Attractive toxic sugar bait (ATSB) methods decimate populations of Anopheles malaria vectors in arid environments regardless of the local availability of favoured sugar-source blossoms

Beier JC, Muller GC, Gu W, Arheart KL and Schlein Y Malaria Journal 2012, 11:31 (1 February 2012)

Apoptosis of the fibrocytes type 1 in the spiral ligament and blood labyrinth barrier disturbance cause hearing impairment in murine cerebral malaria

Schmutzhard J, Kositz CH, Glueckert R, Schmutzhard E, Schrott-Fischer A and Lackner P Malaria Journal 2012, 11:30 (1 February 2012)

The paper describes histopathological changes induced by a murine malaria infection and relates this with hearing loss. It uses a well-stablished experimental model and addresses a major issue for malaria patients.
Review

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 specialties 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.
