Weston Roundtable Lecture Series

Results of a study of the agro-ecology of malaria in Ethiopia will emphasize the role of complex interactions of rural ecology and current attempts at eradication and/or control of malaria. The study includes results of laboratory work and field ecology, but also ecological and economic transformation of a malarial landscape as a whole. The lecture will emphasize the importance of an ecological, rather than a bio-medical approach to combating malaria's persistence in the tropical world.
