Abstract
Malaria is thought to have emerged as a virulent disease at the same time as the
early practice of agriculture — about 7,000 years ago. Today, a project supported
by the International Development Research Centre is taking a new look at the
links between agriculture and malaria. The goal is to reduce the incidence of the
disease.
