ABSTRACT
A cross-sectional survey of the malaria prevalence among mobile Cambodians in Aranyaprathet, at the Thai-Cambodia border, was conducted in November 2000. A total of 666 asymptomatic, mobile Cambodians who worked as traders and laborers were studied. The overall prevalence rate was 2.4%, with 93.75% of the infections being due to Plasmodium vivax and 6.25% due to Plasmodium falciparum. Almost all cases had low level of parasitemia (1+) and no sexual stages were found. Factors associated with malaria infection included being male, being in the 10-59 year age group, having a lower level of education and frequent trans-border crossing. Both groups of migrant workers (traders and laborers) had an equal chance of infection.
