Yesterday, as mentioned previously, was Dunk Malaria day. I'm on the road today in cold 'n' gloomy Atlanta so pardon the delay, but coturnix has a collection of posts here regarding the topic. Just spent much of the morning hearing about new strategies to control vectors (aimed mostly at dengue, but some ideas could extend to malaria as well) and learning about new malaria drugs (and resistance to old ones), so perhaps I'll be able to put up an overview later in the week. I'm away until Friday, so blogging this week will likely be rather sporadic.

Dunk Malaria is organizing a Malaria Action Day on March 19th, to raise awareness of malaria. The idea is that people net a basketball to symbolize the insecticide treated netting that is the best weapon against malaria. Good.

Today is World Malaria Day, and the World Health Organization reminds us that each year the world sees approximately 250 million malaria cases and nearly 800,000 deaths from the disease.
The World Health Organization has declared today World Malaria Day. Why "World Malaria Day"?
