Malaria
Currently, malaria kills more than 300,000 people per year, making it a top priority of world leaders and international organizations, who are working towards implementing and coordinating efforts to eradicate this disease. An effective malaria vaccine is recognized as the key element that will decide between success and failure in this fight. At present, despite intensive research efforts, such a vaccine is not yet available for use. However, there are a number of advanced candidate vaccines with high chances of success in the short term. Malaria: Immune Response to Infection and Vaccination provides a comprehensive view on the immune response to malaria and to the different vaccines under development. The book offers the following: - Contributions by top research leaders in the field, - Comparisons of the immune responses to both malaria infection and malaria vaccines, which are traditionally treated separately, - Coverage of the immune responses to the different stages of malaria, which are frequently treated as separate fields of research.

The Pen-Pictures of Modern Africans and African Celebrities by Charles Francis Hutchison
The Pen-Pictures is a well-known source for the history of the Gold Coast, modern Ghana, cited and quoted by both professional historians and interested lay-people. This annotated edition is the first reprint of the book and offers a lively and both historically and literarily interesting text about an important phase in Ghanaian history. The added introduction and annotation offer a context hitherto unavailable to the scholar and general reader.
Kakaamotobe
Kakaamotobe, meaning to scare, is known across southern Ghana, West Africa, as Fancy Dress performance. Masqueraders dress in colorful costumes and wear fancy and fierce masks; they dance energetically to drums or brass band music through the main streets of town during holidays, especially during Christmastime. Competitions held in two towns are intense annual events. This lively secular masquerade is a carnival form that has been practiced for well over a century primarily by coastal Fante people, and many additional ethnicities participate today. Kakaamotobe: Fancy Dress Carnival in Ghana explores the fascinating history, aesthetics, performance, and underlying messages of this masquerade...

Malaria - Transmission, Diagnosis and Treatment
The many control efforts against malaria have led to averting many but not all malaria-related deaths; thus, malaria remains a major public health challenge, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. This suggests that factors permissive of malaria parasite perpetuation are still in operation. An understanding of the dynamics of these factors and sufficient deployment of antimalarial strategies are crucial for the control and elimination of the disease. This book identifies environmental factors supporting vector survival, behavior, and access to human hosts, as well as the phenomenon of asymptomatic malaria infections, as some of the important factors of malaria transmission. It also discusses contemporary developments of malaria diagnostic tools with improved sensitivity, patient friendliness, and minimal requirements for sophisticated equipment or skills. Finally, this book also provides an overview of current insights into the malaria treatment landscape, which depends on the parasite species, disease severity, and drug susceptibility profiles of local parasites, among others.
