Research    
Spread of anti-malarial drug resistance: Mathematical model with implications for ACT drug policies
Wirichada Pongtavornpinyo, Shunmay Yeung, Ian M Hastings, Arjen M Dondorp, Nicholas PJ Day, Nicholas J White
Malaria Journal 2008, 7:229 (2 November 2008)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF]

This article describes a new simulation model for malaria. It is, quite obviously, not the first model of its type, but it is an exceptional example of a simulation model. The model is complex enough to give some confidence in the epidemiological significance.



Research    
Spatio-seasonal modeling of the incidence rate of malaria in Mozambique
Rosa Abellana, Carlos Ascaso, John Aponte, Francisco Saute, Delino Nhalungo, Ariel Delino, Pedro Alonso
Malaria Journal 2008, 7:228 (31 October 2008)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF]

The paper offers important insights to the possibility of disentangling the effects of two important dimensions for malaria incidence studies: time and space. The use of spatial models to understand the relationship of the incidence of malaria, including spatial correlation nested to climatic season is interesting and appropriate.



Research    
Willingness and ability to pay for artemisinin-based combination therapy in rural Tanzania
Eleonor C Saulo, Birger C Forsberg, Zul Premji, Scott M Montgomery, Anders Bjorkman
Malaria Journal 2008, 7:227 (31 October 2008)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF]

The paper explores the socio-economic factors associated with willingness and ability to pay for anti-malarials for children below five years of age in a rural setting in Tanzania.



Research    
The effect of a single blood meal on the phenotypic expression of insecticide resistance in the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus
Belinda L Spillings, Maureen Coetzee, Lizette L Koekemoer, Basil D Brooke
Malaria Journal 2008, 7:226 (31 October 2008)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]

This study shows how the nutrients obtained in blood meals may enhance the level of resistance to insecticides presumably through a process of enzyme upregulation, presumably due to physiological changes in the resistant mosquito.



Research    
Assessment of the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of two combination regimens of fosmidomycin-clindamycin in patients with acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria
Ronnatrai Ruengweerayut, Sornchai Looareesuwan, David Hutchinson, Anurak Chauemung, Vick Banmairuroi, Kesara Na-Bangchang
Malaria Journal 2008, 7:225 (31 October 2008)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]

This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of fosmidomycin when given in combination with clindamycin at two dosage regimens in patients with acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria.
