Within Southeast Asia, forested landscapes are associated both with increased malaria transmission and reduced healthcare access. Identifying environments with malaria foci is a priority for control and elimination programmes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Here, we integrate health facility and environmental data to identify optimal surveillance approaches across a forested district in the Philippines. We conducted convenience surveys of health facility attendees utilising tablet-based applications to geolocate participant residences. Malaria infection was assessed using both routine (microscopy and rapid diagnostic test) and molecular methods. Integrating remote-sensing derived data, we assessed how fine-scale environmental factors influence the spatial distributions of malaria infections, diagnostic sensitivity and health-seeking behavior. We evaluated costs and probability of detecting malaria foci for multiple surveillance approaches using different diagnostic methods and target populations defined by landscape data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We demonstrate that health facility-based surveys increase the probability of detecting malaria infections by increasing numbers of individuals screened and spatial coverage of surveillance systems. We additionally show sensitivity of routine malaria diagnostics varies spatially, with the decreased sensitivity in forests. By targeting diagnostic methods to high-risk environments, we developed a model approach for how to use landscape data within disease surveillance systems. Risk-based surveillance incorporating forest data is highly cost-effective and increases the probability of detecting malaria foci over three-fold compared to routine surveillance.<\/jats:p>\n
