A cluster of 6 cases of Plasmodium falciparum malaria occurred in a UK airport among 30 travelers returning to the United States from East Africa. Molecular genotyping analysis indicated that all had been exposed to different parasites. The travelers' use of chemoprophylaxis was poor; their perception of risk was limited.

A new species, Nalassus (Helopocerodes) olgae sp. n., is described from Primorsky Krai in the Russian Far East. A new combination is established: Nalassus (Helopocerodes) magyari (Kaszab, 1968), comb. n. The new species is similar to N. magyari but differs in the sculpture of the metaventrite, larger body and widely flattened lateral sides of the pronotum.

Malaria epidemics in the highlands of East Africa garner significant research attention, due, in part, to their proposed sensitivity to climate change. In a recent article, Zhou et al. claim that increases in climate variance, rather than simple increases in climate mean values, have had an important role in the resurgence of malaria epidemics in the East African highlands since the early 1980s...

These words come from the ancient king Solomon, famous for his wisdom....... and also for his many wives. Here he is urging us to “keep” something; to safeguard it, to value it, because it lies at the foundation of human well-being. It is not our medications or our laryngoscopes that Solomon wants us to protect. These are but tools in our hands to help us manage our medical tasks efficiently. N...

Approximately 230 million people live in Indonesia. The country is also home to over 20 anopheline vectors of malaria which transmit all four of the species of Plasmodium that routinely infect humans. A complex mosaic of risk of infection across this 5000-km-long archipelago of thousands of islands and distinctive habitats seriously challenges efforts to control malaria. Social, economic and po...
