Island-wide interventions have resulted in a substantial reduction in malaria transmission on Bioko Island. This unique time series of 13 consecutive annual malaria indicator surveys clearly demonstrates the long-term effectiveness of the sustained use of two vector control interventions, indoor residual spraying and LLINs, and the value of comprehensive and sustained surveillance. Despite considerable success in reducing the burden on the island, malaria is still endemic, with populations in some areas remaining at high risk of infection.
