New web portal launched. Find over 1,800 products using our Resource Browser, including estimates of populations at malaria risk, mosquito distributions and bionomics, and maps of malaria endemicity.

Atlas of Malaria Eliminating Countries is launched. The Malaria Atlas Project recently collaborated with the UCSF Global Health Group to produce an Atlas of Malaria-Eliminating Countries and an Atlas of the Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network.

Coming soon - contemporary estimates of the global burden of sickle-cell disease.
