Abstract
[Extract] Malaria is one of the most serious of the tropical diseases with more than 500 million cases and 1 million deaths annually. About 40% of the world's population, mainly in some of the poorest countries, are at risk of malaria, and it is a problem for tourists, military personnel, expatriate workers, and those visiting friends and family, traveling to countries where the disease in endemic. For the many who must regularly deal with parasitic diseases, then, an atlas is an invaluable aid, particularly an atlas dedicated to human malaria.
