MESA News: Operational research projects share findings with local stakeholders
Tags:
Three MESA-funded projects in Cambodia, Kenya and Tanzania looked at what can be done to reduce efficacy decay of malaria interventions in different settings, and the feasibility of clearing parasites from asymptomatic people. As the projects wrap-up, the research groups are sharing findings with National Malaria Control Programmes, Ministries of Health, as well as national research networks.
News from MESA: The UK Parliament's 750th birthday & malaria research

On the UK Parliament's 750th birthday, the All Party Parliamentary Group met to discuss collaborative initiatives in malaria research.
In the historic setting of the Palace of Westminster, on January 20th, the All Party Parliamentary Group on Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases (APPMG) met to discuss collaborative initiatives in malaria research. Last year, the UK Government pledged to increase funding for the fight against malaria up to £500 million every year, a goal the APPMG hopes to see achieved in 2015.
NEW from MESA: 'Assessing the human infectious reservoir of malaria', webcasts from ASTMH

By: MESA Project Officer Mar Velarde
Do not miss the webcasts from ASTMH on 'Assessing the human infectious reservoir of malaria'. The session highlights important scientific advances as well as gaps of knowledge in this field. As the speakers explained during this session, currently we do not have a marker of infectiousness and we rely on mosquito feeding assays to assess infectivity. Although membrane feeding assays have shortcomings in estimating infectiousness, they can provide relevant information.

News via MESA: Cross-sectional surveys needed for P. vivax endemicity map update
Tags:
In early 2015, the Malaria Atlas Project (MAP) team will update the global P. vivax endemicity map (see 2010 map here) and use this to generate global estimates of clinical cases. The maps and case estimates have widespread policy and advocacy use, so it is important to make these as robust and up-to-date as possible.
We invite you to collaborate with the MAP team to ensure that the map is fully comprehensive by sharing any parasite rate surveys you have.
