Navy Medical Department Pocket Guide to Malvaria Prevention and Control (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781508456346)

The threat to health and readiness of sailors and Marines posed by malaria stimulated the creation of the Malaria "Blue Book" in 1984. Prevention and treatment of malaria is more complex due to the emergence of drug resistance, pesticide resistant mosquito vectors, and large populations of infected people in many areas of the world. The World Health Organization estimates that two billion people are at risk for malaria infection. Each year, malaria causes more than 300 million clinical cases and over two million deaths.
