Excerpt
INTRODUCTION At its third session held in Geneva in August 1949, the Expert Committee on Malaria of the World Health Organization expressed the opinion that the methods used in the conduct of epidemiological malaria inquiries needed standardization, and recommended the appointment of a drafting committee to study the question. It was thought that the object desired could best be achieved by a revision of the Report on terminology in malarialg* * published in 1940 by the Malaria Commission of the League of Nations, and now out of print.
