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.

Review
Mathematical models of malaria - a review Sandip Mandal, Ram Sarkar, Somdatta Sinha Malaria Journal 2011, 10:202 (21 July 2011) A timely review article that aims to assess the current state of the malaria modelling field, predominantly focusing on mathematical (rather than statistical) models.

Samson M Kinyanjui, Philip Bejon, Faith H Osier, Peter C Bull, Kevin Marsh Malaria Journal 2009, 8:242 (28 October 2009) A major handicap in developing a malaria vaccine is the difficulty in pinpointing the immune responses that protect against malaria. The brevity of antibodies responses makes it difficult to assign the true serological status of an individual at any given time, i.e. those positive at a survey may be negative by the time they encounter the next infection.

Research
Endemicity response timelines for Plasmodium falciparum elimination David L Smith, Simon I Hay Malaria Journal 2009, 8:87 (30 April 2009) An important extension to the theoretical aspects of modeling malaria elimination. The authors add two new components – superinfection and modeling the “consolidation” phase.
