Refugee health in the tropics. Malaria control in Afghan refugee camps: novel solutions
Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg.
2001 Mar-Apr.
Abstract
Malaria is one of the major communicable diseases to occur in refugee camps. Prevention of mortality by establishing good case management is always the priority. Various types of personal protection or vector control measures may be applied depending on local transmission conditions and stage of the emergency. The range of interventions applied in Afghan refugee camps, the factors influencing choice and the relevance to emergencies in other parts of the world are described.
