    Immunology Unit, Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Keppel St, London, WC1E 7HT, UK
    Malar J 2:7. 2003
    ..Studies to date have compared var repertoires of natural isolates from various geographical locations but have not addressed any within-population structure that may exist among repertoires...

    Wilfred F Mbacham
    Biotechnology Centre, University of Yaounde I, Yaounde, Cameroon
    Malar J 9:34. 2010
    ..The prevalence of molecular markers for resistance to these drugs was studied to set the baseline for surveillance of their evolution with time...

    J Infect Dis 183:1254-9. 2001
    ..Artesunate reduced posttreatment infectivity dramatically but did not abolish it completely. The study raises questions about any policy to use pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine alone as the first-line treatment for malaria...

    Geoffrey A Targett
    Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK
    Malar J 7:S10. 2008
    ..This might be achieved with some pre-erythrocytic stage candidate vaccines or by targeting the sexual stages directly with transmission-blocking vaccines. An expanded malaria vaccine programme with such objectives is now a priority...
