Abstract:
In the study from 2002 to 2003, all participants were Raklay ethnic volunteers for mosquito collection for 5-8 years. Malaria parasitaemia was found in 40% of participants who had been beaten by sporozoites-infective An.dirus. The chance of infection depended on immune level, participant’s constitution, quantity and age of sporozoites… Monthly prophylaxis therapy with single dose of mefloquine reduced a possibility of malaria infection for forest sleeping people
