	1.	Research Community perceptions of a malaria vaccine in the Kintampo districts of Ghana Lawrence G Febir, Kwaku P Asante, Dan-Bright S Dzorgbo, Kojo A Senah, Timothy S Letsa, Seth Owusu-Agyei Malaria Journal 2013, 12:156 (7 May 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary A sound contribution to our understanding about community perceptions of a malaria vaccine in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana. The study results are of significant interest to the scientific community as our knowledge on acceptance/rejection of malaria vaccines is limited to date. Furthermore, the data on the role of religious leaders in promoting health-seeking behaviour and participation in vaccination initiatives like EPI is highly relevant for policy makers in the light of earlier vaccination controversies in West Africa and elsewhere.

	24.	Review *Diversity and transmission competence in lymphatic filariasis vectors in West Africa, and the implications for accelerated elimination of Anopheles-transmitted filariasis* Dziedzom K de Souza, Benjamin Koudou, Louise A Kelly-Hope, Michael D Wilson, Moses J Bockarie, Daniel A Boakye Parasites & Vectors 2012, 5:259 (14 November 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary In areas where the vector species transmitting Wuchereria bancrofti are Anopheles mosquitoes, it is feasible to eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) using Mass Drug Administration alone. This review outlines the differences in the diversity and transmission competence in the An. gambiae vectors of LF in West Africa, and the challenges it poses to the 2020 elimination goal. It calls for a better understanding of the vector competence of mosquitoes infected with W. bancrofti in different areas and a supplementation of MDA activities with vector control.
