Editor’s summary
Three sympatric Plasmodium species were recorded during this study with a high gametocyte prevalence in species other than P. falciparum. While P. falciparum occurred ithroughout the study period, P. malariae and P. ovale were highly prevalent after the rainy season.

Editor’s summary
The results show that a sample of field-caught Anopheles plumbeus has a moderate to high receptivity towards Plasmodium falciparum. Considering the increased mobility of humans between Europe and malaria endemic countries and changes in environment and climate, these data strongly suggest that this mosquito species could act as a vector for malaria and thus significantly contribute to increasing the malaria transmission risk in Central-Western Europe.

Editor’s summary
The case report describes the microscopic examination of a bone marrow biopsy. In the analysis, the majority of immature stages are found outside the vascular structure, unlike the (very few) mature stages, more frequently observed in the vascular spaces. This observation supports the intriguing hypothesis that most of sexual stage differentiation occurs extravascularly, while gametocyte maturation is associated to re-entry in circulation.
