Malaria Ecology and Control in Myanmar's Kachin Region

This study was conducted in KR2 along the China-Myanmar border in a hilly and forested area with a tropical rainforest climate (Fig. 1). The total population is about 60,000 and most of them are Kachin Ethnic Minority (known as Jinghpaw in China). In KR2, hot weather, pluviosity, and a dense forest facilitate the breeding and development of anopheline mosquitoes. Malaria vectors are complex, and the primary vectors are Anopheles dirus and Anopheles minimus. Malaria transmission occurs the whole year, but the peak occurs during the rainy season from May to November each year. During that time, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium ovale are all prevalent [8 ]. In the region, malaria control programmes are generally provided by international non-governmental organizations (INGOs).Fig. 1

control variables

The study was conducted in a specific location, KR2, along the China-Myanmar border in a hilly and forested area with a tropical rainforest climate.
The total population in the study area is about 60,000, and most of them are Kachin Ethnic Minority.
The environmental conditions in KR2, such as hot weather, pluviosity, and a dense forest, facilitate the breeding and development of anopheline mosquitoes, which are the primary malaria vectors in the region.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
