Conclusion
Given the heavy burden of malaria, the need to use existing strategies and interventions in scaled-up programs more effectively and to deploy them more widely is urgent and merits the highest priority, especially in Africa. While existing tools can be improved, newer tools are required. The history of malaria research and control shows that they are synergistic. Integrating research and control activities has resulted in success in several areas of the world, and will result in vanquishing malaria early in the 21st century.
