Characterizing PvARP, a novel Plasmodium vivax antigen

Moreno-Pérez DA, Saldarriaga A and Patarroyo MA Malaria Journal 2013, 12:165 (20 May 2013)

Characterization of the P. vivax asparagine-rich protein (PvARP) by a straightforward approach using molecular biology and immunochemistry assays. The reactivity with sera from individuals infected with P. vivax indicates that it contains epitopes that are target of antibody response generated during natural exposure.

A potential threat to malaria elimination: extensive deltamethrin and DDT resistance to Anopheles sinensis from the malaria-endemic areas in China

Wang D, Xia Z, Zhou S, Zhou X, Wang R and Zhang Q Malaria Journal 2013, 12:164 (17 May 2013)

A paper that highlights the problem of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors in China.
Commentary

Fulani show decreased susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum infection versus Mossi: data from a community-wide screening and treatment of asymptomatic carriers in Burkina Faso

Tiono AB, Sirima SB and Hamed K Malaria Journal 2013, 12:163 (16 May 2013)

This study confirmed that, in the same environment, individuals belonging to the Fulani ethnic group have a lower susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum infection than Mossi individuals.
Research

Evaluation of the 2011 long-lasting, insecticide-treated net distribution for universal coverage in Togo

Stevens ER, Aldridge A, Degbey Y, Pignandi A, Dorkenoo MA and Hugelen-Padin J Malaria Journal 2013, 12:162 (16 May 2013)

Description of a largely successful campaign to distribute LLINs to all age-groups across Togo. The authors conclude that even though the campaign was unable to achieve the universal coverage target, it rapidly increased overall coverage and was far better than previous campaigns that targeted only pregnant women and under fives.
Research

Providing open access data online to advance malaria research and control

Moyes CL, Temperley WH, Henry AJ, Burgert CR and Hay SI Malaria Journal 2013, 12:161 (16 May 2013)

A description of the construction of the Malaria Atlas Project's online data portal. It usefully details the data and associated products that the MAP team has made accessible to the global malaria community.
Research

A member of the Plasmodium falciparum PHIST family binds to the erythrocyte cytoskeleton component band 4.1

Parish LA, Mai DW, Jones ML, Kitson EL and Rayner JC Malaria Journal 2013, 12:160 (11 May 2013)

Identification of a novel interaction between the erythrocyte Band 4.1 protein and a P. falciparum component from the PHIST family of proteins. The paper should be of interest to groups working on the parasite "exportome".

Aims & scope

Malaria Journal is aimed at the scientific community interested in malaria in its broadest sense. It is the only journal that publishes exclusively articles on malaria and, as such, it aims to bring together knowledge from the different specialities involved in this very broad discipline, from the bench to the bedside and to the field. Malaria Journal offers a fast publication schedule while maintaining rigorous peer-review; this is achieved by managing the whole of the publication process electronically, from submission to peer-review.
