A new world malaria map: Plasmodium falciparum endemicity in 2010

Peter W. Gething, Anand P. Patil, David L. Smith et al. · 1 Dec 2011

BACKGROUND: Transmission intensity affects almost all aspects of malaria epidemiology and the impact of malaria on human populations. Maps of transmission intensity are necessary to identify populations at different levels of risk and to evaluate objectively options for disease control. To remain relevant operationally, such maps must be updated frequently. Following the first global effort…

Quinine, an old anti-malarial drug in a modern world: role in the treatment of malaria

Jane Achan, Ambrose Talisuna, Annette Erhart et al. · 24 May 2011

Quinine remains an important anti-malarial drug almost 400 years after its effectiveness was first documented. However, its continued use is challenged by its poor tolerability, poor compliance with complex dosing regimens, and the availability of more efficacious anti-malarial drugs. This article reviews the historical role of quinine, considers its current usage and provides insight into…

Increased proportions of outdoor feeding among residual malaria vector populations following increased use of insecticide-treated nets in rural Tanzania

Tanya L. Russell, Nicodem J. Govella, Salum Azizi et al. · 9 Apr 2011

BACKGROUND: Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) represent the front-line tools for malaria vector control globally, but are optimally effective where the majority of baseline transmission occurs indoors. In the surveyed area of rural southern Tanzania, bed net use steadily increased over the last decade, reducing malaria transmission intensity by 94%. METHODS: Starting…

Plant-based insect repellents: a review of their efficacy, development and testing

Marta F. Maia, Sarah Moore · 15 Mar 2011

Plant-based repellents have been used for generations in traditional practice as a personal protection measure against host-seeking mosquitoes. Knowledge on traditional repellent plants obtained through ethnobotanical studies is a valuable resource for the development of new natural products. Recently, commercial repellent products containing plant-based ingredients have gained increasing popularity among consumers, as these are commonly…

Determinants of relapse periodicity in Plasmodium vivax malaria

Nicholas J. White · 11 Oct 2011

Plasmodium vivax is a major cause of febrile illness in endemic areas of Asia, Central and South America, and the horn of Africa. Plasmodium vivax infections are characterized by relapses of malaria arising from persistent liver stages of the parasite (hypnozoites) which can be prevented only by 8-aminoquinoline anti-malarials. Tropical P. vivax relapses at three…
