<p style="margin: 0px;">Dear Maryse,</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Thank you so much for your review of the game, we are thrilled to have you test out the content for us.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I will make changes regarding points 1 to 4 in your email to make the narrative clearer. I will also fix the various developer typos and messages etc.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">With regard to</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">"This map shows only the distribution of Malaria Falciparum, while<br />
 there are 3 other types. I would be more accurate to take a map showing<br />
 countries infected by any types of Malaria parasites."</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">So far I only have open source data for P.falciparum from the Malaria atlas project:</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><a href="http://www.map.ox.ac.uk/">http://www.map.ox.ac.uk/</a></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">and have not found any data for bergei, yoelli,chabaudi. I will be happy to include maps if you could suggest any data sources for these strains? </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Will it be easy to swap the world map to a Map of the Pacific region<br />
> if we want to adapt it for OLPC Oceania?</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">In the next release towards the end of August I hope to include all maps from the malaria atlas, for each continent and endemic country including Pacific regions for P.falciparum. I don't recall any maps for the other strains but again would be grateful for any direction.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Thank you once again for your reviews. I hope to now create a pootle translation project and will try and get the application translated.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Best wishes</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">World Class Project</p>
