从史前到现在，尽管与疟疾进行了艰苦的斗争，但疟疾仍然是人类关注的问题。虽然科学和技术的发展在20世纪使一些传染病得以根除，但疟疾仍然存在。本审查旨在评估如何利用互联网和网络技术防治疟疾。确切地说，抗击疟疾的行为者如何从这些发展中获益，他们如何处理随之而来的现象，如数据量的增加，这些技术是否为抗击疟疾带来了新的机会？审查了与疟疾时空信息相联系的11个网络平台，重点是数据、元数据、网络服务和用户类别。虽然网络平台是高度异构的审查表明，在网络技术的最新进展是未充分利用。信息很少动态更新，没有元数据目录，网络服务越来越多地使用，但很少标准化，网站主要致力于科学界，主要是研究人员。通过标准化提高系统的互操作性是一个可以抓住的机会，以便能够进行真实的实时信息交流和在线多频数据分析。为便利多学科/多尺度研究，可利用链接数据网和语义网创新，正式确定参与防治疟疾工作的行为体的不同观点。通过这样做，可以制定新的疟疾防治战略，以解决联合国千年发展目标报告中列出的瓶颈问题，以及世界卫生组织强调的具体问题，如在国际边界消除疟疾。本文的在线版本（10.1186/s12936-018-2270-0）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
Since prehistory to present times and despite a rough combat against it, malaria remains a concern for human beings. While evolutions of science and technology through times allowed for some infectious diseases eradication in the 20th century, malaria resists. This review aims at assessing how Internet and web technologies are used in fighting malaria. Precisely, how do malaria fighting actors profit from these developments, how do they deal with ensuing phenomena, such as the increase of data volume, and did these technologies bring new opportunities for fighting malaria? Eleven web platforms linked to spatio-temporal malaria information are reviewed, focusing on data, metadata, web services and categories of users. Though the web platforms are highly heterogeneous the review reveals that the latest advances in web technologies are underused. Information are rarely updated dynamically, metadata catalogues are absent, web services are more and more used, but rarely standardized, and websites are mainly dedicated to scientific communities, essentially researchers. Improvement of systems interoperability, through standardization, is an opportunity to be seized in order to allow real time information exchange and online multisource data analysis. To facilitate multidisciplinary/multiscale studies, the web of linked data and the semantic web innovations can be used in order to formalize the different view points of actors involved in the combat against malaria. By doing so, new malaria fighting strategies could take place, to tackle the bottlenecks listed in the United Nation Millennium Development Goals reports, but also specific issues highlighted by the World Health Organization such as malaria elimination in international borders. The online version of this article (10.1186/s12936-018-2270-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
