Abstract

The terminology of malaria eradication has many familiar words with special meanings requiring definition; among these are malaria eradication, malaria case, attack phase, consolidation phase, maintenance phase, and surveillance. In malaria eradication malaria case is a person in whom, with or without symptoms, malaria parasite has been found by microscopic examination. The usually limited meaning of surveillance does not prepare one for broad definition as the discovery, investigation and elimination of continuing transmission, prevention and cure of infection, and final substantiation of claimed eradiction. This volume is a valuable supplement to A Textbook of Malaria Eradication by Emilio Pampana and Practical Malariology by P. F. Russell, et al. (2nd ed.), both from Oxford University Press, 1963.
