title: [The current malariological situation in the countries of western Africa. 1. The Republic of Guinea].
abstract: Favorable climatic conditions in the Republic of Guinea are conducive to a high prevalence of infectious and parasitic diseases, responsible for 70% of primary consultations of the population, malaria being diagnosed in 40% of cases. Five landscape malariologic zones were singled out in the country, that are characterized by a certain level of malariogenicity. In the lowland/river and mountain/river zones the parasite index of children aged 2 to 9 varied from 16.4 to 45%, and in some foci it reached 63.1%. Foci in the Guinea-Sudan type wet savanna zone are also referred to meso- and hyperendemic ones. The mountain/forest zones are mainly mesoendemic. Malaria foci in the forest/savanna zone in southern Guinea and in the Sierra Leone northern provinces are hyper- and holoendemic, with the parasite index of children aged 2 to 9 being 76.3-92%.
