The paper attempts to present the current malaria situation in the Philippines which includes its distribution, morbidity and mortality rates, parasitology, the appearance of drug-resistant parasites, and entomological aspects. Under the current malaria control program, the objective is to reduce the incidence of malaria to one per one thousand population by year 2000 and to prevent its reintroduction to malaria-freed areas. Following the tactical variants of malaria control advocated by WHO, the program successfully reduced the incidence from 14.5/1,000 population in 1987 to 7.3/1,000 in 1990 but leveled off in 1991. Malaria is still among the 10 leading causes of morbidity. Problems encountered and research priorities are included in the report.
本文试图介绍菲律宾当前的疟疾状况，包括其分布、发病率和死亡率、寄生虫学、耐药寄生虫的出现以及昆虫学方面。在当前的疟疾控制项目下，目标是到2000年将疟疾发病率降低到每千人口1例，并防止其重新传入已无疟疾的地区。按照世界卫生组织倡导的疟疾控制策略，该项目成功地将发病率从1987年的每千人口14.5例降至1990年的7.3例，但在1991年趋于平稳。疟疾仍然是发病率最高的10种疾病之一。报告中包括了遇到的问题和研究重点。
