Research
Manmohan Shukla, Neeru Singh, Mrigendra P Singh Malaria Journal 2011, 10:381 (21 December 2011) Albeit the usefulness (and limitations) of spleen rate and parasite rates as malaria metrics is already covered by an abundant literature, this study is presented as standard surveillance data that could be helpful to local health authorities.

Review
How absolute is zero? An evaluation of historical and current definitions of malaria elimination Justin M Cohen, Bruno Moonen, Robert W Snow, David L Smith Malaria Journal 2010, 9:213 (22 July 2010) This article is part of a collection on Towards malaria... A highly informative review of the definitions of control, elimination and eradication of malaria and their influence on policy with an elegant mathematical examination, combined with a reappraisal of this nomenclature for operational clarity. The authors make the case for the malaria research and control community to reach a consensus on the definitions of these terms so that the relative success of national control and elimination programmes can be assessed.
