Malaria control through community participation is feasible. Malaria elimination not.

Community participation in malaria control

Yes, I firmly believe that community participation is very very important for effective malaria control. This has been demonstrated in different epidemiological settings in India during implementation of integrated disease vector control project. All interventions such as long lasting insecticidal nets, indoor residual spraying, source reduction, biological control etc will have very limited success without community involvement.
