Talk:Malaria

I suggest using the Amazon link temporarily until a nice list of further reading is developed. [User:Fredbauder]

I don't think we should endorse Amazon. Why not give a link to the Library of Congress catalog, Subject Malaria? AxelBoldt 18:10 Oct 8, 2002 (UTC)

From the article: "Malaria (Italian bad air; formerly called ague in English) is a tropical disease which causes about half a billion infections and 2 million deaths annually"

sounds to me like Malaria infects half a billiton persons per year which can't be true. -- mkrohn 10:02 25 May 2003 (UTC)

I can't see why not. There are easily enough pepple in areas where malaria is endemic, like India and Africa.- I'll try to check jimfbleak 13:54 25 May 2003 (UTC)

see www.idrc.ca/books/reports/1996/01-07e which confirms size of problem.
