This paper discusses malaria epidemiology and control in Brazil as well as the prospect of interrupting transmission in some areas of the country. The concepts of receptivity and vulnerability of an area to malaria transmission are analysed to predict where elimination might occur in a near future. Outside of the Amazon Region and in the oriental states of the Amazon, such as Tocantins, Maranhão and Mato Grosso, it is likely that malaria transmission can be eliminated with the development and sustained use of a good surveillance system.
本文讨论了巴西的疟疾流行病学和控制情况，以及在该国某些地区中断传播的前景。分析了一个地区对疟疾传播的易感性和脆弱性的概念，以预测在不久的将来可能在何处消除疟疾。在亚马逊地区以外，以及在亚马逊东部的托坎廷斯、马拉尼昂和马托格罗索等州，通过开发和持续使用良好的监测系统，很有可能消除疟疾传播。
