Estimating fine-scale spatiotemporal patterns of Plasmodium falciparum transmission showed an association between entomological inoculation rate and parasite prevalence that emphasizes the value of both measures in malaria surveillance.

Analyses of detailed clinical and entomological data from cohort studies reveal how anti-parasite and anti-disease immunity against P. falciparum develop as a function of age and transmission intensity.

A systematic review with multilevel modelling quantified the positive association between human antibodies to Anopheles salivary proteins with Anopheles-human biting rate and epidemiological measures of malaria transmission, highlighting their potential as a tool to measure vector exposure and malaria transmission.

Large-scale genetic surveillance of malaria implemented by National Malaria Control Programmes informs public health decision makers about the spread of strains resistant to antimalarials.

The evolution of insecticide-avoidance behaviour can be used to generate new spatial repellents to keep malaria vectors out of homes.

The optimal allocation strategy prioritizes funding to high-transmission settings in sub-Saharan Africa, but highlights a trade-off between reducing clinical malaria burden and reducing the global population at risk of malaria.

Lower malaria prevalence in females does not appear to be due to lower rates of infection but rather due to faster clearance of asymptomatic infections.

The dominant targets of host immune response to malaria are repeat elements, which are short stretches of amino acids repeated within Plasmodium falciparum proteins, and these are associated with short-lived and exposure-dependent antibody responses.

Mosquitoes with high levels of pyrethroid resistance reduce the ability of bednets to protect those using them and the wider community, which is predicted to substantially increase malaria cases.
