[Epidemiology of malaria in Tanna (Vanuatu)].
A malaria survey done on the island of Tanna (Southern part of Vanuatu) showed that this island was hypoendemic with a few areas mesoendemicity where permanent breeding site are available for Anopheles farauti. The average spleen rate was 5,25% and the parasite rate 10,43%. Plasmodium vivax was the most prevalent species. The vector Anopheles farauti was found to be endophilic. Recently, chloroquin resistance was observed.
