TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effect of infection with the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum on the efficacy of nets treated with either the insecticide deltamethrin or the repellent DEET, measuring the success to pass through the net, blood-feeding on a host and chemicals-induced mortality.

TL;DR: The malaria risk map at high spatial resolution gives an important overview of the geographical distribution of the disease in Côte d’Ivoire and can be utilized for spatial targeting of control interventions and rational resource allocation.

TL;DR: Atorvastatin pre-treatment of EC was found to reduce the expression of adhesion molecules and P. falciparum cytoadherence, to protect cells against PRBC-induced apoptosis and to enhance endothelial monolayer integrity during co-incubation with parasites.

TL;DR: Antimalarial drug pressure varied considerably from one site to another, and was significantly higher in areas with intermediate malaria transmission level and in the most accessible sites.

TL;DR: Test whether screening plus eave tubes (SET) provides protection against malaria, on top of universal coverage with LLINs in an area of intense pyrethroid resistance in Côte d’Ivoire and possibly elsewhere is tested.
