title: [Efficiency of a package of therapeutic and preventive measures in the Republic of Tajikistan in the malaria postepidemic period (2000-2007)].
abstract: In 2005, Tajikistan joined the Move of Elimination of Tropical Malaria in 2010 and Tertian Malaria to 2015 (Tashkent Declaration, WHO European Office for European). To achieve the targets and goals, it is necessary to evaluate the efficiency of therapeutic and preventive measures in 2000-2007, i.e. in the postepidemic period preceding elimination (pre-elimination according to the WHO terminology). Investigations were conducted in the Gorno-Badakhstan Autonomous Region, Khatlon and Sogdiysk Regions, in the districts under the Republic's jurisdiction, and in the city of Dushanbe. The results of the investigations has shown that a small proportion of the population has red blood cell glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, which does not preclude mass preventive treatment with primaquine that is responsible for a 2.5-fold reduction in the number of foci (783 foci of different types). Foci should be typified for the rational use of a package of therapeutic and preventive measures in the endemic areas. Differentiated packages of therapeutic and preventive measures correspondingly to the National Malaria Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan should be implemented depending on the type of a focus.
