TL;DR: Asymptomatic infections are a major source of malaria transmission in Southeast Asia and the impact of MDA on entomological indices has not been characterized previously.

TL;DR: The community engagement efforts for a pilot malaria elimination project in Kayin State, Myanmar is described, which encountered many challenges which included logistical, scientific and political difficulties.

TL;DR: Thematic analysis was used to construct the nine dimensions for CE in this complex, post-war region, which proved integral to health worker success in conducting CE, and can aid in infectious disease control programmes, such as those using mass drug administration, to engender high rates of community participation.

TL;DR: The malaria posts operating under the METF programme perform to a high standard, with the majority offering uninterrupted access to diagnosis and treatment, and high service uptake in the villages serviced by the programme.
