THE UNCERTAIN BURDEN OF EPIDEMICS OF PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM IN AFRICA

Although the control of malaria epidemics has been a priority for the World Health Organization and other agencies for many years, surprisingly little is known about their public health burden. Here we evaluate the available evidence on the morbidity and mortality impacts of individual epidemics in...
