Abstract
The authors report the results of a survey of malaria prevalence carried out from October to December 1998 in 24 villages located upstream of the Garafiri dam, in the Kindia area. The parametre used for the assessment of prevalence was the Plasmodium index. The gametocyte and spleen indexes were also recorded. The prevalence observed (34,7%) confirms the presence in this area of stable malaria mostly transmitted by Anopheles gambiae in tropical Africa. This prevalence rate is compatible with the epidemiological data of the Ministry of Health.Entities:
