Refl: Pada zaman penjajahan Belanda setiap orang dari luar (dataran rendah) yang mau memasuki dataran tinggi harus mmempunyai surat keterangan bebas malaria dari dokter. Mungkin zaman disebut merdeka, penyakit pun dimerdekakan agar orang Papua cepat habis.
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/06/09/malaria-outbreak-kills-40-papua-highland-report.html Malaria outbreak kills 40 in Papua highland: Report Nethy Darma Somba, The Jakarta Post, Jayapura, Papua | Wed, 06/09/2010 4:28 PM | Archipelago Papua health agency has sent a four-strong team to Intan Jaya regency to verify reports of malaria outbreak which is said to have killed 40 people in the highland region over the last three months. Team member Paminto Widodo of the Papua Health Crisis Center said Wednesday the medical workers would focus their mission on Degesiga and Bamba villages, where the disease reportedly affected the most. "We will examine whether the people died of malaria or other diseases. Malaria usually does not spread in regions located at a high altitude with a cool temperature," Paminto said, adding that the team would check if the people who were killed by the disease had never left the regency. The regional health agency has conducted fogging to prevent the disease from spreading across the regency. Papua legislative council member Julius Miagoni, who reported the outbreak to the health authorities, said the fatalities resulting from malaria were first detected in April. ++++
