摘要: Background: The Australian Government's Pacific Malaria Initiative (PacMI) is supporting the National Program in both Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, complementing assistance from Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis (GFATM). Two remote island groups - Tafea Province, Vanuatu Temotu have been selected by governments of countries as possible malaria elimination areas. To provide information on prevalence distribution disease within these groups, malariometric surveys were conducted during wet seasons 2008.
