Cost analysis of school-based intermittent screening and treatment of malaria in Kenya Thomas L Drake, George Okello, Kiambo Njagi, Katherine E Halliday, Matthew CH Jukes, Lindsay Mangham, Simon Brooker Malaria Journal 2011, 10:273 (20 September 2011) This paper analyses the costs of intermittent screening and treatment (IST) of malaria in schools on the Kenyan coast.In the current context, IST is a relatively expensive school-based malaria intervention, but costs can be reduced by simplifying the protocole.

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.

Hyperparasitaemia and low dosing are an important source of anti-malarial drug resistance Nicholas J White, Wirichada Pongtavornpinyo, Richard J Maude, Sompob Saralamba, Ricardo Aguas, Kasia Stepniewska, Sue J Lee, Arjen M Dondorp, Lisa J White, Nicholas PJ Day Malaria Journal 2009, 8:253 (11 November 2009) This comprehensive paper on the theory and mechanisms of parasite resistance to anti-malarial drugs is very helpful for both understanding and dealing with the peril of artemisinin resistance in southeast Asia and its possible spread to Africa and elsewhere.
