Malaria-associated rubber plantations in Thailand
Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2013 Rubber forestry is intentionally used as a land management strategy. The propagation of rubber plantations in tropic and subtropic regions appears to influence the economical, sociological and ecological aspects of sustainable development as well as human well-being and health.
