I work for PLoS but I was alerted to this article via the NY Times, which I was pleased to see cover it and highlight how the threat of counterfeit/substandard antimalarials, thought by me to be a problem largely confined to SE Asia, is growing in Africa. Thank you for this important and well presented article.
