  • The relative importance of imported compared to local transmission of malaria in island populations is difficult to quantify. Here, the authors perform a quasi-experimental study to assess how travel restrictions to Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the prevalence of malaria on the island.

  • Malaria on Bioko Island has been reduced substantially but many acquire malaria while traveling. Here, the authors use survey data, geostatistical and mathematical modeling to investigate malaria prevalence and mobility patterns and find that in some parts of the island a significant fraction of prevalence is attributable to malaria acquired while traveling.

  • Ludmila Prokunina-Olsson, Thomas O'Brien and colleagues report the discovery of a new gene, INFL4, encoding interferon-λ4, that is upstream of INFL3 (IL28B). A compound dinucleotide frameshift genetic variant in INFL4 creates the full-length INFL4 protein and is more strongly associated with hepatitis C virus clearance in individuals of African ancestry than rs12979860, a known variant associated with clearance.
