The book covers a wide range of topics including a brief historical outline of malaria epidemiology, detailed information on anti-malarial drugs, the strategies of chemoprophylaxis and stand-by emergency treatment, discussion of the Anopheles vector and measures against mosquito bites. The second half of the manual is a color atlas of known endemic countries showing risk areas and malaria-free zones.
