Admittedly, the world and the nature of forced migration have changed a great deal since the 1980s. The relevance of data accumulated during that time period can now be called into question. The roundtable and the Program on Forced Migration at the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University have commissioned a series of epidemiological reviews on priority public health problems for forced migrants that update the state of knowledge. "Malaria Control During Mass Population Movements and Natural Disasters" - the first in the series - provides a basic overview of the state of knowledge of epidemiology of malaria and public health interventions and practices for controlling the disease in situations involving forced migration and conflict.
