Abstract

Objective: To review and investigate the malaria control history of Wuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from 1950 to 2015, so as to provide the evidence for future malaria control and surveillance.

Methods: The data of malaria control in Wuzhou City from 1950 to 2015 were collected and analyzed.

Results: In 1950 decade, the malaria incidence in Wuzhou City was 1 435.55/100 000, higher than the average level in Guangxi, and the mortality of malaria was 0.95/100 000. The malaria incidence of local residents was reduced to 3.61/100 000 in 1979 and no local malaria case was found since. The imported malaria cases were found in Wuzhou City since 1980, and were more than local cases since 1981. In recent five years, 87.50% (7/8) of imported malaria cases were from south-east Asia.

Conclusions: Wuzhou City has reached the national criterion of malaria elimination, but the imported malaria is the recent threat. The surveillance and control work of malaria should be strengthened.

[摘要] 目的 分析梧州市65年来疟疾防治历程, 为该市今后的疟疾监测和防治提供科学依据。 方法 收集整理 1950-2015年该市疟疾防治资料进行分析。 结果 该市1950年代疟疾发病率为1 435.55/10万, 高于广西平均水平, 疟 疾死亡率为0.95/10万。1979年当地居民疟疾发病率下降至3.61/10万, 1997年至今未再发现当地感染疟疾病人。1980 年该市出现流动人口输入性疟疾病人, 自1981年起输入性疟疾病人数超过当地居民疟疾病人数; 近5年87.50% (7/8) 的 输入性疟疾病例来自东南亚国家。 结论 广西壮族自治区梧州市已达到消除疟疾标准, 但仍受到输入性疟疾威胁, 需 继续加强监测和控制。.
