	9.	Research Impact of malaria during pregnancy on pregnancy outcomes in a Ugandan prospective cohort with intensive malaria screening and prompt treatment Pierre De Beaudrap, Eleanor Turyakira, Lisa J White, Carolyn Nabasumba, Benon Tumwebaze, Atis Muehlenbachs, Philippe J Guérin, Yap Boum, Rose McGready, Patrice Piola Malaria Journal 2013, 12:139 (24 April 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Malaria in pregnancy is a major public health problem in endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa and has important consequences on birth outcome. In this study, the timing, parasitaemia level and number of peripherally-detected malaria infections, but not the presence of fever, were associated with adverse birth outcomes. Hence, prompt malaria detection and treatment should be offered to pregnant women, with increased focus on mothers living in remote areas.

The analysis of patient-level data examining the efficacy of AS&AQ compared to local standard therapy, makes a strong case for the use of AS&AQ in all transmission settings.
	15.	Research Multiple host-switching of Haemosporidia parasites in bats Linda Duval, Vincent Robert, Gabor Csorba, Alexandre Hassanin, Milijaona Randrianarivelojosia, Joe Walston, Thy Nhim, Steve M Goodman, Frédéric Ariey Malaria Journal 2007, 6:157 (29 November 2007) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Understanding parasites of bats has a broad significance to the study of a potential emergence of infectious disease in humans; in addition, studies of haemosporida in bats are rare and these are the first molecular data available. The geographical location of the study in Madagascar and Cambodia, two areas of considerable animal biodiversity, is also noteworthy.

Research *Global sequence variation in the histidine-rich proteins 2 and 3 of Plasmodium falciparum:* implications for the performance of malaria rapid diagnostic tests** Joanne Baker, Mei-Fong Ho, Anita Pelecanos, Michelle Gatton, Nanhua Chen, Salim Abdullah, Audrey Albertini, Frederic Ariey, John Barnwell, David Bell, Jane Cunningham, Djibrine Djalle, Diego F Echeverry, Dionicia Gamboa, Jeffery Hii, Myat Kyaw, Jennifer Luchavez, Christopher Membi, Didier Menard, Claribel Murillo, Sina Nhem, Bernhards Ogutu, Pamela Onyor, Wellington Oyibo, Shan Wang, James McCarthy, Qin Cheng Malaria Journal 2010, 9:129 (17 May 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary This paper describes the extensive sequencing and comparison of histidine-rich proteins II and III deduced protein sequences in a significant collection of samples from malaria transmission areas around the globe. The authors report the characterization of a number of features of this exceedingly variable protein, but fail to find a correlation between the variability of the protein and the sensitivity of rapid diagnostic tests.

	19.	Review World Antimalarial Resistance Network (WARN) IV: Clinical pharmacology Karen I Barnes, Niklas Lindegardh, Olumide Ogundahunsi, Piero Olliaro, Christopher V Plowe, Milijaona Randrianarivelojosia, Grace O Gbotosho, William M Watkins, Carol H Sibley, Nicholas J White Malaria Journal 2007, 6:122 (6 September 2007) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary The determinants of treatment response are multi-factorial, but reaching adequate blood concentrations is pivotal to cure. Pharmacokinetic data can inform on optimal dosing, but only small number of patients have been studied, with even less conducted in the most vulnerable populations. A better understanding of the pharmacokinetic properties of antimalarials and a more clear definition of what constitutes “therapeutic drug levels” would allow more precise use of the term “antimalarial resistance”, as it would indicate when treatment failure is not caused by intrinsic parasite resistance but is the result of inadequate drug levels.
	20.	Research **Ex vivo activity of the ACT new components pyronaridine and piperaquine in comparison with conventional ACT drugs against isolates of Plasmodium falciparum** Aurélie Pascual, Philippe Parola, Françoise Benoit-Vical, Fabrice Simon, Denis Malvy, Stéphane Picot, Pascal Delaunay, Didier Basset, Danièle Maubon, Bernard Faugère, Guillaume Ménard, Nathalie Bourgeois, Claude Oeuvray, Eric Didillon, Christophe Rogier, Bruno Pradines Malaria Journal 2012, 11:45 (14 February 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary The susceptibility of the 181 P. falciparum isolates to the nine anti-malarial drugs was assessed using the standard 42-hours 3H-hypoxanthine uptake inhibition method.
	21.

Moreover, with previous reports, their findings in Mauritania now illustrate that the capacity of P. vivax to infect Duffy-negatives spans from coastal western Africa to eastern African study locations in Kenya and in Madagascar.
