Pre-eradication era• Magnitude of malaria was determined on the basis of diagnosed cases.

• The classical malariometric measures are:

1. Spleen rate2. Average enlarged spleen3. Parasite rate

Page 5: Measurement of malaria

Spleen rate

• % of children between 2 and 10 years of age showing enlargement of spleen.

Average enlarged spleen:• This is a further refinement of spleen rate denoting the avg size of the enlarged spleen .

• It is a useful malariometric index.

Page 6: Measurement of malaria

Parasite rate• % of children b/w the ages 2 and 10 yrs showing malaria parasite in their blood film.

Eradication era•The microscopic diagnosis of malaria cases became the main method of diagnosis.

• The parameters used for the measurement of malaria were mostly parasitological in nature .

Page 8: Measurement of malaria

•The following parameters are employed:a) annual parasite incidenceb) annual blood examination ratec) annual falciparum incidenced) slide positivity ratee) slide falciparum rate

• Annual parasite incidence.[API] API =confirmed cases during 1 year x 1000 population under surveillance • Annual blood examination rate [ABER] ABER= nos of slides examined x100 population

• annual falciparum incidence since the emergence of P. falciparum problem in India data are collected separately for total malaria cases and P. falciparum cases.

• slide positivity rate % of slides found positive for malarial parasite irrespective of the type of species.

• Slide falciparum rate % of slides positive for P. falciparum parasite.

Vector Indices• A malaria survey is not complete unless it includes investigations relating to the insect vector.

• Some of the imp vector indices are:1. human blood index2. sporozoite rate3. mosquito density4. man biting rate5. inoculation rate
