Description

Admittedly, the world and the nature of forced migration have changed a great deal over the last two decades. The relevance of data accumulated during that time period can now be called into question. The roundtable and the Program on Forced Migration at the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University have commissioned a series of epidemiological reviews on priority public health problems for forced migrants that will update the state of knowledge. Malaria Control During Mass Population Movements and Natural Disasters -- the first in the series provides a basic overview of the state of knowledge of epidemiology of malaria and public health interventions and practices for controlling the disease in situations involving forced migration and conflict.

Reviews

"...a concise, readable overview of recent scientific literature relevant to establishing malaria control programmes in emergency situations. ... Two particularly nice features of the book are the summaries of key points included at the end of each chapter and the extensive bibliography of the literature covered in the review. ... In summary, the book provides a welcome and highly readable review of research relevant for planning malaria control programmes in emergency situations..."
