To estimate the burden of malarial disease, and evaluate the likely effects of control
strategies, requires reliable predictions of malaria transmission intensity. It has long been …

The relationship of the incidence of Plasmodium falciparum infection to entomologic
inoculation rates (EIRs) was studied in 163 children less than one year of age in a …

The relationship between exposure to Plasmodium falciparum malaria and parasite density
and prevalence was studied in six communities along an altitude transect. Prevalence of …

The recent spread of malaria in the Usambara Mountains in Tanzania has been blamed on
climatic changes experienced during the 20 th century. Here we suggest that recent …

When are populations of infectious agents likely to evolve into distinct strains? Are they likely
to differ in their virulence? Will genetically distinct strains or clones remain stable long …

The effect of human behavior on malaria infection was investigated in a holoendemic area in
the Solomon Islands, using a newly developed mathematical model based on the results of …

The pivotal role of mosquitoes in malaria epidemiology means that in practice, control efforts
against the disease must include sustainable control of the vectors. This has fostered many …

Organisms engaged in parasitic and pathogenic interactions with their hosts represent
fundamentally important components of ecosystems. After decades of study, an appreciation …

Estimates of force of malaria infection were compared with corresponding inoculation rates
for infants in a highly endemic area of Tanzania. It was found that the proportion of bites …

抄録 The models of malaria transmission have been developed for a century. Based on the
Ross-Macdonald model that treats patient increase rate and infectious mosquito increase …
