Resum
The value of malaria eradication, the permanent reduction to zero of
the worldwide incidence of malaria infection caused by human
malaria parasites, would be enormous. However, the expected
value of an investment in an intended, but uncertain, outcome
hinges on the probability of, and time until, its fulfilment.
Though the long-term benefits of global malaria eradication
promise to be large, the upfront costs and uncertainty regarding
feasibility and timeframe make it difficult for policymakers and
researchers to forecast the return on investment. - Label:
METHODS NlmCategory: METHODS content: A large online survey of
844 peer-reviewed malaria researchers of different scientific
backgrounds administered in order to estimate the probability
and time frame of eradication. Adjustments were made for
potential selection bias, and thematic analysis of free text
comments was carried out. - Label: RESULTS NlmCategory: RESULTS
content: "The average perceived likelihood of global eradication
among malaria researchers approximates the number of years into the future: approximately 10% of researchers believe that
eradication will occur in the next 10\xC2\xA0years, 30% believe
it will occur in the next 30\xC2\xA0years, and half believe
eradication will require 50\xC2\xA0years or more. Researchers
who gave free form comments highlighted systemic challenges and
the need for innovation as chief among obstacles to achieving
global malaria eradication." - Label: CONCLUSIONS NlmCategory:
CONCLUSIONS content: The findings highlight the difficulty and
complexity of malaria eradication, and can be used in
prospective cost-benefit analyses to inform stakeholders
regarding the likely return on eradication-specific investments.
