TL;DR: Serological markers were able to detect spatial variation in malaria transmission at the microepidemiological level, and they have the potential to form an effective method for spatial targeting of malaria control efforts.

TL;DR: Sustainability over several years of benefits against malarial morbidity of insecticide‐treated nets and whether, as a result of fading immunity, older age groups ‘paid for’ the benefits which they had enjoyed when younger are investigated.

TL;DR: In an intensely malarious area in north‐east Tanzania, microencapsulated lambdacyhalothrin was used in four villages for treatment of bednets and in another four villages the same insecticide was used for house spraying, concluding that the former intervention would work out cheaper and nets were actively demanded by the villagers, whereas spraying was only passively assented to.

TL;DR: The experience is that teams distributing free ITNs, replacing them after about 4 years when they are torn and retreating them annually, have high productivity and provide more comprehensive and equitable coverage than has been reported for marketing systems.

TL;DR: In the town of Makunduchi, Zanzibar, wet pit latrines provided breeding places for Culex quinquefasciatus and there were few other mosquito breeding places available and the adult mosquito population declined remarkably so that the estimated number of bites per person per year was only about 439.
