Lies Durnez, Wim Van Bortel, Leen Denis, Patricia Roelants, Aurélie Veracx, Ho Dinh Trung, Tho Sochantha, Marc Coosemans Malaria Journal 2011, 10:195 (18 July 2011) This study estimates the level of sporozoite ELISA false positivity among different anopheline species in Cambodia and Vietnam, and checks for the presence of other parasites that might interact with the ELISA monoclonal antibodies. The issue of false positivity is an important one and the study raises a number of thought-provoking questions.

Pattern of malaria transmission along the Rahad River basin, Eastern Sudan Yousif E Himeidan, Mervet M Elzaki, Eliningaya J Kweka, Muntaser Ibrahim, Ibrahim M Elhassan Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:109 (16 June 2011) Along seasonal river basins of eastern Sudan, the number of infective bites due to the malaria vector fluctuates with bimodal annual peaks followed the rainfall and the subsequent recess of the rivers upon its fragmentation into disparate ponds of water. This latter creates adequate breeding habitats, during the hot and cool and dry seasons, for the principal malaria vector, An. arabiensis.
