Abstract:
Results of demographic survey determined regions, villages in Dak Lak from 2001 to 2003 showed that 24,445 illegal migrants settled down in 66 residential areas in 13 districts of the province. Illegal settlements of migrant villages often were in remote areas where the malaria transmission is high. Understanding of migrant population about malaria disease and control methods was still limited. Indicators of malaria became greater in the number in the early 8 months in 2003 than these in the same period in 2002, mainly in illegal migrant groups. Incidence of malaria in these groups were from 21.2% to 50.9%. 6 out of 9 deaths were illegal migrants
