RFI: Malaria Maps for South-East Asia (2)
-----------------------------------------
I don't know of any such detailed maps, but that is an excel-
lent idea. It should be doable with the right map program. I'll
look around. There is quite a bit of information out there, and
a visual presentation of it (with some explanation, of course)
might be easier to understand. For instance, during the last
discussion on malaria in Cambodia, "malaria in Siem Reap" be-
came quite confusing -- until it became clear to all that Siem
Reap was both a city and a province. There is no risk in the
area of the province of Siem Reap where Siem Reap (the city) is
located, but there *is* risk in other areas. Again, a simply
map would have made this clearer.
