Larval source management for malaria control in Africa: myths and reality

Ulrike Fillinger, Steven W Lindsay Malaria Journal 2011, 10:353 (13 December 2011)

The manuscript presents a compelling argument for the potential value of larval control of malaria vectors in Africa.

Analysis of genetic mutations associated with anti-malarial drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum from the Democratic Republic of East Timor

Afonso de Almeida, Ana Arez, Pedro VL Cravo, Virgílio E do Rosário Malaria Journal 2009, 8:59 (9 April 2009)

The study presents prevalence data on molecular resistance markers in several districts of East Timor at two different time periods.

Mutations in the Plasmodium falciparum cytochrome b gene are associated with delayed parasite recrudescence in malaria patients treated with atovaquone-proguanil

Colin J Sutherland, Matt Laundy, Nicholas Price, Martina Burke, Quinton L Fivelman, Geoffrey Pasvol, John L Klein, Peter L Chiodini Malaria Journal 2008, 7:240 (20 November 2008)

New evidence on role of mutations in malaria parasite cytochrome gene in cases of atovaquone resistance

Distinction of Plasmodium falciparum recrudescence and re-infection by MSP2 genotyping: A caution about unstandardized classification criteria

Petrica Rouse, Mtawa AP Mkulama, Philip E Thuma, Sungano Mharakurwa Malaria Journal 2008, 7:185 (23 September 2008)

A brief report commenting on variability in measures of the size of amplified fragments of a variable region of the msp2 gene, that are used for “fingerprinting” analyses to assign treatment outcomes. The work offers useful information on the precision of this important methodology and on the need for standardization of methods.

Comparison of male reproductive success in malaria-refractory and susceptible strains of Anopheles gambiae

Maarten J Voordouw, Jacob C Koella, Hilary Hurd Malaria Journal 2008, 7:103 (5 June 2008)

Application of good genetic and statistical analysis with an ambitious experimental design to identify fitness costs of differences of males related to mating.

In vitro atovaquone/proguanil susceptibility and characterization of the cytochrome b gene of Plasmodium falciparum from different endemic regions of Thailand

Rommanee Khositnithikul, Peerapan Tan-ariya, Mathirut Mungthin Malaria Journal 2008, 7:23 (28 January 2008)

The absence of cross-resistance between atovaquone and most available drugs in 83 isolates suggests that AP could be used as an alternative antimalarial drug in Thailand.

Sequence analysis of Plasmodium falciparum cytochrome b in multiple geographic sites

Marie-Thérèse Ekala, Nimol Khim, Eric Legrand, Milijaona Randrianarivelojosia, Ronan Jambou, Thierry Fandeur, Didier Menard, Serge-Brice Assi, Marie-Claire Henry, Christophe Rogier, Christiane Bouchier, Odile Mercereau-Puijalon Malaria Journal 2007, 6:164 (17 December 2007)

A study of sequence variation of Plasmodium falciparum cytochrome b from various locations on three continents discussing possible relevance to clinical failure

Genetic variation of male reproductive success in a laboratory population of Anopheles gambiae

Maarten J Voordouw, Jacob C Koella Malaria Journal 2007, 6:99 (30 July 2007)

For anopheline mosquitoes, a genetic variation in male reproductive success can have important consequences for any control strategy based on the release of transgenic or sterile males

Molecular surveillance of mutations in the cytochrome b gene of Plasmodium falciparum in Gabon and Ethiopia

Tamirat Gebru, Asrat Hailu, Peter G Kremsner, Jürgen FJ Kun, Martin P Grobusch Malaria Journal 2006, 5:112 (21 November 2006)

In the absence of drug pressure, spontaneous and possibly resistance-conferring mutations are rare. Only 10% mutant types were found in Gabonese isolates and all isolates from Ethiopia were wild-type.

Confirmation of emergence of mutations associated with atovaquone-proguanil resistance in unexposed Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Africa

Christian T Happi, Grace O Gbotosho, Onikepe A Folarin, Danny Milner, Ousmane Sarr, Akintunde Sowunmi, Dennis E Kyle, Wilbur K Milhous, Dyann F Wirth, Ayoade MJ Oduola Malaria Journal 2006, 5:82 (4 October 2006)

Report on the frequence of mutations associated with atovaquone resistance in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from three African countries.

Detection of atovaquone-proguanil resistance conferring mutations in Plasmodium falciparum cytochrome b gene in Luanda, Angola

Sónia Pimentel, Fátima Nogueira, Carla Benchimol, Vatúsia Quinhentos, Joana Bom, Luís Varandas, Virgílio do Rosário, Luís Bernardino Malaria Journal 2006, 5:30 (5 April 2006)

No mutation of the cytochrome b gene has been detected in this study, suggesting that for time being atovaquone-proguanil can continue to be recommended for travellers to Angola.
