| [epidemiology and control of malaria in suriname]. | malaria is endemic in the interior of suriname, which is inhabited by descendants of black slaves and amerindian tribes. analysis of epidemiological data for the period 1965-1985 reveals that within that area malaria is endemic only in the territory of the djuka indians in the upper marowijne region. the endemicity may be due in part to the presence of a relatively large and stable population of the local vector, anopheles darlingi, and also to the djukas' frequent travels within their own terri ... | 1991 | 1838686 |
| relations between anopheles darlingi breeding habitats, rainfall, river level and malaria transmission rates in the rain forest of suriname. | irregular peaks of p.falciparum malaria incidence were monitored in suriname during 1982-86. an attempt is made to correlate these fluctuations of malaria rates with rainfall and river level in relation to the periodic availability of breeding habitats for the malaria vector anopheles darlingi root. densities of adult female an.darlingi were recorded in the upper-marowijne region of suriname, in a focus of malaria along the marowijne river. peaks in biting densities correlated well with periods ... | 1992 | 1600221 |
| epidemiology and control of malaria in suriname. | malaria is endemic in the interior of suriname. however, epidemiologic data indicate that as of 1985 the only permanent malaria focus was located in an area along the upper marowijne river. the existence of this focal area can be accounted for partly by relatively high and stable numbers of the local malaria vector, anopheles darlingi, in the region and also by frequent travels of local inhabitants within the upper marowijne region. government workers from this area appear to have played a signi ... | 1991 | 1790439 |
