Evidence of decline of malaria in the general hospital of Libreville, Gabon from 2000 to 2008 Marielle Bouyou-Akotet, Denise Mawili-Mboumba, Eric Kendjo, Modeste Mabika-Mamfoumbi, Edgard Ngoungou, Arnaud Dzeing-Ella, Mireille Pemba-Mihindou, Euloge Ibinga, Emmanuel Efame-Eya, Tim Planche, Peter G Kremsner, Maryvonne Kombila Malaria Journal 2009, 8:300 (17 December 2009) This paper describes a changing slide positivity rate among paediatric in-patients and out-patients presenting to a tertiary level hospital in Libreville, Gabon. This is an important data series as it is represents a long time-series of quality-assured parasitological diagnoses.

Review
The use of schools for malaria surveillance and programme evaluation in Africa Simon Brooker, Jan H Kolaczinski, Carol W Gitonga, Abdisalan M Noor, Robert W Snow Malaria Journal 2009, 8:231 (19 October 2009) This paper reviews the historical experience and current rationale for the use of schools and school children as a complementary, inexpensive framework for planning, monitoring and evaluating malaria control in Africa.

The strength of the study is the ten-year long observation time.
