High throughput PCR analyses of leftover dried blood spots enabled us to map and quantify malaria endemicity in the DRC without the need for a dedicated and complex malaria indicator survey.
After decades of intense research aimed at finding a vaccine for the complex malaria parasite, the most advanced vaccine candidate, RTS,S, is now close to being licensed.
The conceptual model used in this study provides insight into a complex disease, malaria, by listing all the potential risk factors influencing the transmission capacity of the vectors and the malaria prevalence in the human population.
The second ICEMR is Center for the Studies of Complex Malaria in India with an urban site, Chennai, with the urban malaria vector An.
In addition, the observed small scale spatial diversity of var genes suggests that var genetics could greatly inform current malaria mapping approaches [45] as well as predict complex malaria population dynamics due to the import of var types to areas where there is no widespread pre-existing immunity in the population.

The second thermostabilized vaccine the foundation is still backing is a complex one against malaria.
In East Africa, the presence of highlands causes a complex pattern of malaria distribution.
For the PRIME trial (19), we developed a complex intervention targeting malaria case management at public health centres in Uganda.
A novel intervention like a malaria vaccine will enter a complex arena of existing malaria control measures, and an environment of multiple new vaccines being considered by countries.
