Case investigation with FTAT/FSTAT+ focal drug administration for outbreak

PECADOM++

MTAT at the beginning of the 2014 transmission season (September 2014) followed by PECADOM++

  1. FTAT (focal test and treat): all individuals in the index case household were tested with an RDT and treated if positive
  2. FSTAT (focal screen, test and treat): all individuals in the five closest households to the index case household within a 100-m radius were screened for risk factors (reported fever, recent travel or not sleeping under a bed net) and those with at least one were tested with an RDT and treated if positive
  3. PECADOM++: weekly mass fever screen, test and treat along with reactive focal FTAT
