Narcis B Kabatereine, Claire J Standley, Jose C Sousa-Figueiredo, Fiona M Fleming, J Russell Stothard, Ambrose Talisuna, Alan Fenwick Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:232 (13 December 2011) This fish landing site and associated community is typical of others in Lake Victoria. Here, the burdens of malaria, schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths are very high and pose a particular challenge for disease surveillance and control. Image: An island community.

Review
Interactions between worms and malaria: Good worms or bad worms? Mathieu Nacher Malaria Journal 2011, 10:259 (12 September 2011) Despite a growing number of studies, there is still scarce data on the immunological consequences of worms-malaria co-infections and the precise mechanisms involved. As efforts are being made to de-worm populations in malaria endemic areas, there is still no clear picture of the impact these programmes have in terms of quantitative and qualitative changes in malaria.

Baseline spatial distribution of malaria prior to an elimination programme in Vanuatu Heidi Reid, Andrew Vallely, George Taleo, Andrew J Tatem, Gerard Kelly, Ian Riley, Ivor Harris, Iata Henri, Sam Iamaher, Archie CA Clements Malaria Journal 2010, 9:150 (2 June 2010) This article is part of a collection on Towards malaria... A well-structured, concisely written paper, including malaria risk maps which are of importance and can serve as a benchmark for monitoring progress towards malaria elimination in this special island setting.

Andrew J Tatem, Carlos A Guerra, Caroline W Kabaria, Abdisalan M Noor, Simon I Hay Malaria Journal 2008, 7:218 (27 October 2008) The paper documents efforts to use a global population database, medical intelligence and urban extent maps to identify and describe spatially those areas of the malaria endemic world where human population densities are lowest and highest, resulting in modified transmission and, as such, impact upon malaria burden.
