《柳叶刀》关于消灭疟疾的四部分系列文章总结了过去100年来取得的显著进展，并讨论了消灭疟疾国家面临的重大技术、运营和财政挑战。1-4该系列是在全世界防治疟疾的资源增加的时候推出的。一项由三部分组成的根除疟疾战略已经制定并得到广泛认可：在高负担地区进行积极控制;逐步消除流行边缘地区，缩小疟疾地图;以及研究和开发，开发新工具和技术。5所有三个组成部分都很重要，必须同时进行。本评论意见着重于与该战略第二部分（缩小疟疾地图）相关的优先事项、要求和责任，缩小疟疾地图（地方性疟疾的地理范围）方面取得了显著进展。自1945年以来，已有79个国家消灭了疟疾，生活在疟疾流行地区的世界人口比例从70%下降到50%。6全世界109个国家现已消除疟疾，99个国家仍有疟疾
The Lancet‘s four-part Series on malaria elimination summarises the remarkable progress achieved over the past 100 years and discusses the substantial technical, operational, and financial challenges that confront malaria-eliminating countries. 1–4 The Series comes at a time when there are increased resources to combat malaria worldwide. A three-part strategy to achieve malaria eradication has been developed and is widely endorsed: aggressive control in highburden regions; progressive elimination from endemic margins to shrink the malaria map; and research and development, to develop new tools and techniques. 5 All three components are important and must proceed simultaneously. This Comment focuses on the priorities, requirements, and responsibilities that are associated with the second part of this strategy: shrinking the malaria map.Progress in shrinking the malaria map (the geographical range of endemic malaria) has been remarkable. Since 1945, 79 countries have eliminated malaria and the proportion of the world’s population who live in malaria-endemic regions has decreased from 70% to 50%. 6 Worldwide, 109 countries are now malaria free, whereas 99 still have malaria
