Snippet: Control can be defined as a reduction in the incidence of a disease to a defined target level. Although control sounds like a less impressive goal, it is not easy to accomplish and indeed, is a very significant achievement.

Document: Control can be defined as a reduction in the incidence of a disease to a defined target level. Although control sounds like a less impressive goal, it is not easy to accomplish and indeed, is a very significant achievement. Control of malaria would be such an achievement. 3 Where do we stand today in regard to falciparum malaria? Its incidence has been reduced significantly by rapid diagnosis and treatment, insecticide-impregnated bednets, and vector control. Although a highly effective vaccine has yet to be developed, significant progress in vaccine research has been made. Even implementation of a vaccine that is only 30% effective would have a major impact on control and result in many lives saved.
