| water resource development and prevention of malaria. | the construction of dams across the mouths of major tidal rivers in the development of the kranji reservoir, western catchments scheme and the sungei seletar reservoir in singapore created suitable environmental conditions for the propagation of anopheline brackish-water breeders. the employment of foreign contract workers from malarious areas for the projects further increased the potential risk of malaria transmission. however, constant vigilance and environmental management aimed at the perma ... | 1987 | 3328558 |
| social and economic aspects of malaria in singapore. | singapore is both receptive and vulnerable to the introduction of malaria because of its location in a malarious zone. the social and economic factors that determined the incidence of malaria included rapid urban and industrial developments which created suitable environmental conditions for the breeding of anopheles vectors, influx of foreign workers from the endemic countries and increased travel to the malarious areas. the public health significance of the interactions of these factors was ex ... | 1986 | 3563601 |

| local transmission of plasmodium vivax malaria in singapore. | a localised outbreak involving 19 cases and two carriers of vivax malaria was reported at dairy farm from may to june 1996. epidemiological investigations showed that the outbreak was caused by the introduction of two foreign workers with imported relapsing vivax malaria into this malaria-receptive area. transmission of infection occurred amongst 17 other foreign workers residing in the locality and two local residents staying at a condominium nearby. the outbreak was rapidly brought under contr ... | 1997 | 9494662 |
| malaria. epidemiological surveillance, 1992-1996. | the mean annual incidence of malaria in singapore increased from 208 cases in 1982-86 to 277 cases in 1987-1991 and 306 cases in 1992-96. 92.0% of the 1532 cases reported during 1992-96 were imported, with the distribution of cases by parasitic species as follows: plasmodium vivax, 80.9%; p. falciparum, 16.9%; p. malariae, 0.1%; and both p. vivax and p. falciparum, 2.1%. 5 deaths were reported due to malaria. the mean annual age-specific morbidity rate was highest among people aged 25-34 year ... | 1998 | 9584659 |
| epidemiological characteristics of imported and locally-acquired malaria in singapore. | the objective of the study was to determine the trend of malaria, the epidemiological characteristics, the frequency of local transmission and the preventive and control measures taken. | 2009 | 19890574 |
| elimination of malaria risk through integrated combination strategies in a tropical military training island. | on the military training facility of tekong island, singapore, a comprehensive vector-borne disease control program was started in end-2006 to reduce mosquito populations and negate the need for anti-malaria chemoprophylaxis. the program was based on 1) preventing importation of malaria through screening of visitors, 2) preventing human-to-mosquito transmission through early case detection and mosquito control, 3) preventing mosquito-to-human transmission through personal protection, and 4) cont ... | 2010 | 20519595 |
