Research
Clifford M Mutero, Dieter Schlodder, Narcis Kabatereine, Randall Kramer Malaria Journal 2012, 11:21 (14 January 2012) This paper focuses on status of Integrated Vector Management in Uganda and is a good demonstration how surveys of individuals in different sectors can advance the development of IVM-based programmes in African countries.

Case report
Helene Hiwat, Loretta S Hardjopawiro, Willem Takken, Leopoldo Villegas Malaria Journal 2012, 11:10 (9 January 2012) This article is part of a collection on Towards malaria... Shows how effective efforts have been made to control malaria in Suriname, South America. The paper is well written and documented, and will be of great interest because it represents a success story for malaria control. Suriname has moved to the Pre-elimination phase as defined by WHO.

Opinion
Larval source management for malaria control in Africa: myths and reality Ulrike Fillinger, Steven W Lindsay Malaria Journal 2011, 10:353 (13 December 2011) The manuscript presents a compelling argument for the potential value of larval control of malaria vectors in Africa.

Review
Jo-An Atkinson, Andrew Vallely, Lisa Fitzgerald, Maxine Whittaker, Marcel Tanner Malaria Journal 2011, 10:225 (4 August 2011) This article is part of a collection on Towards malaria... This is a very timely paper as the international malaria control effort has significantly accelerated malaria control regarding planning, resource mobilization and availability of malaria control commodities.

Research
Ayesha M Shaukat, Joel G Breman, F Ellis McKenzie Malaria Journal 2010, 9:122 (12 May 2010) The paper describes an analysis of eight published studies that measured entomological inoculation rates in areas where insecticide-treated nets, indoor residual spraying, and/or source reduction were used, compared with control areas where the measures were not applied. The authors report that none of the interventions or combined interventions sustained an annual EIR below one and, therefore, could not lead to the interruption of malaria transmission and eventual elimination.

While there has been much discussion about how long LLINs last, there has been little discussion over which are most acceptable to communities. If the nets are not used, it doesn't matter how long they last. This paper represents a welcome addition to our information on how to select the most appropriate product when implementing and LLIN programmes.
