Unstable vivax malaria in Korea.
Korean vivax malaria had been prevalent for longtime throughout the country with low endemicity. As a result of the Korean war (1950-1953), malaria became epidemic. In 1959-1969 when the National Malaria Eradication Service (NMES) was implemented, malaria rates declined, with low endemicity in the south-west and south plain areas and high endemic foci in north Kyongsangbuk-do (province) and nor...
متن کاملPlasmodium vivax malaria: status in the Republic of Korea following reemergence.
The annual incidence of Plasmodium vivax malaria that reemerged in the Republic of Korea (ROK) in 1993 increased annually, reaching 4,142 cases in 2000, decreased to 864 cases in 2004, and once again increased to reach more than 2,000 cases by 2007.

متن کاملOptimal Control Strategy of Plasmodium vivax Malaria Transmission in Korea
OBJECTIVE To investigate the optimal control strategy for Plasmodium vivax malaria transmission in Korea. METHODS A Plasmodium vivax malaria transmission model with optimal control terms using a deterministic system of differential equations is presented, and analyzed mathematically and numerically. RESULTS If the cost of reducing the reproduction rate of the mosquito population is more tha...
متن کاملStatistical estimations for Plasmodium vivax malaria in South Korea.
OBJECTIVE To calculate the numbers of weekly infections and prevalence of malaria, and to predict future trend of malaria incidences in South Korea. METHODS Weekly incidences of malaria for 13 years from the period 2001-2013 in South Korea were analyzed. The back-calculation equations were used with incubation period distributions. The maximum likelihood estimation for Poisson model was also ...
