Summary:

Recent attempts to understand the increase in malaria incidence often acknowledge the importance of social, economic, and other contextual variables, but fail to explicitly incorporate them into models or consider how they evolve in relation to one another. By placing the challenge of global climate change in perspective with human aging, poverty, urbanization, and population movement, The Contextual Determinants of Malaria focuses attention on the public health needs most critical in both the immediate and longterm future.
