The author describes the results obtained in recent malaria surveys in West New Guinea, where what is essentially holoendemic malaria prevails. However, the spleen-rate in adults differs markedly from what is regarded as normal under holoendemic conditions according to the definition put forward at the Malaria Conference in Equatorial Africa in 1950. The author therefore concludes that that definition is not properly applicable to New Guinea.
作者描述了在西新几内亚近期疟疾调查中所获得的结果,该地普遍存在基本上属于高度地方性流行的疟疾。然而,根据1950年在赤道非洲疟疾会议上提出的定义,成年人的脾肿率与在高度地方性流行条件下被视为正常的情况有显著差异。因此,作者得出结论,该定义不适用于新几内亚。
