Methodology
A new tent trap for sampling exophagic and endophagic members of the Anopheles gambiae complex Nicodemus J Govella, Prosper P Chaki, Yvonne Geissbuhler, Khadija Kannady, Fredros Okumu, J Derek Charlwood, Robert A Anderson, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2009, 8:157 (14 July 2009) There have been numerous malaria studies published, which mostly depend on human landing catch or CDC-LT collections, but only few studies have looked at alternative sampling tools, which are needed in resource-poor areas where even batteries are often not available. A tent trap requires only one human person sleeping in it, while all mosquito sampling tools to-date depend on human (volatiles), which vary significantly and hence, sampling is strongly dependent on the odour characteristics of the human host.

Review
Louise A Kelly-Hope, F Ellis McKenzie Malaria Journal 2009, 8:19 (23 January 2009) A paper focusing on an important issue in malaria research and control, namely the precise measurement of transmission intensity. This information is essential in an era where scaling up of malaria control interventions is ongoing at an unprecedented scale.
