Research    
A large proportion of asymptomatic Plasmodium infections with low and sub-microscopic parasite densities in the low transmission setting of Temotu Province, Solomon Islands: challenges for malaria diagnostics in an elimination setting
Ivor Harris, Wesley W Sharrock, Lisa M Bain, Karen-Ann Gray, Albino Bobogare, Leonard Boaz, Ken Lilley, Darren Krause, Andrew Vallely, Marie-Louise Johnson, Michelle L Gatton, G DENNIS Shanks, Qin Cheng
Malaria Journal 2010, 9:254 (7 September 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF]

A comparison of diagnostic techniques for malaria infection in the Solomon islands. The paper discusses the relative merits of microscopy, RDTs and PCR for identifying P.falciparum and P.vivax infections in this low transmission setting.

Malaria Journal 2010, 9:253 (3 September 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]

The novel dispersible tablet of artemether-lumefantrine was designed to make it easier to administer anti-malarials to infants and children. During early development of this new formulation, two studies were performed in healthy subjects, one to evaluate the palatability of three flavours, and a second one to compare the bioavailability of active principles.



Research    
Spatial heterogeneity and temporal evolution of malaria transmission risk in Dakar, Senegal, according to remotely sensed environmental data
Vanessa Machault, Cecile Vignolles, Frederic Pages, Libasse Gadiaga, Abdoulaye Gaye, Cheikh Sokhna, Jean-Francois Trape, Jean-Pierre Lacaux, Christophe Rogier
Malaria Journal 2010, 9:252 (3 September 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]

Paper investigating the relationship between anopheline aggressiveness and differences in built-up areas in Dakar between 1996 and 2007. The results showing that the proportion of the low risk population increased while urbanization progressed are quite interesting for their implications for malaria control programmes.



Research    
Development of temporal modelling for forecasting and prediction of malaria infections using time-series and ARIMAX analyses: A case study in endemic districts of Bhutan
Kinley Wangdi, Pratap Singhasivanon, Tassanee Silawan, Saranath Lawpoolsri, Nicholas J White, Jaranit Kaewkungwal
Malaria Journal 2010, 9:251 (3 September 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]

The ARIMA models of time-series analysis were useful in forecasting the number of cases in the endemic areas of Bhutan.

Mosquito nets in a rural area of Western Kenya: ownership, use and quality
Sophia Githinji, Susanne Herbst, Thomas Kistemann, Abdisalan M Noor
Malaria Journal 2010, 9:250 (2 September 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]

This study analyses the use and quality of nets owned by households in an area of high net coverage.



Research    
Safety of artemether-lumefantrine in pregnant women with malaria: results of a prospective cohort study in Zambia
Christine Manyando, Rhoda Mkandawire, Lwipa Puma, Moses Sinkala, Evans Mpabalwani, Eric Njunju, Melba Gomes, Isabela Ribeiro, Verena Walter, Mailis Virtanen, Raymond Schlienger, Marc Cousin, Miriam Chipimo, Frank M Sullivan
Malaria Journal 2010, 9:249 (1 September 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]

An important study of the safety of artemether-lumefantrine (AL) in pregnant women: relatively large sample size, prospective follow-up to 12 months for the infants, and careful screening for overt clinical birth deformities and neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Plasmodium life-cycle and natural history of malaria



This animation, which illustrates, in six short sequences, the various stages of the life-cycle of the malaria parasite in the human host and in its mosquito vector, has been conceived by Professors Christophe Rogier et Marcel Hommel.
