Abstract

To understand the malaria epidemic situation and prevention and control measures in Baoshan City of Yunnan Province in 2023, the malaria epidemic data was collected from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and the completion status of various task indicators for preventing the import and re-transmission of malaria was collected from related reports. The database was established by Microsoft Excel 2021 software, and SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis. In 2023, 55 malaria cases were reported in Baoshan City, all of which were imported from abroad. Among them, 51 cases were vivax malaria, 2 cases were falciparum malaria, 1 case was malariae malariae and 1 case was ovale malaria. Regional distribution in Tengchong City accounted for 41 cases (74.6%). The sex distribution was mainly male 91.9% (50/55), and female 9.1% (5/55). In the age distribution, the youngest was 10 years old, and the oldest was 67 years old. The number of cases in the 30-34-years-old group was the largest, with 11 cases, accounting for 20.0%. The occupation distribution was mainly farmers, with 35 cases (63.6%). In addition to no cases in February, all cases were reported in other months, and the peak month was June, with 14 cases (25.5%). The main source of infection was Myanmar, where 51 cases (92.7%) were imported. Throughout the year, blood tests of fever patients were carried out for 16 271 cases, with 42 active case investigations conducting in key villages, 21 vector investigations conducting, 56 sites with case identified investigating and prevention measures performing, 98 times of supervision conducting, 10 times of skill training conducting, and 611 personnel training. The imported case number of malaria in 2023 in Baoshan City is significantly higher than that in 2022 (5 cases). it is necessary to strengthen the control capacity at all levels, improve the monitoring sensitivity, earnestly implement the “1-3-7” approach, and continue to consolidate the results of malaria elimination.
