Inclusion Criteria
All villages in the demarcated study site will initially be eligible for full participation in the trial. All households in trial villages will be eligible for entomological and epidemiological monitoring to assess trial outcomes. Within these households, children aged 6 to 59 months with informed consent from a guardian will be eligible for assessing parasitemia.
Exclusion Criteria
A buffer zone around each trial village, necessary for preventing contamination bias, will lead to the exclusion of some villages in the study site from the trial. This will be kept to a minimum, and done randomly by applying a spatial restriction to the village selection procedure.
