Persistent malaria transmission in Kundam block, district Jabalpur (M.P.)
Abstract:
Malaria survey was undertaken in 7 villages of Kundam PHC from August 1987 to July 1988. Epidemiological findings revealed high spleen (20-70), child parasite (40-85) and infant parasite rates (20-75) in the area. P. falciparum was the predominant species and unchecked malaria transmission continued almost throughout the year. The study of monthwise distribution of positive cases and the period during which intensive intervention measures were undertaken revealed that despite an extra round of HCH and intensive chemotherapeutic measures, there was no marked decrease in the prevalence of malaria.
