Abstract:
Objective To understand the geographical features of malaria in Yunnan Province,so as to provide the refer?ence for malaria elimination. Methods The data of malaria in Yunnan Province from 2012 to 2015 were collected and ana?lyzed. Results Totally 2 586 malaria cases were reported in Yunnan Province from 2012 to 2015,in which 274(10.60%) were local cases and 2 311(89.37%)were abroad imported,and one(0.03%)was domestic imported. The imported malaria cases and local cases were analyzed according to the sources and locations respectively,and the arithmetic means of the num?bers of imported and local cases were 96.29 and 10.96 respectively,the standard deviations of the numbers of imported and local cases were 421.18 and 19.12 respectively,and the difference of the means was not significant(Z=-0.326,P>0.10). Both the imported and local malaria cases could be clustered into five sections by the number of 5. The Herfendal?Hirshman indexes of the imported and local malaria cases were 8 121 and 1 598 respectively. Conclusions There is no significant difference of the distribution between the imported and local malaria cases,and they should be attaching equal importance. The non?uniform de?gree of imported cases is higher than that of the local cases,while both of them could be divided into five major clusters in the prevention and control work.
