A realistic appraisal of the global malaria problem

Congratulations are due to this large group of authors for breathing realism into the important task of fighting malaria. It is very refreshing to hear from people with their feet on the ground. With this kind of intelligent viewpoint, we can make real progress in this important endeavor.

I have tried to express some of the same sentiments in my recent monograph on "A realistic strategy for fighting malaria in Africa." Let us hope that the folks at WHO and various global foundations will hear us.
