Abstract

The surveillance of malaria epidemic situation after malaria basically eliminated in Wujin District, Changzhou City showed that the incidence of malaria fluctuated between 0.001 per thousand and 0.015 per thousand from 1992 to 2009. The cases were dispersively distributed and most of them were input cases. The current emphasis of eliminating malaria should be the control of input cases, anti-malaria management of floating population, the training for clinical doctors and microscopists, and mass health education.
