*RACD (reactive case detection): administering rapid diagnostic tests to people living within a 500 m radius of an index case; treating positives with artemether-lumefantrine and single dose primaquine

rfMDA (reactive focal mass drug administration): presumptively treating individuals living within a 500 m radius around an index case using artemether-lumefantrine, without testing

RAVC (reactive focal vector control): spraying long-acting insecticide, pirimiphos-methyl, on interior walls of sleeping structures in a 7-household radius around an index case
