Case study
Shunmay Yeung, Edith Patouillard, Henrietta Allen, Duong Socheat Malaria Journal 2011, 10:243 (18 August 2011) Although, Cambodia successfully artesunate-mefloquine since the early 2000s in public health facilities, several studies have shown that most people with fever do not seek treatment from government facilities, but that a big proportion of the population source anti-malarials through the private sector.

Junko Yasuoka, Krishna C Poudel, Kalpana Poudel-Tandukar, Chea Nguon, Po Ly, Duong Socheat, Masamine Jimba Malaria Journal 2010, 9:109 (23 April 2010) Currently, the activities of village malaria workers is focused primarily on diagnosis and treatment. The study suggests that their knowledge base needs substantial improvement and that the focus of their activity needs to be broadened in order to further strengthen community-based malaria control.

Ivo Mueller, Simone Widmer, Daniela Michel, Seri Maraga, David T McNamara, Benson Kiniboro, Albert Sie, Thomas A Smith, Peter A Zimmerman Malaria Journal 2009, 8:41 (11 March 2009) The paper compares prevalence estimates based on light microscopy and on a PCR-based assay in 15 villages in Papua New Guinea. They compared the differences in prevalence estimates by species (the four main Plasmodium species are present) an drew important information on age stratification, bed net coverage and usage, level of education and socio-economic status to explain some of the differences observed and describe important trends.

Review
The last man standing is the most resistant: eliminating artemisinin-resistant malaria in Cambodia Richard J Maude, Wirichada Pontavornpinyo, Sompob Saralamba, Ricardo Aguas, Shunmay Yeung, Arjen M Dondorp, Nicholas PJ Day, Nicholas J White, Lisa J White Malaria Journal 2009, 8:31 (20 February 2009) The authors use mathematical models to investigate possible consequences of various strategies to control the spread of artemisinin-resistance in the Thai-Cambodian border region.

Micro-geographic risk factors for malarial infection Ward P Myers, Andrea P Myers, Janet Cox-Singh, Hui C Lau, Benny Mokuai, Richard Malley Malaria Journal 2009, 8:27 (13 February 2009) A study designed to evaluate whether geographic parameters are associated with malarial infection in the East Sepik province of Papua New Guinea (PNG), a remote area where malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Lower elevation and greater distance from administrative centre were noted as risk factors.

Ngo Thang, Annette Erhart, Le Hung, Le Thuan , Nguyen Xa, Nguyen Thanh, Pham Ky, Marc Coosemans, Nico Speybroeck, Umberto D'Alessandro Malaria Journal 2009, 8:3 (5 January 2009) This is an interesting study about falling malaria rates in a central province in Vietnam that had introduced village level monitoring. It is of particular interest because it carefully documents changing parasite rates, in both asymptomatic individuals and febrile patients, in a rural ethnic minority community.

Access to artemisinin combination therapy for malaria in remote areas of Cambodia Shunmay Yeung, Wim Van Damme, Doung Socheat, Nicholas J White, Anne Mills Malaria Journal 2008, 7:96 (29 May 2008) Despite antimalarial protocol change, appropriate diagnostic and ACT treatment coverage remains low in Cambodia, while the use of artemisinin monotherapy is alarmingly high.
