This Issue -*Malaria and Remote Sensing* and Some Other Good Things.


*MALARIA AND REMOTE SENSING --*In mid-July I had a request from a list 
member as follows/: "I am currently working for a malaria 
micro-stratification project. So, I am looking at possible use of 
remotely sensed data for the purpose. Could some direct me to the work 
that was done or ongoing in this area?"/ Here are some sites that may be 
of interest to others:
