[Malaria focus investigation and disposal in Tengchong City between 2015 and 2016].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results of malaria focus investigation and disposal in Tengchong City, Yunnan Province between 2015 and 2016, so as to provide evidences for interrupting potential malaria transmission. METHODS: The malaria foci were investigated and disposed according to the malaria cases reported from "China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention" in Tengchong City between 2015 and 2016. The mosquitoes were captured by mosquito-lured lamp overnight to investigate the malaria vector in local. The peripheral blood samples were collected from the local residents with a febrile history in the foci within two weeks and the accompanists of the cases, and then the rapid malaria diagnosis tests were used to screen the malaria carriers. RESULTS: Totally 145 imported malaria cases were reported in Tengchong City between 2015 and 2016, and the focus investigation and disposal rate within 7 d was 100% (145/145). A total of 16 186 mosquitoes of 12 species of Anopheles were captured, among which An. sinensis was the predominant, accounting for 64.31% (10 410/16 186), followed by An. kunmingensis and An. minimus, with the constituent ratios of 14.15% (2 291/16 186) and 11.66% (1 887/16 186), respectively. One person (1.96%, 1/51) in the 51 accompanists of the cases was positive in the malaria rapid diagnosis test. CONCLUSIONS: The malaria transmission vectors such as An. sinensis, An. kunmingensis, An. minimus etc. are still distributed in Tengchong City, and An. sinensis is the predominant species. Therefore, the relevant authorities should continue to strengthen the focus investigation and disposal to interrupt the potential introduced malaria transmission by imported cases in the future.

[Malaria epidemiological analysis in Tengchong City from 2010 to 2015].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the malaria epidemiological characteristics in Tengchong City from 2010 to 2015, so as to provide the evidence for adjusting and formulating measures in the elimination stage. METHODS: The malaria data were collected and analyzed by using Microsoft Excel 2010 in Tengchong City from 2010 to 2015. RESULTS: There were 1 408 malaria cases reported in Tengchong City from 2010 to 2015, including 1 091 cases of Plasmodium vivax infection, 256 cases of P. falciparum infection, 5 cases of P. malariae infection, 1 case of Plasmodium ovale infection, 1 case of mixed infections, and 54 unclassified cases. Totally 1 390 imported cases were recorded and 98.06% of them (1 363/1 390) were imported from Myanmar. Most of the patients (n = 908) were aged from 21 to 40 years, and the male to female ratio was 11.03∶1. The highest-risk populations were farmers and migrant workers. The most cases were observed in April and June, and at that time, most of the floating workers returned. CONCLUSIONS: Imported malaria is severe in Tengchong City, and there is a great challenge to malaria elimination.
