Commentary
Malaria in Sri Lanka: one year post-tsunami Olivier JT Briët, Gawrie NL Galappaththy, Priyanie H Amerasinghe, Flemming Konradsen Malaria Journal 2006, 5:42 (15 May 2006) One year ago, the authors of this article reported on the malaria situation in Sri Lanka prior to the tsunami that hit on 26 December 2004 and estimated the likelihood of a post-tsunami malaria outbreak to be low. Here, the authors comment on the international tsunami relief operations and the fact that internationally-donated antimalarials were either redundant or did not comply with national drug policy. As had been predicted, malaria incidence had actually decreased in 2005.

Kaliannagoun Krishnamoorthy, Purushothaman Jambulingam, R Natarajan, AN Shriram, Pradeep K Das, SC Sehgal Malaria Journal 2005, 4:32 (20 July 2005) This paper deals with the possible impact of the tsunami episode in Nicobar
islands (India) on the brackish mosquito, Anopheles sundaicus, and the possible implication for the transmission of human malaria as this mosquito seems to thrive in seawater-destroyed paddy fields.
