TL;DR: It is estimated that there were 515 (range 300–660) million episodes of clinical P. falciparum malaria in 2002, up to 50% higher than those reported by the World Health Organization and 200% higher for areas outside Africa, reflecting the WHO's reliance upon passive national reporting for these countries.

TL;DR: This 2007 global P. falciparum malaria endemicity map is the first of a series with which it will be possible to monitor and evaluate the progress of this intervention process, and shows significant opportunities for malaria control in Africa and for malaria elimination elsewhere.

TL;DR: This paper used geographic information systems in combination with historical maps to quantify the anthropogenic impact on the distribution of malaria in the 20th century, finding that despite human activities reducing by half the land area supporting malaria, demographic changes resulted in a 2 billion increase in the total population exposed to malaria risk.

TL;DR: Spatially explicit mobile phone data and malaria prevalence information from Kenya are used to identify the dynamics of human carriers that drive parasite importation between regions and identifies importation routes that contribute to malaria epidemiology on regional spatial scales.

TL;DR: The Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030 emphasizes the need for universal coverage of core malaria interventions for all populations at risk and highlights the importance of using high-quality surveillance data for decision-making.
