Abstract

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of malaria prevalence in Wenzhou City, so as to provide the evidence for improving the comprehensive control of malaria.

Methods: The epidemiological data of malaria cases in Wenzhou City in 2015 were collected and analyzed with the descriptive epidemiological methods.

Results: Totally 24 imported malaria cases were reported in Wenzhou City in 2015 with the incidence of 0.26 per 100 000 and no case was dead. Plasmodium vivax, P. falciparum, and P. ovale were identified in 1 (4.17%), 20 (83.33%), and 3 (12.50%) cases, respectively. The cases reported in Rui'an, Cangnan and Lucheng counties/districts accounted for 70.83% (17/24) of the total cases in Wenzhou City. The cases were mostly concentrated in male young adults and 23 cases (95.83%) were imported from Africa.

Conclusions: Malaria epidemic situation in Wenzhou City is relatively stable and no local malaria cases were reported in 2015. However, the control work of imported malaria should be strengthened.
