The Grand Magal is a religious pilgrimage that takes place in Senegal. An estimated 4-5 million individuals yearly gather in the holy city of Touba. Pilgrims comes from the whole Senegal and surrounding countries and from countries outside of Africa where Mouride Senegalese emigrated. It is the largest Mass Gathering (MG) event of the Mouride community and the largest Muslim religious MG in West Africa. The context of the Grand Magal MG is unique given its location in a tropical developing country and its international component which may favour the globalization of local endemic diseases and warrants investment in modern methods for public health surveillance and planning of the event.
大玛加尔节是塞内加尔的一次宗教朝圣活动。每年，估计有 400 万至 500 万人聚集在圣城图巴。朝圣者来自塞内加尔各地和周边国家，以及塞内加尔侨民所在的非洲以外国家。这是莫雷尔社区最大的群众集会（MG）活动，也是西非最大的穆斯林宗教 MG 活动。鉴于大玛加尔节的地点位于热带发展中国家，以及其国际组成部分，可能有利于地方流行疾病的全球化，因此需要投资于现代公共卫生监测方法和活动规划。
