Science Magazine Special Issue on Malaria

Science Magazine recently published nine articles on malaria in a special issue that reviews the current malaria situation and draws attention to the progress achieved in malaria control and elimination efforts. The special issue highlights the remarkable successes in parts of Africa, including the enormous challenges that remain, and examines how the eradication agenda has changed since Bill and Melinda Gates made their historic call for eradication. The special issue also reviews emerging drug resistance in Southeast Asia, malaria vaccine possibilities, and explores the debate over how to best fight malaria, including a close look at malaria elimination on Hispaniola.
