本文应用了一个简单的流行模式,推算肯尼亚某地婴儿的疟疾接触率和患病率。鉴于推算的与真正的疾病曲线颇为相同,因此,该模式可作为预防工作中的参考。作者自1972年9月～1973年8月,检查了约650名婴儿的疟疾感染率(检查血片中疟原虫,每3月采血一次),并对45名新生儿进行了随访观察(每月采血一次,检查疟原虫,直至被感染时为止)。此外,作者还用诱蚊房和茅舍捕捉蚊子,并作了雌性按蚊的计数和鉴定,并解剖其有无孢子体。
This article applies a simple epidemiological model to estimate infant malaria exposure and prevalence in some parts of Kenya. Since the projected and actual disease curves are quite similar, this model can serve as a reference for prevention efforts. From September 1972 to August 1973, the authors examined the malaria infection rates of approximately 650 infants (blood film malaria test, blood sampling every 3 months) and 45 newborns were followed up (monthly Blood sampling once, check the parasite until it is infected). In addition, the authors captured mosquitoes with mosquito breeders’ houses and cottages, counted and identified female Anopheles mosquitoes, and dissected their presence or absence of sporophytes.
