1982

The Biomathematics of Malaria, by Norman TJ Bailey [1]. This book is a comprehensive review of mathematical epidemiology for malaria from its inception through the 1970s.
The population dynamics of malaria, by Joan Aron and Robert May [2]. This book chapter is a very useful review of malaria. One of the models is covered in a vignette.

1985 – The pros and cons of modelling malaria transmission by Molineaux [3]

1988 – Mathematical models for transmission and control of malaria by Klaus Dietz [4] appeared as a chapter in the two volume set, Malaria: Principles and Practice of Malariology

1991 – On the use of mathematical models of malaria transmission by Jacob Koella [5]

1999 – Review of intra-host models of malaria by Louis Molineaux and Klaus Dietz [6],

2000 – Why Model Malaria? by Ellis McKenzie is an engaging commentary about malaria models [7].

2012 – Ross, Macdonald, and a theory for the dynamics and control of mosquito-transmitted pathogens, led by David Smith [8], reviews development theory for malaria including Ross and Macdonald.

The supporting information includes an annotated bibliography

2013 – A systematic review of mathematical models of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission: 1970-2010, led by Robert Reiner and Alex Perkins [9].

2014 – Recasting the theory of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission dynamics and control, led by David Smith [10],
