Integrated malaria vector control strategies and their effectiveness in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review protocol for interventional studies.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest malaria burden in the world. Several vector control strategies are being implemented to reduce mosquito density and protect the most vulnerable populations, such as children under 5 and pregnant women. This systematic review is designed to assess the effectiveness of integrated vector control versus single vector control interventions on malaria incidence and prevalence to guide decisions on controlling malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa.

Methods and analyses

We will systematically retrieve published and grey literature from electronic databases and clinical trial registries. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines will guide us in applying a systematic approach to screening, reviewi
