Objectives: To determine social, economic, biological and environmental factors critical to malaria control effectiveness in African countries that are with contrasting responses to the malaria control and elimination efforts, and use this information to inform the development of improved malaria control strategies in Africa.Methods: A systematic analysis was conducted using longitudinally collected data from publically available data sources for the period of 2000 and 2016, for 8 African countries with contrasting malaria incidence dynamics. Single- and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to determine the impact of various risk factors on malaria incidence. The risk factors included autocorrelation with a one year time lag, study country, and economic status, internal and external malaria control budgets, bednet coverage, indoor residual spray coverage, and insecticide resistance status.Results: Malaria incidence exhibited highly significant autocorrelation. Per capita government funding for malaria control and insecticide resistance were the two significant factors correlating with malaria incidence. Conclusions: This study indicates the significance of malaria control investment from African countries themselves and insecticide resistance management in malaria control and elimination in Africa. Key Words: Malaria incidence, National government funding, Malaria control effectiveness, Insecticide resistance

Comment s'articulent la participation de la Chine à l'expansion du capitalisme mondial et son appartenance à un modèle de développement non occidental, a priori contradictoire ? Quand le Parti communiste chinois veut raccorder la Chine avec le monde, il s'agit de la raccorder à l'expansion du capitalisme, raccord que défendent culturellement les Chinois enrichis. Mais le choix n'est peut-être pas le même sur le court ou le long terme. C'est ce dont débattent, à partir de positions différentes, les six auteurs chinois réunis ici.
