TL;DR: It is found that Plasmodium falciparum infection prevalence in endemic Africa halved and the incidence of clinical disease fell by 40% between 2000 and 2015, and interventions have averted 663 (542–753 credible interval) million clinical cases since 2000.

TL;DR: A map that quantifies travel time to cities for 2015 at a spatial resolution of approximately one by one kilometre is developed and validated and it is demonstrated how access to urban centres stratifies the economic, educational, and health status of humanity.

TL;DR: In an era when precision public health increasingly has the potential to transform the design, implementation, and impact of health programmes, high-resolution estimates of child mortality in Africa provide a baseline against which local, national, and global stakeholders can map the pathways for ending preventable child deaths by 2030.

TL;DR: The structure of the approach allows estimation of the error associated with each gap-filled pixel based on the distance to the non-gap pixels used to model its fill value, thus providing a mechanism for including uncertainty associated with the gap-filling process in downstream applications of the resulting datasets.

TL;DR: It is estimated that rates of ITN loss from households are more rapid than previously thought, with 50% lost after 23 (20–28) months, and it is predicted that the current estimate of 920 million additional ITNs required to achieve universal coverage would in reality yield a lower level of coverage.
