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

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.

|
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.

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.
