Really enjoyed this, both the introductory section on leishmaniasis and the main section on malaria. It's a bit out of date at this point, but still a great read for anyone who enjoys the processes and personalities involved in infectious disease research ( )

I LOVE BOOKS LIKE THIS.
A look into what /actually/ happened when scientists went abroad to study Malaria, how Malaria works, and how it is a crisis still happening, silently to Americans/1st world countries. Malaria has no cure.

Such an interesting look at it, and a definite MUST READ. ( )
