TL;DR: In this article, combined genetic data from two genotyping approaches showed that novel P. vivax populations were present in the majority of patients with recurrent infection (107 [72%] of 149 patients overall [78% of patients in Thailand, 75% of patient in Myanmar {Burma}, and 63% of disease patients in India]).

TL;DR: Current recommendations to ensure a safe water supply may have been insufficient to inactivate HEV and control this epidemic in Darfur, which highlights the need to evaluate current water treatment methods and to identify alternative solutions adapted to complex emergencies.

TL;DR: This large epidemic of HEV infection illustrates the dramatic impact of this disease on pregnant women and timely interventions and a vaccine are urgently needed to prevent mortality in this special group of women.

TL;DR: Cally Roper and colleagues analyze the distribution of sulfadoxine resistance mutations and flanking microsatellite loci to trace the emergence and dispersal of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Africa.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed data from 18,699 patients with falciparum malaria treated with an artemisinin derivative in areas of low, moderate and high levels of malaria transmission across the world and identified a simple in vivo screening measure for Artemisinin resistance.
