Malaria resurgence risk in southern Europe: climate assessment in an historically endemic area of rice fields at the Mediterranean shore of Spain
Sandra Sainz-Elipe, Jose Manuel Latorre, Raul Escosa, Monserrat Masia, Marius Vicent Fuentes, Santiago Mas-Coma, Maria Dolores Bargues
Malaria Journal 2010, 9:221 (31 July 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF]

In areas of southern Europen historically endemic for malaria, there have been changes due to an increase of imported malaria cases through immigration, together with climate changes, prolonging the period favouring vector development. This paper analyses the malaria transmission risk in the Ebro Delta, Spain.

Research    
Malaria on isolated Melanesian islands prior to the initiation of malaria elimination activities
The Pacific Malaria Initiative Survey Group [PMISG] ON BEHALF OF the Ministries of Health of Vanuatu and Solomon Islands
Malaria Journal 2010, 9:218 (26 July 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]

Prospective strategies to delay the evolution of anti-malarial drug resistance: weighing the uncertainty
David L Smith, Eili Y Klein, F Ellis McKenzie, Ramanan Laxminarayan
Malaria Journal 2010, 9:217 (23 July 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]

At a global scale, because of uncertainty about the time to the emergence of ACT resistance, there was a strong case for multiple first-line therapies to guard against early failure.

Plasmodium life-cycle and natural history of malaria



This animation, which illustrates, in six short sequences, the various stages of the life-cycle of the malaria parasite in the human host and in its mosquito vector, has been conceived by Professors Christophe Rogier et Marcel Hommel.
