[Effect of malaria control in Shayang County from 1995 to 2014]
Objective:
To evaluate the effect of malaria control in Shayang County from 1995 to 2014, so as to provide the evidence for the strategy revision of the elimination of malaria prevention and control.
Methods:
The data of malaria surveillance were collected and analyzed in Shayang County from 1995 to 2014.
Results:
During the 20 years, 582 malaria patients (9 imported patients) were reported. The average annual incidence rate was 0.53/ten thousand. Through the comprehensive prevention and control measures, the incidence of malaria decreased from 2.30/ten thousand in 1997 to 0.02/ten thousand in 2010, and the decreasing rate was 99.13%. The proportion of malaria cases in the total infectious diseases cases also decreased from 21.23% in 1997 to 0.07% in 2010, and the decreasing rate was 99.67%. There were no local malaria patients from 2010 to 2014. However, the imported malaria patients were increased year by year during the recent years.
Conclusions:
This county has reached the national malaria control and elimination standards, and the malaria control work has been transferred from the control period to the elimination phase. We should implement the prevention and control measures and strictly control imported malaria, so as to consolidate the malaria control results.
