Human populations in the low-land littoal of southwestern Irian Jaya are exposed to holoendemic malaria, principally caused by P. falciparum. The spleen rate in children of ages 2-9 years, in 4 villages ranged from 78% to 97%, and parasite prevalences were from 21% to 52%. Three known vectors of malaria, An. farauti, An. koliensis and An. punctulatus, were present, the latter two being most abundant. One specimen of each of the latter two species, upon dissection, was found carrying sporozoites in thoracic tissue. Larval habitats were numerous in peridomestic sites, including drainage ditches, natural ground pools and plots of Ipomea reptans; thus the vector populations were always in close contact with the human populations.
伊里安查亚西南部低地沿海地区的人群面临着疟疾的全地方流行，主要由恶性疟原虫引起。在4个村庄中，2至9岁儿童的脾肿大率在78%至97%之间，寄生虫感染率在21%至52%之间。存在三种已知的疟疾传播媒介，即法氏按蚊、科氏按蚊和斑点按蚊，后两种最为常见。解剖后发现，后两种按蚊的各一个样本在胸部组织中携带子孢子。在住宅周边地区，包括排水沟、天然地面水池和蕹菜地块，幼虫栖息地众多；因此，媒介种群一直与人群密切接触。
