Extract

Eight papers were presented on topics ranging from the dissemination of drug resistance in Africa; the application of new antimalarial compounds; the basic biology of the malarial parasite; and methods for in vitro culture and its analysis, to the interaction of the malarial parasite with the infected host with particular reference to host genetic factors responsible for parasite survival.
