Abstract
During the past few years, there has been a historic series of declarations
of renewed commitment to malaria control in Africa. Whether the burden of
malaria is increasing in Africa is a moot point. This article attempts to r
e-construct the evidence for the trends in childhood mortality as a result
of Plasmodium falciparum infection over the last century in Africa.
