Transactions: Volume 119, Issue 7, July 2025
This month’s Editor’s Choice article is from our ongoing ‘From the Archives’ series, where experts give a commentary and update on a paper from the Transactions archives. In this paper, Liu and Richardson revisit Brian Greenwood’s 2009 commentary “Can malaria be eliminated?”, summarising developments and achievements in, and threats to, global malaria elimination efforts over the last decade and a half. Although they conclude that the answer is still ‘yes’ to the question posed by Greenwood, with most of the necessary tools already available, they highlight the many challenges ahead, not least the dramatic cuts in global health funding we have seem over the past months. Malaria is far from being a ‘solved’ problem.”
