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.
