MALARIA. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL FEATURES IN PRIMORSKY TERRITORY

Abstract

Objective is to organize data on malaria incidence in the world and in Primorskiy Territory and on characteristics of epidemiological process within the program of malaria elimination and success of regional initiative on control of imported and territorial epidemiological blocks.
Methods: The study has been done on the basis of epidemiological research methods. We used data of the epidemiological survey, results of epidemiological examination of blocks using materials of epidemiological records, materials of WHO reports on a new plan to control malaria.
Results: Imported malaria cases among the population of Primorskiy Territory have been registered annually since 1997. 52 cases of malaria were registered in total from 1996 to 2016 including 20 cases of tropical malaria and 32 cases tertian malaria. The highest incidence rate was registered in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2002. Mosquitos Anopheles hyrconus have an epidemiological value in formation of endemic foci in Primorskiy territory the population of water bodies whose larvae in the meadow biotopes of Primorye is 27.3 %.
Conclusions: Effort to eliminate malaria in the world requires constant assessment of malaria potential of different regions of Primorskiy Territory, improvement of epidemiological control and efficiency in implementing preventive and anti-epidemic measures at a local level.
