Urban malaria and associated risk factors in Jimma town, south-west Ethiopia Abebe Alemu, Wondewosen Tsegaye, Lemu Golassa, Gemeda Abebe Malaria Journal 2011, 10:173 (24 June 2011) A cross-sectional malariological survey in Jimma town, south-west Ethiopia, with a descriptive KAP analysis and some risk factors. The paper addresses an issue of public health importance, and the statistics are likely to be of interest to those working in malaria in similar environments.

Long-term anopheline control using larvicides is an amazing logistic achievement, which could be successfully emulated in other urban areas

Yazoume Ye, Nyovani Madise, Robert Ndugwa, Sam Ochola, Robert W Snow Malaria Journal 2009, 8:160 (15 July 2009) The study could not demonstrate any evidence of malaria in Korogocho, a slum in the centre of Nairobi. Fever was a common complaint and often treated as malaria with anti-malarial drugs. Strategies, including testing for malaria parasites to reduce the inappropriate exposure of poor communities to expensive anti-malarial drugs provided by clinical services and drug vendors, should be a priority for district planners.

Social and environmental malaria risk factors in urban areas of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Meili Baragatti, Florence Fournet, Marie-Claire Henry, Serge Assi, Herman Ouedraogo, Christophe Rogier, Gérard Salem Malaria Journal 2009, 8:13 (13 January 2009) Urban malaria in African cities is starting to emerge as a entity with its own specific features. It is generally considered that suitable vector breeding sites are scarce in highly populated areas, but despite low endemicity, a high proportion of fevers are presumptively treated as malaria in urban areas and the anti-malarial drug consumption is higher than in rural areas

History of malaria control in Tajikistan and rapid malaria appraisal in an agro-ecological setting Barbara Matthys, Tohir Sherkanov, Saifudin S Karimov, Zamonidin Khabirov, Till Mostowlansky, Jürg Utzinger, Kaspar Wyss Malaria Journal 2008, 7:217 (26 October 2008) This paper has a dual interest, firstly because it reports on a ‘rapid malaria appraisal’ approach in an endemic setting of Central Asia; secondly, because malaria information from these areas is scanty, and both past and current situations are presented here in exhaustive manner.
