Competing Interests
AT, JC, BM, and OS work within or assist the malaria program at the Clinton Health Access Initiative, which is supporting malaria elimination in southern Africa. SA, NG, AB, and DM are actively involved in the management of elimination or prevention of reintroduction programmes in Mauritius (SA, NG, and AB) and South Africa (DM). AP works at The Global Health Group of the University of California, San Francisco; the Global Health Group exists in part to document and disseminate evidence from malaria elimination efforts, and is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and ExxonMobil. DM, AP, BM, DS, and OS are members of the Malaria Elimination Group. JK has a paid consultancy with the bednet manufacturer, Vestergaard Frandsen. There are no patents, products in development or marketed products to declare. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. The findings and conclusions in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of their employing organizations nor the sources of funding.
