- Summary:
- The Encyclopaedia of Malaria is the most comprehensive reference work devoted to one of humanity’s oldest and most persistent diseases. It captures the historical sweep of malaria’s impact while presenting the rapid and significant advances that continue to shape the field, from the sequencing of the Plasmodium falciparum and Anopheles gambiae genomes to the latest developments in diagnostics, treatment, and control. Structured as authoritative essays written by leading experts with direct field and laboratory experience, this work distils the complexity of malaria research into a concise, accessible, and up-to-date resource. It covers the biology of parasite and vector, the clinical and epidemiological dimensions of disease, control efforts, and the evolving challenges of drug and insecticide resistance. Appealing to a broad audience—from malaria researchers, clinicians and biomedical scientists to teachers, students, and public health professionals—this encyclopaedia is both a repository of knowledge and a guide to future discovery.
