Malaria is a big public health problem in our country and a lot of other countries between the tropic of Cancer and tropic of Capricorn. There was an upsurge in the disease after initial control due to the development of resistance of mosquitoes to insecticides as well as of the Plasmodium to conventional drugs. With the introduction of better preventive strategies and newer antimalarials, there has been a decline in the morbidity as well as mortality from malaria. There is a dire need for concerted effort on the part of whole world to control the scrounge.
There is a great need for a consolidated book on falciparum malaria for everyone. Handbook on Falciparum Malaria bridges that gap. We hope that this will go a long way in helping everyone understand the disease better.
