The progressive confinement of malaria to minority groups and settings in the Greater Mekong sub-region implies that further success in malaria control will be linked to research into these specific socio-cultural contexts.

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.

Aase Berg, Sam Patel, Nina Langeland, Bjorn Blomberg Malaria Journal 2008, 7:252 (15 December 2008) The main point of interest of this paper is that the attributable fraction of febrile illness due to malaria is lower in HIV infected adults compared to those who are uninfected. It adds fresh data to this issue.
