Diseases contracted in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and observed in Western Australia (WA) have comprised malaria, amoebiasis, ancylostomiasis, filariasis and leprosy. This small series of cases demonstrates the prolongation of incubation periods of malaria following chemoprophylaxis, the spread of chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum (both to Western and Eastern regions of PNG), the ineffectiveness of chloroquine against Entamoeba histolytica in the intestine and the value of oral penicillin as a prophylactic for filarial lymphangitis.
在巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）感染并在西澳大利亚（WA）观察到的疾病包括疟疾、阿米巴病、钩虫病、丝虫病和麻风病。这一小系列病例表明了化学预防后疟疾潜伏期的延长、恶性疟原虫耐氯喹菌株的传播（传播至PNG的西部和东部地区）、氯喹对肠道内溶组织内阿米巴无效以及口服青霉素作为丝虫性淋巴管炎预防药的价值。
