Assessing the quality of service of village malaria workers to strengthen community-based malaria control in Cambodia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mozambique implemented artemisinin-based combinations therapy (ACT) using artemether-lumefantrine (AL) as the first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in 2009. AL remains highly efficacious, but widespread use may soon facilitate emergence of artemisinin tolerance/resistance. The prevalence of pfmdr1 d...
