[The importance of some factors which endanger the eradication of malaria in Moldavia].
The present paper reports on the results of a haematologic and serologic survey carried out for assessing quantitatively and qualitatively the importation of malaria, in terms of the two routes of penetration of plasmodia in Moldavia. Examination of peripheral blood droplets and testing by indirect immunofluorescence showed the higher proportions recorded in subjects coming from endemic malarial areas (6.6% and 70.9% respectively) than in our citizens travelling abroad in malarial areas (0.1% and 3.3% respectively). Attention is drawn to the essential components of the epidemiologic situation today: the existence of a dynamic reservoir of import plasmodia that can only be partly detected and is added to the residual autochtonous reservoir of P. malariae, to the receptivity of the human population and the presence of the natural transmitter vector P. vivax.
