title: Control strategies of malaria in Henan Province, China.
abstract: Malaria had been one of the main problems of public health, with the highest incidence rate of 16.94%, in Henan Province of China in 1970. The rate has been very low (about 5 per 100,000) in the 1980s and the 1990s since malaria had been controlled in the 1970s. But in recent years, malaria has resurged and outbreaks occurred with an incidence rate of more than 40% in some local areas where An. anthropophagus was the main vector, and falciparum malaria cases have been found. At present, malaria control strategies should focus on surveillance of malaria, management of population dynamics, health education and adopting practicable integrated measures.
