ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the situation of malaria epidemic and the course of prevention and control,and to summarize and promote the experience of malaria elimination. Methods The data of malaria prevention measures of different stages in Huzhou City from 1950 to 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Huzhou City went through three serious malaria epidemics during the past 60 years1954 to 1955,1962 to 1963 and early 1970. The highest incidence rate was 13 981. 76 / 1 00,000 in 1963. Since standard treatments(including anti - relapse treatment)were carried out and anti - mosquito facilities had improved,the average annual incidence rate in the 70 s declined gradually. From 1980 to 1989,Huzhou City set up 15 - 30 longitudinal monitoring stations which covered 70% villages and towns. In 1989,the City passed the fundamental evaluation of malaria eradication. The average annual incidence rate from 1990 to 2009 was 0. 37 / 1 000,000,and 48. 95% were imported cases. After 2010,Huzhou City had no local malaria case,and all cases reported were imported from 2010 to 2015. Conclusion A remarkable effects of the targeted control measures have been made at different stages in Huzhou City. In order to consolidate the achievements,we should strengthen the monitoring of floating population,timely and effective treatment of imported cases.
