Editor’s summary
Plasmodium HGXPRT can protect mice against Plasmodium yoelii infection in a T cell-dependent manner and has been proposed as a novel vaccine candidate. This studies looks at how natural exposure to Plasmodium falciparum stimulates HGXPRT T-cell reactivity in humans.

Editor’s summary
Anti-malarial drug clinical trials are conducted both to monitor anti-malarial drug resistance and to compare treatment regimens. Estimates of anti-malarial clinical efficacy vary significantly depending on the analytical methodology from which they are derived. This paper compares different ways to estimate the risk of failure in 65 treatment arms from 29 clinical trials.

A large, logistically difficult, malaria survey incorporating facility and community based data. It has interest not only as a description of the malaria epidemiology of the specific geographic area, but as one of the few sites where Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax co-transmission has been examined in detail.
