This document summarizes the discussions and recommendations of the Amazon Malaria Initiative (AMI) technical advisory group and aims to promote strategies that are evidence-based. It is intend- ed that this document will be updated regularly to incorporate new developments, findings, input, and suggestions from partners, as well as those arising from its own implementation. Strategic Orientation Document for Malaria Vector Surveillance and Control in Latin America and the Caribbean 7 6 Amazon Malaria Initiative/Amazon Network for the Surveillance of Antimalarial Drug Resistance 4 Introduction Since documenting the interruption of malaria transmission in several countries in the 1960s, 23 coun- tries in the Americas still have endemic malaria transmission: Argentina, Bahamas, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, French Guiana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic, Suriname and Venezuela (PAHO 2010). The region reported 524,123 laboratory-confirmed malaria cases in 2009 (representing a 56% re- duction in malaria morbidity in the region as compared with 2000) and 109 deaths in 2009 (a 70% decrease relative to the 2000 baseline figures). Seventy-four percent of infections were caused by Plas- modium vivax, 26% by Plasmodium falciparum, and less than 0.1% by Plasmodium malariae (locally reported in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela) (PAHO 2010). Recent trends suggest that some countries, such as Argentina, El Salvador, Mexico, and Paraguay, will likely continue to advance toward elimination of the disease in coming years. The transmission dynamics of malaria in the Americas comprises a complex epidemiological scenario: both P. falciparum and P. vivax parasites are sympatric in the human host and in the vector population. There is wide diversity of anopheline species that are competent vectors that coexist with a temporal succession favoring sustained transmission. As a result, patterns and intensity of malaria transmission can be remarkably diverse, requiring a variety of approaches for entomological surveillance and vector control. Entomological surveillance is a cornerstone of effective and sustained malaria control. However, the best developed malaria vector surveillance indicators and techniques are mainly applicable to areas with high malaria transmission and, in the Americas transmission levels very seldom fall within this category. Malaria endemic areas of the Americas are generally considered moderate to low transmis- sion settings. The inadequacy of traditional entomological surveillance strategies in these transmission .segnellahc elbaredisnoc htiw tem neeb evah meht tnemelpmi ot stroffe sa tnedive emoceb sah sgnittes sah emoceb tnedive sa stroffe ot tnemelpmi meht evah neeb tem htiw elbaredisnoc .segnellahc Malaria vector control programs rely on the indoor residual spraying (IRS) of insecticides and the distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) as primary vector control tools. However, there are significant knowledge gaps regarding their efficacy in the Americas, where different vector species vary substantially in host-seeking behaviors and respond differently to interventions. Thus, it is anticipated that a scale-up of these interventions might produce varying degrees of success, depending on local entomological and epidemiological contexts. Therefore, the use of regionally relevant entomological indicators to monitor impact will allow for vector control programs to monitor the effectiveness of these strategies and, where necessary, to seek alternatives.

At present, vector control is one of the most impor- tant malaria control tools available, and may lower transmission to levels where elimination can be envisioned. Vector control through the application of residual insecticides was once the mainstay of malaria control in the Americas, and considerable reductions in malaria cases and

Affected patients usually develop ventricular tachyarrhythmia and experience progressive heart failure that is refractory to medical treatment and requires cardiac transplantation. In this study, we identify a H530R mutation in PRKAG2 from patients with famil- ial Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. By generating H530R PRKAG2 transgenic and knock-in mice, we show that both models recapitulate human symptoms including cardiac hypertrophy and glycogen storage, confirming that the H530R mutation is causally related to PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome.
