahamoudou B. Touré,André Lin Ouédraogo,Micky Ndhlovu,Samson S. Kiware,Ashley Rezai,Emmy Nkhama,Jamie T. Griffin,T. Déirdre Hollingsworth,T. Déirdre Hollingsworth,Seydou Doumbia,Nicodem J. Govella,Neil M. Ferguson,Azra C. Ghani +14 more
TL;DR: Women travelling with children were a remarkably consistent traveller group across all four countries surveyed and are expected to contribute greatly towards spatial malaria transmission because their movements correlate with seasonal rains and hence peak mosquito densities.
Documenting malaria case management coverage in Zambia: a systems effectiveness approach
Megan Littrell,John M. Miller,Micky Ndhlovu,Busiku Hamainza,Moonga Hawela,Mulakwa Kamuliwo,Davidson H. Hamer,Richard W. Steketee +7 more
TL;DR: Applying health facility and population-based data to the systems effectiveness framework provides a cogent and feasible approach to documenting malaria case management coverage and identifying gaps to direct program action.
Evaluation of methods for linking household and health care provider data to estimate effective coverage of management of child illness: results of a pilot study in Southern Province, Zambia.
TL;DR: Ecological linking with provider data on a sample of all skilled providers may be as effective as exact-match linking in areas with low variation in structural quality within a provider category or minimal provider bypassing.
