在不同的情况下，人类疟疾死亡率差别很大。热带非洲许多地区疟疾传播情况严重，南亚地区目前疟疾接种率低得多，两个大陆偶尔发生疟疾流行病，这些都是与疟疾有关的死亡率形成鲜明对比的模式。在这里，Harsha Alles，Kamini Mendis和Richard Carter研究了不同情况下与疟疾相关的死亡率，并讨论了这些情况下疟疾管理的影响。他们强调，在几乎所有疟疾传播情况下，快速病例治疗具有拯救生命的力量。
Malaria mortality in human populations varies greatly under different circumstances. The intense malaria transmission conditions found in many parts of tropical Africa, the much lower malaria inoculation rates currently sustained in areas of southern Asia, and the epidemic outbreaks of malaria occasionally seen on both continents, present highly contrasting patterns of malaria-related mortality. Here Harsha Alles, Kamini Mendis and Richard Carter examine malaria-related mortality under different circumstance and discus implications for the management of malaria in these settings. They emphasize the power of rapid case treatment to save lives at risk under virtually all circumstances of malaria transmission.
