[Epidemiological analysis of malaria prevalence in Jiangsu Province in 2017].

Objective: To understand the malaria epidemic situation and characteristics in Jiangsu Province in 2017, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the targeted strategy of malaria elimination.

Methods: The data of malaria cases in Jiangsu Province in 2016 were collected from China's Routine Diseases Surveillance Information System (CRDSIS).

Results: Totally, 239 imported malaria cases were reported in Jiangsu Province in 2017, and the cases decreased by 22.

[Results analysis of Jiangsu Provincial Malaria Diagnostic Reference Laboratory in 2017].

Objective: To analyze the results of samples testing of Jiangsu Provincial Malaria Diagnostic Reference Laboratory in 2017, so as to provide the evidence for improving the malaria diagnostic performance in this province.

Methods: The samples of reported malaria cases in Jiangsu were collected by the provincial reference laboratory (PRL) in 2017. The microscopy and nucleic acid test were performed to confirm the infection of species of each case, while antigen tests (rapid diagnostic test, RDT) were performed as well.

[Construction and application of malaria biobank].

Objective: To establish a systemized malaria biobank with well-rounded epidemiologic data and a computer-aid management system, thus to provide qualified sources for malaria elimination and human malaria research.

Methods: The malaria biobank was based on the platform of Jiangsu Institute of Parasitic Diseases. The blood smear samples, dried blood samples, whole blood samples and parasite strains isolated from patients (from both local and imported cases) were collected since 2011 according to a standardized operational procedure.

[Analysis of blood smear examination results of fever patients in Jiangsu Province from 2010 to 2016].

Objective: To analyze the working conditions and evaluate the effectiveness of blood smear examinations in fever patients after the start of national malaria elimination program (NMEP), and explore the suitable strategy for malaria diagnosis and surveillance in NMEP, so as to provide the evidence for the development and adaptation of malaria elimination strategies and measures in Jiangsu Province.

Methods: The data of malaria epidemic situation reported by network, fever patients' blood test tables, and epidemiological surveys of malaria cases were collected and statistically analyzed by SPSS 16.0 in Jiangsu Province from 2010 to 2016.

[Quality analysis of malaria microscopic examinations in Jiangsu Province from 2011 to 2017].

Objective: To understand the quality of production of blood slides and laboratory personnel's ability to microscopically examine at Jiangsu Province clinic inspection stations at all levels, so as to provide the evidence for the construction of malaria diagnostic laboratories and the evaluation of malaria elimination effect.

Methods: After the reexamination of the negative blood slides of the examination stations of the malaria center in each county (district), the negative blood slides of the outpatient inspection station in the district and all the positive blood slides of the direct report of the network from 2011 to 2017, the staining and cleanliness of the blood smears, microscopic examination results and the coincidence rate of positive blood species were comprehensively analyzed.

Results: A total of 19 109 checked blood samples were examined.

[Progress of malaria elimination of Jiangsu Province, China].

There were vivax malaria, falciparum malaria, and malariae malaria epidemic in Jiangsu Province, and vivax malaria was the dominant disease. and were malaria-transmitted vectors. Since the founding of People's Republic of China, there have been two major malaria outbreaks in Jiangsu Province, when the highest annual malaria incidence reached up to 24.

[Epidemiological analysis of malaria prevalence in Jiangsu Province in 2016].

Objective: To understand the malaria epidemic situation and characteristics in Jiangsu Province in 2016, so as to provide the evidence for formulating and adjusting the strategy and measures for malaria elimination.

Methods: The data of malaria cases in Jiangsu Province in 2016 were collected from China's Routine Diseases Surveillance Information System (CRD-SIS) and analyzed statistically.

Results: Totally, 308 malaria cases were reported in Jiangsu Province in 2016, and the cases decreased by 23.

[Diagnostic knowledge and skills of parasitic diseases based on competition of professional personnel in Jiangsu Province, China].

To understand the integrated ability of parasitic disease prevention and control of professional personnel of Jiangsu Province through the contest. Totally 56 players from the whole province were selected, and all the players participated in the contest. The theory knowledge and skill scores were collected and the statistical analyses were conducted.

[Epidemiological analysis of malaria prevalence in Jiangsu Province in 2015].

To understand the malaria epidemic situation and characteristics in Jiangsu Province in 2015, so as to provide the evidence for malaria elimination. The data of malaria cases in Jiangsu Province in 2015 were collected from China's routine diseases surveillance information system. Totally 405 imported cases were reported in Jiangsu Province in 2015, and the cases increased by 14.

[Impact of different temperatures on development of Anopheles anthropoghagus in Jiangsu Province].

Objective: To observe the development and breeding of Anopheles anthropophagus in Jiangsu Province under different temperatures, so as to provide theoretical evidence for malaria epidemiology research and vector control.

Methods: Anopheles anthropophagus was maintained under different temperatures of 16, 19, 22, 25, 28 and 31 degrees C in cultivator, and the development of egg stage, larva, pupal stage and reproductive and vegetative cycle were observed. Then the time of entire developmental cycle of Anopheles anthropophagus at different temperatures was calculated.
