Evolution of malaria mortality and morbidity after the emergence of chloroquine resistance in Niakhar, Senegal

Aline Munier, Aldiouma Diallo, Adama Marra, Michel Cot, Pascal Arduin, Ousmane Ndiaye, Balla Mboup, Barnabé Gning, Jean-Philippe Chippaux Malaria Journal 2009, 8:270 (27 November 2009)

Contrary to what has been observed until 1995, mortality attributable to malaria did not continue to increase dramatically in spite of the growing resistance to chloroquine and its use as first-line treatment until 2003. Malaria morbidity and mortality followed parallel trends and rather fluctuated accordingly to rainfall.

Determinants of household demand for bed nets in a rural area of southern Mozambique

Claire Chase, Elisa Sicuri, Charfudin Sacoor, Delino Nhalungo, Ariel Nhacolo, Pedro L Alonso, Clara Menéndez Malaria Journal 2009, 8:132 (15 June 2009)

The evidence fails to suggest that poorer households are less likely to own bed nets, when controlling for covariates, nor does the likelihood of receiving a free net depend on socioeconomic status. The paper provides crucial information for the national planning of malaria control activities and there are a number of findings that can be generalized to comparable settings.

Malaria in rural Mozambique. Part II: children admitted to hospital

Quique Bassat, Caterina Guinovart, Betuel Sigaúque, Pedro Aide, Jahit Sacarlal, Tacilta Nhampossa, Azucena Bardají, Ariel Nhacolo, Eusébio Macete, Inácio Mandomando, John J Aponte, Clara Menéndez, Pedro L Alonso Malaria Journal 2008, 7:37 (26 February 2008)

Community-derived incidence data of severe malaria are rare for Africa and these estimates will become increasingly important with the increasing efforts to control malaria. This and the companion paper provide valuable background information
