	3.	Research Long term study on the effect of mollusciciding with niclosamide in stream habitats on the transmission of schistosomiasis mansoni after community-based chemotherapy in Makueni District, Kenya Henry C Kariuki, Henry Madsen, John H Ouma, Anthony E Butterworth, David W Dunne, Mark Booth, Gachuhi Kimani, Joseph K Mwatha, Eric Muchiri, Birgitte J Vennervald Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:107 (18 April 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| ePUB \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary This study compares reinfection of people by Schistosoma mansoni over a 4 year period after treatment with praziquantel between two areas, one where the chemotherapy was followed by regular mollusciciding in transmission sites (Intervention) and one where no other control measures were implemented after the initial chemotherapy (Non-intervention area). The study shows that mollusciciding significantly reduces reinfection. Image: Checking site for Biomphalaria pfeifferi.

Research A shift from Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) with bendiocarb to Long-Lasting Insecticidal (mosquito) Nets (LLINs) associated with changes in malaria transmission indicators in pyrethroid resistance areas in Benin Razaki A Ossè, Rock Aïkpon, Ghélus Louis Gbédjissi, Virgile Gnanguenon, Michel Sèzonlin, Renaud Govoétchan, Arthur Sovi, Olivier Oussou, Frédéric Oké-Agbo, Martin Akogbéto Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:73 (16 March 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| ePUB \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Entomological monitoring results for the year prior IRS withdrawal and the year afterwards, indicate that LLINs did not impact indicators of transmission to the same level as did IRS. EIR increased in Adjohoun, Dangbo and Misserete but decreased in Seme district. Image: A shift of IRS by LLIN may impact the transmission of malaria
	6.	Research article A bibliometric analysis of childhood immunization research productivity in Africa since the onset of the Expanded Program on Immunization in 1974 Charles S Wiysonge, Olalekan A Uthman, Peter M Ndumbe, Gregory D Hussey BMC Medicine 2013, 11:66 (14 March 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Since the onset of the Expanded Program on Immunization, vaccine research productivity in Africa has skewed towards those funded privately, with minimal research input from African authors, suggesting a need for better communication between all stakeholders.

	8.	Research A dynamic model of some malaria-transmitting anopheline mosquitoes of the Afrotropical region. II. Validation of species distribution and seasonal variations Torleif M Lunde, Meshesha Balkew, Diriba Korecha, Teshome Gebre-Michael, Fekadu Massebo, Asgeir Sorteberg, Bernt Lindtjørn Malaria Journal 2013, 12:78 (25 February 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| ePUB \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Validation of a mathematical model described earlier. Overall, the model gives a realistic representation of seasonal and year-to-year variability in mosquito densities and it can accurately predict the distribution of An. gambiae s.s. and An. arabiensis in sub-Saharan Africa. It may be used for seasonal and long-term predictions of changes in the burden of malaria.
	9.	Research Comparative field evaluation of combinations of long-lasting insecticide treated nets and indoor residual spraying, relative to either method alone, for malaria prevention in an area where the main vector is Anopheles arabiensis Fredros O Okumu, Edgar Mbeyela, Godfrey Lingamba, Jason Moore, Alex J Ntamatungiro, Deo R Kavishe, Michael G Kenward, Elizabeth Turner, Lena M Lorenz, Sarah J Moore Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:46 (22 February 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| ePUB \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Where the primary malaria vector is Anopheles arabiensis, adding IRS into houses with intact pyrethroid based LLINs does not enhance protection, except where the IRS employs highly mosquitocidal non-pyrethroids. In contrast, adding intact nets onto IRS enhances protection by preventing mosquito blood feeding (even if the nets are non-insecticidal) and by modestly increasing mosquito mortality (in case of LLINs). The primary mode of action of intact LLINs against An. arabiensis is demonstrated here to be primarily bite prevention rather than insecticidal activity. Image: A diagrammatic representation of simultaneous use of bednets and indoor residual spraying in the same house.

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.

	15.	Research Physical condition and maintenance of mosquito bed nets in Kwale County, coastal Kenya Francis M Mutuku, Maureen Khambira, Donal Bisanzio, Peter Mungai, Isaac Mwanzo, Eric M Muchiri, Charles H King, Uriel Kitron Malaria Journal 2013, 12:46 (1 February 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary While mosquito net ownership has improved, the use and maintenance of mosquito nets has very seldom been taken into account during NMCP or regional planning. This is partly because of the lack of knowledge about the rate at which nets deteriorate during their use, or what drives net use and maintenance.

	23.	Research Scaling-up malaria treatment: a review of the performance of different providers Mohga M Kamal-Yanni, Julien Potet, Philippa M Saunders Malaria Journal 2012, 11:414 (12 December 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Access to life saving malaria treatment within 24 hours of symptom onset is still far below the RBM targets. Improved case management requires a strengthened health system including community health initiatives and working with non-public sector compartments of the health system. The paper reviews different aspects of provider performance in the different compartments: public sector, community health workers and the private sector.

	25.	Research Epidemiology of Plasmodium knowlesi malaria in north-east Sabah, Malaysia: family clusters and wide age distribution Bridget E Barber, Timothy William, Prabakaran Dhararaj, Fread Anderios, Matthew J Grigg, Tsin W Yeo, Nicholas M Anstey Malaria Journal 2012, 11:401 (5 December 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| F1000 Biology \| Editor’s summary Plasmodium knowlesi is the most common cause of malaria admissions to Kudat District Hospital, Sabah. The wide age distribution and presence of family clusters suggest that transmission may be occurring close to or inside people?s homes, in contrast to previous reports from densely forested areas of Sarawak. These findings have significant implications for malaria control.
