TL;DR: These new risk maps and infection estimates provide novel insights into the global, regional and national public health burden imposed by dengue and will help to guide improvements in disease control strategies using vaccine, drug and vector control methods, and in their economic evaluation.

TL;DR: Analysis of this record and Pacific and Indian Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies, coupled with satellite normalized difference vegetation index data, shows that prediction of Rift Valley fever outbreaks may be made up to 5 months in advance of outbreaks in East Africa.

TL;DR: This first systematic effort to map the global endemicity of Plasmodium vivax is presented, intended to contribute to a much-needed paradigm shift towards geographically stratified and evidence-based planning for P. v Vivax control and elimination.

TL;DR: Temperature, rainfall, vapour pressure and the number of months suitable for P. falciparum transmission have not changed significantly during the past century or during the period of reported malaria resurgence, suggesting claimed associations between local malaria resurgences and regional changes in climate are overly simplistic.

TL;DR: It is concluded that intrinsic population dynamics offer the most parsimonious explanation for the observed interepidemic periods of disease in dengue hemorrhagic fever and Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Bangkok and western Kenya.
