Samir Bhatt,Peter W. Gething,Oliver J. Brady,Jane P. Messina,Andrew Farlow,Catherine L. Moyes,John M. Drake,John M. Drake,John S. Brownstein,Anne G. Hoen,Osman Sankoh,Osman Sankoh,Monica F. Myers,Dylan B. George,Thomas Jaenisch,G. R. William Wint,Cameron P. Simmons,Thomas W. Scott,Thomas W. Scott,Jeremy Farrar,Jeremy Farrar,Simon I. Hay,Simon I. Hay +22 more
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.

Global malaria mortality between 1980 and 2010: a systematic analysis
Christopher J L Murray,Lisa C. Rosenfeld,Stephen S Lim,Kathryn G. Andrews,Kyle J Foreman,Diana Haring,Nancy Fullman,Mohsen Naghavi,Rafael Lozano,Alan D. Lopez +9 more
TL;DR: The findings show that the malaria mortality burden is larger than previously estimated, especially in adults, and there has been a rapid decrease in malaria mortality in Africa because of the scaling up of control activities supported by international donors.

Refining the global spatial limits of dengue virus transmission by evidence-based consensus
Oliver J. Brady,Peter W. Gething,Samir Bhatt,Jane P. Messina,John S. Brownstein,Anne G. Hoen,Catherine L. Moyes,Andrew Farlow,Thomas W. Scott,Thomas W. Scott,Simon I. Hay,Simon I. Hay +11 more
TL;DR: A contemporary global map of national-level dengue status is generated that assigns a relative measure of certainty and identifies gaps in the available evidence and provides a preliminary estimate of population at risk with an upper bound of 3.97 billion people.

A long neglected world malaria map: Plasmodium vivax endemicity in 2010.

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: Interventions using current tools can result in major reductions in P. falciparum malaria transmission and the associated disease burden in Africa, although considerable reductions in prevalence can be achieved with existing tools and realistic coverage levels.
