This paper looks at fundamental characteristics of party organizations in the two federalist countries Switzerland and Canada. It addresses the question to what extent different forms of federalism directly affect the organization of political parties, and raises multi-dimensional questions such as: Do political parties in both countries operate the same way? To what extent are party organizations on national and on subnational level independent? How are candidates or party leaders on higher level selected? How is membership organized? Are there any financial transfers between the different layers of parties and how is party funding organized?

Abstract Malaria has been part of Peruvian life since at least the 1500s. While Peru gave the world quinine, one of the first treatments for malaria, its history is pockmarked with endemic malaria and occasional epidemics. In this review, major increases in Peruvian malaria incidence over the past hundred years are described, as well as the human factors that have facilitated these events, and concerted private and governmental efforts to control malaria. Political support for malaria control has varied and unexpected events like vector and parasite resistance have adversely impacted morbidity and mortality. Though the ready availability of novel insecticides like DDT and efficacious medications reduced malaria to very low levels for a decade after the post eradication era, malaria reemerged as an important modern day challenge to Peruvian public health. Its reemergence sparked collaboration between domestic and international partners towards the elimination of malaria in Peru.
