Editor’s summary
Presumptive treatment used to be recommended by WHO, on the assumption that it is safer to treat non-malarial patients with anti-malarials than missing a true case of malaria. With a reduced incidence of malaria, a much increased cost of treatment and the realization of the risks of not identifying the true cause of febrile illness, there is now greater emphasis on accurate biological diagnosis. This study shows the advantages of using RDTs compared to poor quality microscopy.

Editor’s summary
In a 102 week trial, addition of dapagliflozin to metformin therapy for type 2 diabetes patients was effective for glycemic control in those who are inadequately controlled by metformin alone, suggesting a novel therapeutic option for those requiring long-term management.

Editor’s summary
Whether ITNs, IRS or both should be used, and under what transmission environments is an important topic in malaria control and evaluation. The authors used matched regression analyses to assess the association of vector control (ITNs and/or IRS) under routine programme conditions, using national household surveys.

Editor’s summary
204 years after Charles Darwin’s birth, sequencing of the genome of the Darwin’s Finch Geospiza magnirostris reveals over 13,000 predicted genes, of which two under positive selection may have contributed to beak morphology evolution, which so interested Darwin.
