It contends that standard vertical malaria control programs tend to ignore local workplace and living conditions instead of recruiting traditional practices into the planning scenario for more effective control. Careful attention to these practices in the context of local economic capacity can serve to offset the common failure to take the major causative factor of poverty into account. |
