The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health. 1992 Sep; 23 Suppl 4(): 23-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/31334The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health. 5 references.There are around half a million cases of malaria with 5-10,000 deaths per year in Cambodia. Incidence rates vary in different parts of the country. Malaria control is hampered by multiple drug resistance of Plasmodium falciparum, inaccessibility to the major vector, poor security in most malarious areas, and lack of resources. The control strategy emphasises improvement of clinical management and provision of prompt and accurate diagnosis in order to reduce morbidity and to prevent mortality. In addition health information and drug distribution systems are being improved. The use of pyrethroid-treated mosquito nets and health education are being promoted. Particular attention is given to returning refugees as they settle into the country.engAntimalarials --economicsCambodia --epidemiologyDrug CostsDrug ResistanceHealth EducationHumansIncidenceMalaria --diagnosisMosquito ControlPopulation SurveillanceRefugeesJournal Article
