Malaria has become a major public health problem in Mauritania since the 1990s, with an average of 181,000 cases per year and 2,233,066 persons at risk during 1995-2012. This paper provides the first publicly available overview of malaria incidence and distribution in Mauritania. Information on the burden and malaria species distribution is critical for guiding national efforts in malaria control. As the incidence of malaria changes over time, regular updates of epidemiological data are necessary.
自20世纪90年代以来，疟疾已成为毛里塔尼亚的一个主要公共卫生问题，1995年至2012年期间平均每年有18.1万例病例，2233066人面临感染风险。本文首次公开概述了毛里塔尼亚的疟疾发病率和分布情况。有关疟疾负担和疟原虫种类分布的信息对于指导国家疟疾控制工作至关重要。由于疟疾发病率随时间变化，定期更新流行病学数据是必要的。
