Figure 2: Annual (A) and monthly (B) malaria (overall and per species) incidence per 1000 population in Loreto Region: 2002–2013.

From: Spatio-temporal analysis of malaria incidence in the Peruvian Amazon Region between 2002 and 2013

Numbers in the timeline differentiate three periods: 1) Pre-PAMAFRO period (Jan. 2002–Sept. 2005): control activities essentially based on passive case detection (PCD), and the response to malaria outbreaks with focalized active detection of symptomatic cases (ACD) and indoor residual spraying; 2) PAMAFRO period (Oct. 2005–Dec. 2010): intensified comprehensive control strategies including the strengthening of malaria diagnosis and detection, improvement of malaria case-management, use of insecticide treated nets, and encouragement of community participation in environmental management; 3) Post-PAMAFRO period (Jan. 2011–Dec. 2013): control activities essentially limited to passive case detection (PCD) at health facilities and irregular ACD in communities with high incidence of malaria cases.
