Extract

There exists already a considerable literature about a mathematical approach to the description and control of malaria (see Ross (1911); Martini (1921); Lotka (1923); Moshkovskii (1950); Macdonald (1957), (1968)). This note gives an outline of the main assumptions of a simulation model which has been developed in close co-operation with epidemiologists, entomologists and immunologists in connection with a field project in Northern Nigeria where the necessary data for testing the model are being collected.
