Weeb, J.L.
Humanity's burden:a global history of malaria - New York Cambridge University Press 2009 - xii, 236p.
Humanity's burden provides a conceptual overview of the history of malaria. Describes the web of influences that determine disease success, including climate (temperature, moisture), environment (land cleared or forested, standing versus moving water, characteristics of human structures), innate human characteristics such as genetic immunities, demography and population movement, and ably projects this complexity across the globe and across time.
