Review
The epidemiology of postpartum malaria: a systematic review Machteld E Boel, Marcus J Rijken, Bernard J Brabin, Francois Nosten, Rose McGready Malaria Journal 2012, 11:114 (13 April 2012) The major findings of this review are a decrease in the risk of malaria infection after delivery (compared to the gestational period), but still a higher risk in the postpartum compared to non-pregnant controls. The authors discuss the protection conferred in the postpartum by IPTp or chemoprophylaxis, and the risk of recrudescence of resistant parasites due to inadequate treatment in the gestational period.

Review
Johanna H Kattenberg, Eleanor A Ochodo, Kimberly R Boer, Henk DFH Schallig, Petra F Mens, Mariska MG Leeflang Malaria Journal 2011, 10:321 (28 October 2011) A thorough review of malaria diagnostic comparisons for the detection of malaria in pregnancy. The paper demonstrates that most of the available information is from Africa and involves the detection of P. falciparum, while our knowledge of issues outside Africa and for the detection of non-falciparum species are very limited.
