Abstract:

Risk assessment for malaria re-emergence has high public health significance in China and in other countries that have eliminated malaria or on the way of elimination. Current risk assessment approaches for malaria re-emergence are classified as classical epidemiological evaluation, mathematical modelling and infectivity-receptivity-vulnerability method (IRV). This review updates researches on risk assessment approaches and related parameters, in order to provide basis for implementation of risk assessment on malaria re-emergence in China.
