[Comparative study of the malaria indices in Nanga-Eboko, Yaounde and Edea (Cameroon)]. / Etude comparée des indices paludométriques à Nanga-Eboko, Yaoundé et Edéa (Cameroun).

ABSTRACT

The authors report the results of sample surveys carried out in september 1986 in Yaounde and Nanga-Eboko and in january 1987 in Edea (Cameroon) to evaluate the main malarial indexes among 0-15 years old children. These investigations suggest that malaria is hypoendemic in Yaounde and mesoendemic in Nanga-Eboko during the rainy months. In Edea malaria is hyperendemic.
