数学模型长期以来为疟疾控制提供了基本见解。盘尾丝虫病控制计划最近在西非取得的成功表明，如果模型能够融入到整个计划中，并且参与者清楚模型能做什么和不能做什么，那么模型可以为干预计划做出巨大的务实贡献。这一教训可以应用于基于证据的疟疾控制。
Mathematical models have long provided basic insights for malaria control. The recent success of the Onchocerciasis Control Program in west Africa shows that models can make great pragmatic contributions to intervention programs if the modeling is integrated into the overall program, and if the participants are clear about what models can and cannot do. This lesson can be applied to evidence-based malaria control.
