TL;DR: The analysis of the genetic diversity of Bantu speakers revealed adaptive introgression of genes that likely originated in other African populations, including specific immune-related genes, and applied this information to African Americans suggests that gene flow from Africa into the Americas was more complex than previously thought.

TL;DR: Irrespective of resistance, populations in malaria endemic areas should continue to use long-lasting insecticidal nets to reduce their risk of infection and the development of additional vector control tools should be prioritised to reduce the unacceptably high malaria burden.

TL;DR: To fully protect the women during the whole pregnancy, already implemented measures (insecticide-treated nets and intermittent preventive treatment) should be reinforced and a vaccine against pregnancy-associated malaria parasites could protect theWomen in early pregnancy, which seems to be a high-risk period.

TL;DR: The deleterious impact of submicroscopic P. falciparum parasitemia during pregnancy on multiple pregnancy outcomes is documented and imply caution in any revision of the current strategies for prevention of pregnancy-associated malaria.

TL;DR: MQ proved to be highly efficacious--both clinically and parasitologically--for use as IPTp, however, its low tolerability might impair its effectiveness and requires further investigations.
