To assess the malaria reintroduction risk in Morocco, we analyzed the malariogenic potential of a rice cultivation area in the north of the country. Our results showed that the receptivity of this area is very high during all the period of the rice cultivation, from May to October, the vectorial capacity of An. labranchiae, malaria vector in Morocco, is considerably high during the summer which corresponds to the rice cultivation period. The risk of autochthonous malaria resumption is important because of the possible presence of gametocytes carriers in the last malaria focus which is bordering the study area. The risk of a tropical malaria introduction is unimportant seen the low vulnerability of the area and the uncertain competence of its vectors considered. However, this risk must be considered with a more attention.
为评估摩洛哥疟疾重新引入的风险,我们分析了该国北部一个水稻种植区的致疟潜力。我们的结果表明,在5月至10月水稻种植的整个期间,该地区的易感性非常高,摩洛哥的疟疾传播媒介——地中海按蚊的传播能力在与水稻种植期相对应的夏季相当高。由于在与研究区域接壤的最后一个疟疾疫源地可能存在配子体携带者,本地疟疾复发的风险很大。鉴于该地区的低脆弱性以及所考虑的其媒介的不确定传播能力,热带疟疾传入的风险不大。然而,必须更加关注这一风险。
