The distribution of carriers of hematozoa in the pre-school and school age group in Gabon has been established with the help of systematic enquiry. The plasmodial indexes vary between 11 and 32% in the savanna zones of the south-east, they rise to 64.9% in the forest regions of the north of the country, and in the urban zones (Libreville, Franceville, Lambarene) 6 to 18% of the school children are gametocyte carriers. In Libreville, amongst the febrile children seen in pediatric consultation, the prevalence reached 30%. Boys and girls are equally affected. The most important prevalence is observed in the group of children from 5 to 10 years of age. P. falciparum is found in 96.4% of the cases, P. malariae in 5.3% and P. ovale in 2.4%. The study of the parasitic load revealed that 56% of the positive subjects had less than 10,000 asexual forms/mm3, 44% more than 10,000 hematozoa/mm3. These results are similar to those of the neighbouring countries of equatorial Africa.
在加蓬，通过系统调查确定了学前和学龄儿童中血寄生虫携带者的分布情况。在东南部的稀树草原地区，疟原虫指数在11%至32%之间变化；在该国北部的森林地区，该指数升至64.9%；在城市地区（利伯维尔、弗朗斯维尔、兰巴雷内），6%至18%的学童为配子体携带者。在利伯维尔，儿科门诊中发热儿童的患病率达到30%。男孩和女孩受影响程度相同。5至10岁儿童组的患病率最高。96.4%的病例中发现恶性疟原虫，5.3%为三日疟原虫，2.4%为卵形疟原虫。对寄生虫负荷的研究表明，56%的阳性受试者无性生殖体少于10000个/立方毫米，44%多于10000个血寄生虫/立方毫米。这些结果与赤道非洲的邻国相似。
