- Abstract
Field investigations were conducted in Kundoz Province, an Afghan high-risk area, to determine factors responsible for the rapid reemergence of malaria in that country, where 3 million cases were estimated to have occurred during 2002. Results indicate the presence of nonrice-field-dependent Plasmodium falciparum and rice-field-associated P. vivax malaria.
