A host of information to keep you busy:

• Looks like RDTs through drug shops won’t work. The same story with subsidized drugs?
• Mass drug administration with ivermectin to reduce mosquito survival (very novel research with a drug better known for river blindness control)
• World Malaria Report 2010 – at a glance looks great but do we need a new report annually? I know it’s a lot of work for the WHO staff…
• The malaria eradication research agenda in PloS from the malERA group – better than the Lancet series but many read like meeting reports
