[Results of epidemiological surveillance of malaria vectors in the Moscow open water reservoirs].
In the past 2 years, the malaria epidemiological situation in Moscow has drastically deteriorated, sporadic cases of local transmission of tertian malaria (Plasmodium vivax) have been notified, which permits one to pose a problem, namely to eliminate malaria in the megapolis by 2010. Monitoring and assessment of the entomological situation, surveillance of the malaria vectors Anopheles mosquitoes in particular, acquire vital importance. The entomological surveillance has shown its efficiency on the territory of the megapolis and a need for continuous monitoring and assessment in future in order to consolidate the achieved success and to attain malaria elimination in Moscow by 2010. The major benefit of hydraulic measures is that they are directed on fundamental radical environmental enhancement. The impact of timely and properly implanted hydraulic measures is long-term, therefore this prophylactic line has been considered to be of priority.
