Major malaria success on small island

Bioko (formerly known as Fernando Po) is a small island (estimated population 130,000) that is part of the troubled African country of Equatorial Guinea. A programme to improve the control of malaria on the island is reported (1) to have achieved remarkable success.

Four years after high coverage, multiple malaria control interventions were introduced: mean prevalence of infection in children aged 2-5 years fell from 42% to 18%; prevalence of moderate-severe anaemia in the same age group declined from 15% to 2%; and all-cause under-five mortality dropped by two-thirds, from 152 per 1,000 births to 55.

Anti-Malaria Efforts Yield New Success - washingtonpost.com

The findings from Rwanda and Ethiopia are the first to show a greater than 50 percent reduction in malaria mortality nationwide in "high burden" countries. Such dramatic reductions had been achieved previously only in smaller regions or in countries where the disease is less pervasive.
