Oberon,
I would also like to provide information linking the increase of malaria in cambodia in 1996-1997 to deforestation.
"King Sihanouk said there had been a marked increase in deforestation this year[1995]"
Cambodia Wood Exports and Deforestation
That same source also mentions a severe flood which took place towards the end of 1995 which was also attributed to deforestation. A severe flood would also leave behind an increase in breeding grounds for mosquitos which would increase malaria in 1996. So deforestation again seems to be a major cause of the increase in malaria in cambodia in 1996.
