Review
Alicia Arnott, Alyssa E Barry, John C Reeder Malaria Journal 2012, 11:14 (10 January 2012) With malaria elimination back on the global agenda, mapping of global and local P. vivax population structure is essential prior to establishing goals for elimination and the roll-out of interventions.

A new world malaria map: Plasmodium falciparum endemicity in 2010 Peter W Gething, Anand P Patil, David L Smith, Carlos A Guerra, Iqbal RF Elyazar, Geoffrey L Johnston, Andrew J Tatem, Simon I Hay Malaria Journal 2011, 10:378 (20 December 2011) The paper represents a Herculean effort to provide an updated map of the global distribution of malaria, based on three key malariometric indices PfPR, PfEIR and PfRC and represents a unique contribution.

By using a multiplex technology, our results indicated that antibodies to Glurp, Lsa1, Lsa3, and Salsa antigens represent potential surrogates of exposure to malaria in context of low transmission.

Review
Emelda A Okiro, Abdullah Al-Taiar, Hugh Reyburn, Richard Idro, James A Berkley, Robert W Snow Malaria Journal 2009, 8:4 (7 January 2009) An analysis of paediatric admission data from 13 hospitals serving 17 communities between 1990 and 2007 contributes to our understanding of the epidemiology of severe malaria in African children.

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.

Research
Standardizing estimates of the Plasmodium falciparum parasite rate David L Smith, Carlos A Guerra, Robert W Snow, Simon I Hay Malaria Journal 2007, 6:131 (25 September 2007) The parasite rate is a commonly reported index of malaria transmission intensity. The analysis of over 140 studies suggests that the relationship between parasite rate and age is predictable across the observed range of malaria endemicity. This new algorithm provides a reliable method for standardizing parasite rate for the purposes of comparing studies and mapping malaria endemicity
